## Summary

The Centre for Environment, Fisheries and Aquaculture Science (CEFAS), based in Lowestoft, UK, has completed a procurement process titled "CEFAS26-82 Repair and Maintenance contract for PEAK instruments" within the services industry category. This process involved the direct award of a contract for the repair and maintenance of specialised lab instruments, valued at £18,582.71, to Peak Scientific Limited. Awarded as a direct procurement without competition, the contract is scheduled from 16th June 2026 to 15th June 2029. This process falls under the sub-central government public authority classification, as validated by the UKPGA 2023/54 legal basis.

The contract presents opportunities for businesses engaged in repair and maintenance services of electrical machinery and apparatus, specifically those that can comply with rigorous operational, quality, and health and safety standards. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), particularly those with specialist capabilities in maintaining technical instruments, could find similar opportunities with public organisations. By demonstrating the capacity to provide manufacturer-level maintenance services, businesses may position themselves to secure future contracts and grow their footprint in the public sector market.

## Notice

This is a 3 Year service contract for specialised lab instruments. These technical instruments require specialised maintenance by the manufacturer (Peak) to ensure they remain functional for operational, quality and H&S requirements as critical parts of the instruments are replaced annually with factory certified parts during the preventative maintenance visit
