## Summary

The UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology has completed a procurement process for a five-year Service, Extraction, and Maintenance (SEM) contract concerning the maintenance of three Agilent Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometers (GCMSs) and one High-Performance Liquid Chromatograph (HPLC). This contract, valued at £98,701.20, falls under the category of repair and maintenance services for measuring apparatus and was awarded following a direct procurement method due to its nature as a single tender action. The contract period commenced on 13th September 2021 and will run until 21st July 2026, with the tender period having concluded on 12th September 2021.

This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in equipment maintenance and repair services, specifically those experienced in working with scientific measuring and testing apparatus. Companies that can demonstrate compliance with Agilent's warranty and service protocols, and those that are small to medium enterprises (SMEs), would be particularly well-suited to compete for similar future tenders. This procurement offers a path for specialised service providers to enhance their business presence in the scientific equipment maintenance sector.
