The requirement covers pipette maintenance across Public Health Wales sites; the detailed scope is set out in the invitation to tender. NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership, hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust, is managing the procurement, with Public Health Wales as the end user. The work is laboratory equipment servicing and calibration, including testing apparatus (CPV 38500000). Delivery is in Wales. The buyer invited offers through an open procedure. This is a single-lot procurement. The deadline for questions was 29 October 2026 at 12 noon, and the tender submission deadline is 2 November 2026 at 12 noon. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 January 2027 to 31 December 2029, with an option to extend by two years in one-year increments, to a latest end date of 31 December 2031. The estimated value is £250,000 excluding VAT (£300,000 including VAT). The buyer will assess the most economically advantageous offer, weighted 60% on price and 40% on technical quality. Bids may be submitted in Welsh or English. This opportunity suits providers with strong technical expertise and proven experience servicing laboratory pipettes, including inspection, fault diagnosis and repair, and accurate calibration. Suppliers need the capability and capacity to support equipment used by Public Health Wales Infection Services across its sites, rather than a single laboratory location. The buyer describes the desired contractor as highly qualified and experienced, so evidence of relevant personnel, technical competence and reliable service delivery will be important to demonstrate against the technical-quality element of the evaluation. Welsh- or English-language tender responses are accepted. Firms able to maintain laboratory equipment consistently over a multi-year service period, and to respond to repair and calibration needs across multiple sites, are best placed to compete. ## Notice Public Health Wales are looking for a highly qualified and experienced contractor to deliver comprehensive maintenance and repair services for Public Health Wales Infection Services. This includes the inspection, maintenance, repair and calibration of all pipettes used within PHW Infection Services. Public Health Wales Trust recognises the importance of the Welsh Language to the communities it serves. Consequently, responses to an invitation to quote or tender will be accepted in Welsh as well as English. However, please note that tender responses submitted only in Welsh will be translated by the Health Board into English before consideration. Those involved in translating the document will be barred from taking decisions on awarding tenders. Full details outlining the scope of the works are contained within the eTender Wales invitation to Tender. The tender will be awarded to the most economically advantageous tender based on 40% quality and 60% cost as detailed in the ITT document. Please note that the tender closing date is 02/11/2026 at midday and any late submissions will not be considered. The etenderwales bravosolutions ref:project_64080 and itt_127653.
