    RBG Kew is seeking a four-year procurement agreement to enable the servicing, support (including liquid helium fills) and repair costs of an existing 400 MHz NMR system to be purchased in accordance with the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. Within this procurement agreement, the present tender is for a four-year maintenance contract agreement to cover remote support, liquid helium refills of the magnet and quench recovery attempt and is inviting two options, one with and one without an annual preventative maintenance visit. The procurement agreement would allow any additional maintenance costs, such as repairs not covered by the service contract, to be purchased separately and as needed from Suppler without further tendering.
