Framework for lab consumables in three lots for water testing.
United Utilities Water Limited is procuring a goods framework for laboratory consumables to support regulatory, operational, and investigative water and wastewater testing. The framework is divided into three lots: Lot 1 covers chromatography and ICP consumables (e.g., columns, vials, tubing) linked to validated methods and instrument ecosystems; Lot 2 covers chemicals with specified grade, purity, and documentation requirements (SDS, CoA); Lot 3 covers analytical reagents and test kits with method-specific performance criteria. Bidders may tender for one or more lots, and each lot is evaluated separately. Alternatives or substitutions are not permitted unless explicitly approved. The appointed supplier(s) must ensure reliable supply, stock availability, traceability, and quality assurance.
