Future equipment must require substantially less maintenance than previously required, have a longer working life and help create cost savings in future years.

The Call-Off Contract is to be split into three Lots.

One supplier is to be appointed for each lot, and will be the sole supplier for that lot.

The same supplier could be appointed to one or all lots.

Preference would be given to the supplier that can provide all three Lots. • Lot 1 will be for the purchase of: Multi-Parameter Hand Held Water Quality Instruments • Lot 2 will be for the purchase of: Multi-Parameter Deployable Water Quality Instruments estuarine and fresh water use • Lot 3 will be for the purchase of: Multi-Parameter deployable for marine use The Call-Off Contract is to be awarded for 3 years with the option to extend for 2 additional 12 month periods.

The Prices will be those detailed in the pricelist as submitted in the tender.

The Prices will be fixed for the duration of the Contract (3 years) and any agreed extension (2 years), until the Contract ends.

The Agency will retain the option to purchase upgrades throughout the term of the agreement and these upgrades should be at the same, if not lower prices as those tendered.

This tender will be conducted as an Open Procedure as governed by the Public Contracting Regulations 2015 This is a single stage procedure and no negotiation is permitted.
