Instruments for checking physical characteristics

Description

Northumbrian Water Ltd wish to purchase some major items of analytical laboratory equipment over the next 5 years. The incumbent supplier is Thermo Fisher Scientific. They were awarded a framework contract in October 2015. Using information from the AMP7 capex replacement programme, prices would be sought up front, and a strategic partner or partners would be awarded a five year framework. The equipment required is split into five lots as follows: 1) Liquid Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry (LCMS); Liquid Chromatography; 2) Colorimetry (including discreet and continuous flow); 3) Physical Chemistry (pH, conductivity, alkalinity and fluoride); 4) Ion Chromatography; 5) Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry (GC, GCFID, GCMS and Thermal Desorption). Northumbrian Water Ltd wish to purchase some major items of analytical laboratory equipment over the next 5 years. The incumbent supplier is Thermo Fisher Scientific. They were awarded a framework contract in October 2015. Prior to the award of this framework, Northumbrian Water Scientific Services procured specialist analytical items individually. This was generally done by running a mini-competition between known suppliers for each capital purchase. Servicing was then negotiated and agreed for the instrument being purchased.
