The total contract value is £15,000, and the procurement is classified under the CPV code for Incubators, falling under the goods category.

Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations would be well-suited to compete in this procurement process. The location for delivery includes various regions such as British Oversea Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, the United Kingdom, and others across the world.

## Notice

Cefas require a large Innova(r) stackable incubator unit capable of maintaining an internal temperature of +- 1C and allowing for adjustable lighting (addition and removal of bulbs to facilitate a range of light levels). The equipment must also have an orbital shaker built into it with an orbit of 25mm and adjustable RPM. The unit must be compatible with Innova(r) 44 Incubators to allow for stacking on top of existing units. The incubator unit will be used to maintain controlled conditions for the duration of acute and chronic ecotoxicological tests. Many of these tests are standardised and follow specific guidelines which dictate required environmental conditions (e.g. ISO / EPA / OECD). Incubators are used to maintain specific parameters for both test organisms and for test reagents.
