The procurement, titled "Supply of Multiparameter Water Quality Instruments - Lots 3 & 4," falls under the industry category of support services for land, water, and air transport (CPV code 63700000). The procurement method is an open procedure, and the contracting period begins on 2nd June 2025 and ends on 2nd June 2028, with options to extend for additional periods. The deadline for tender submissions is 4th April 2025. The delivery locations include the UK, British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, and the Rest of the World. This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) capable of providing innovative and durable water quality instruments. Companies specialising in handheld meters and telemetry-compatible units, particularly those suited for marine, estuarine, and freshwater environments, stand a good chance of being appointed for one or both lots awarded through a call-off contract. Successful suppliers will be the sole provider for their respective lot, creating a stable and potentially long-term business relationship with the EA. ## Notice The procurement documents are available for unrestricted and full direct access, free of charge, at https://defra-family.force.com/s/Welcome Any questions, requests to participate or tender submissions must be submitted electronically via this portal. The Authority requires a new Call-Off Contract for the supply of multi-parameter 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. With this in mind, we require a Call-Off Contract for the supply of handheld meters, and units capable of being telemetry compatible. The latter will be used for marine, estuarine and fresh water deployments. Therefore, the Call-Off Contract is to be split into Two Lots. One supplier is to be appointed for each lot, and will be the sole supplier for that lot. The same supplier could be appointed to one or all lots. * Lot 3: Purchase of: Multi-Parameter Instruments, deployable for marine use * Lot 4: Hire of: Multi-Parameter Instruments, deployable for marine use The Call-Off Contract for Lot 3 is to be awarded for 3 years with the option to extend for 2 additional 12-month periods. The Call-Off Contract for Lot 4 is to be awarded for 3 years with the option to extend for 2 additional 12-month periods. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b8db4492-69a0-42b1-96cd-7b2400061f6a | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (above threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 28 Feb 2025 | | Submission deadline | 4 Apr 2025 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 1 Jun 2025 - 2 Jun 2028 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | 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 | EA | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South West London | | Postcode | SW1P 4DF | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI35 Westminster and City of London | | Local authority | Westminster | | Electoral ward | St James's | | Westminster constituency | Cities of London and Westminster | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 63 - Supporting and auxiliary transport services; travel agencies services ### Codes - 63700000 - Support services for land, water and air transport ## Release History - 28 Feb 2025 at 14:44 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b8db4492-69a0-42b1-96cd-7b2400061f6a - 21 Feb 2025 at 11:26 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/19f71a1d-093b-499b-8a49-5f7a135c4fe6 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b8db4492-69a0-42b1-96cd-7b2400061f6a 28th February 2025 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/19f71a1d-093b-499b-8a49-5f7a135c4fe6 21st February 2025 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/c757a667-82a5-464a-b723-882b7f132246 C28150 - Tender - Supply of Multiparameter Water Quality Instruments - Lot 3 & 4 (FINAL - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/62bd1084-f1ca-4ae0-9c19-0deb6fa015b4 C28150 - Tender - Supply of Multiparameter Water Quality Instruments - Lot 3 & 4 (FINAL ## Notice URLs - https://defra-family.force.com/s/Welcome ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
