This project falls under the category of Research laboratory services and is based in Lowestoft, East of England, United Kingdom. The tender is in the active stage and is being conducted through an open procurement method. Key dates include a tender submission deadline of 18th September 2019, with the contract period commencing on 19th September 2019 and concluding on 2nd October 2019. The total estimated value of the contract is between £10,000 and £25,000. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the goods and laboratory services sectors, particularly those involved in water treatment technologies and systems. Companies with expertise in manufacturing water softening, dechlorination, and reverse osmosis systems will find this contract relevant. Additionally, suppliers capable of providing high-quality water measurement instruments and storage solutions are well-suited to compete. Engaging with this project could help expand their market reach and establish valuable connections within public sector procurement. ## Notice 1 water softening, dechlorination and RO production system to fill 200 L water holding and mixing tank for producing artificial seawater with ability to measure water quality (salinity, temperature and pH), plus 2x 200L circulating UV treated water storage tanks with taps. The system should be suitable for producing artificial sea water via the addition of sea salts with minimal manual manipulation. The system should be suitable for producing high quality RO water from hard tap water, which is used to fill a 200 L mixing tank suitable for dissolving sea salts (to salinity up to approximately 36 ppt) with the ability to measure water quality parameters (salinity, temperature, pH). There should be a pump in order to fill two 200 L storage tanks from the mixing tank each with UV treatment to ensure avoidance of algal growth. Each storage tank should have a tap to ensure easy removal of the prepared artificial sea water. The filling of each tank (mixing and storage) should ideally be controlled via a ballcock switch to avoid overflow. However, storage tanks should not automatically fill prior to addition of sea salts to the mixing tank up to the required salinity. The whole system will need to fit into an approximate 240 x 290 cm footprint. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a068bd0f-7fa3-4be6-a875-ea02f299c201 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 10 Sep 2019 | | Submission deadline | 18 Sep 2019 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 18 Sep 2019 - 2 Oct 2019 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £25,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | CEFAS | | Locality | LOWESTOFT | | Post town | Norwich | | Postcode | NR33 0HT | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLH East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLH6 Suffolk | | ITL 3 | TLH63 East Suffolk | | Local authority | East Suffolk | | Electoral ward | Kirkley & Pakefield | | Westminster constituency | Lowestoft | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ### Codes - 71900000 - Laboratory services - 73111000 - Research laboratory services ## Release History - 10 Sep 2019 at 08:50 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a068bd0f-7fa3-4be6-a875-ea02f299c201 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a068bd0f-7fa3-4be6-a875-ea02f299c201 10th September 2019 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.delta-esourcing.com/tenders/UK-GB-Lowestoft:-Ecotox-System-and-Seawater-Mixing-System/NM36X735Q3 Please follow this link to view the notice. ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
