What is being bought

Kent Scientific Services (KSS) has concluded a procurement process and awarded an agreement to a service provider for the maintenance and servicing of its gas and liquid chromatography equipment. The agreement covers the provision of preventative maintenance (PM) and corrective maintenance (CM) servicing for the instrumentation specified in the tender documents. Please note that the estimated contract value of the service is £105,000 (excluding VAT). This estimation is based on the actual cost of Preventative Maintenance servicing combined with the anticipated cost of Corrective Maintenance servicing throughout the commission. The actual contract value is subject to the frequency of CM (Engineer call-outs) and the cost of parts that are required during the contract term. Therefore, the contract value is indicative and may exceed the figure specified within this notice.
