What is being bought

Northumbrian Water Limited wish to purchase some major items of analytical laboratory equipment over the next 5 years. The incumbent suppliers are Agilent Technologies, & Skalar. They were awarded a framework contract in 2021. Using information from the AMP8 capex replacement programme, prices will be sought up front, and a strategic partner or partners would be awarded a five year framework. The framework will be split into five lots as follows: 1. Gas Chromatography / Mass Spectrometry (GCMS) 2. Liquid Chromatography / Mass Spectrometry (LCMS) 3. Inductively coupled plasma / Mass Spectrometry (ICP MS & OES) 4. Flowcytometry 5. Ancillary laboratory equipment

Lot details

Gas Chromatography / Mass Spectrometry (GCMS)

• Systems are currently used for drinking water (DW) analysis of final and raw waters for a range of herbicides and pesticides. • Used for semi-quant analysis to identify SV unknowns • Need library for ID • Hydrogen (He alternative) to be used as carrier gas • Autosampler capacity ca 50 place • Chromatographic integration software

Statusactive

Liquid Chromatography / Mass Spectrometry (LCMS)

• Systems are currently used for drinking water (DW) analysis of final and surface waters for a range of herbicides and pesticides. • First system will need to achieve limits of quantification (LoQ) calculated as defined by Drinking Water Inspectorate (DWI) regulations similar to existing for urons or as a minimum better than LoQ of 30% of PCV by either direct injection or via use of incorporated online enrichment for potable and surface water samples using a maximum sample volume of 5ml. Use triple quadruple technology. • Second system (yr 3) is for the analysis of pesticides with same performance requirements as above • Include automated online pre-concentration which is able to process up to 5ml sample • Autosampler capacity ca 100 place • Chromatographic integration software capable of CSV or similar format output

Statusactive

Inductively coupled plasma / Mass Spectrometry (ICP MS & OES)

• System capable of achieving drinking water (DW) analysis as defined by Drinking Water Inspectorate (DWI) regulations of final and surface waters for a range of metals including: Cr, Ni, Ag, Cu, Zn, Pb, Cd & Hg. • Achieve limits of quantification calculated as defined by Drinking Water Inspectorate (DWI) regulations similar to existing methods or as a minimum better than LoQ of 30% of PCV • Autosampler capacity ca 150 place • software capable of CSV or similar format output

Statusactive

Flowcytometry

• Flow cytometer benchtop cell-analysers capable of fast flow rates. • Able to auto sample from 96 well plates or equivalent. • Must feature acoustic hydrodynamic focussing. • Equipped with a minimum of one laser at wavelength 488nm. • Fluorescence resolution performance capability of CV

Statusactive

Ancillary laboratory equipment

MICROBIOLOGY INCUBATORS Required for the controlled incubation of microbiology culture samples. AUTOCLAVES • Temp range up to 135.0°C, typically operate at 121.0°C. BOILING BATHS • Must be able to maintain a rolling boil. • Safety features such as long handles and lids are critical. • Typical volume - 30L. • Easy drainage to clean. GLASSWASHERS • Laboratory grade e.g. Miele. Domestic dishwashers are unsuitable. • Must be able to run a 60°C cycle for taste and odour glassware. • Requirement to accept an external deionised water feed may be required for a final rinse stage. • Ideally will have a Manufacturer's option of being raised for ergonomic loading and unloading. 47MM MAGNETIC FILTERS FUNNELS • Fully compatible with Cytiva (formally Pall) manifold system. • Magnetic Seal to allow easy, one-handed vacuum filtration of liquids. • 7.6cm diameter. • Polyphenylsulfone construction. • Graduated 50mL increments. • Nonsterile. • Fully Autoclavable. • #8 stopper with proper bore hole size included. • Approximately 10 per annum 150mL funnel capacity (Cytiva 4247 or equivalent). • Approximately 5 per annum 300mL funnel capacity (Cytiva 4242 or equivalent). LABORATORY FRIDGE & FREEZERS • Laboratory grade. OVENS • Laboratory grade.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 38. The category anchor is Laboratory, optical and precision equipments (excl. glasses) (38000000); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.

Comparison setProceduresReported bids per procedureNamed award suppliersPrice evidence
Market: CPV division 382,9922 median · 12 average (1,388 of 2,992 with a bid count)2.6 average (1,589 of 2,992 with named award suppliers)Not published

Delivery region: UKC822 median · 11.2 average (39 of 82 with a bid count)1.8 average (40 of 82 with named award suppliers)Not published

“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.

Price-outcome signal

Not enough comparable procedures currently publish both a GBP tender value and a usable lowest-valid-bid value to calculate a responsible price-reduction benchmark. Tenderline deliberately does not infer a saving from named award suppliers or from missing award values.
