## Summary

The Environment Agency, part of the Defra Network eTendering Portal based in Bristol, is conducting a tender for the Supply of Water Quality Instruments. This procurement falls within the goods category, specifically focused on telemetry equipment, with a total contract value of £4,500,000. The contract period began on 1st October 2020 and will run until 30th September 2022. The procurement process was carried out through an open method, where interested suppliers were invited to submit tenders before the deadline of 1st July 2020.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the environmental and telemetry sectors, especially those that can provide equipment with low maintenance requirements and extended lifespans. Suppliers familiar with statutory monitoring and environmental management investigations could particularly excel in this procurement, contributing to the Environment Agency's objective of enhancing evidence gathering for regulatory purposes. Small and medium-sized enterprises that can innovate and streamline processes in this field are well-suited to compete for this contract.

## Notice

This is a contract for the supply of Multi-Parameter Water Quality Instruments in order to equip the Environment Agency with the best evidence gathering instruments available. Future equipment must require substantially less maintenance than previously required, have a longer working life and help create cost savings in future years. The instruments will be used for statutory monitoring, (including spot sampling), European Union Directive and Environment Management investigations. Equipment will normally be transported by vehicle then carried to a sampling /deployment location by a member of staff.
