    "description": "United Utilities Laboratory Services have a commitment to provide a high quality analytical service with rapid turnaround and reporting of results. \nIn line with Regulatory requirements Labs have to test for certain contaminant such as Cryptosporidium etc. Cryptosporidium is a waterborne, protozoan, parasitic human pathogen that infects a wide range of vertebrates. Infection is primarily caused by ingestion of water from a contaminated source, for example drinking or recreational water. \nWe currently have a framework agreement in place for the purchase of life science consumables to enable sampling of water to determine if there is Cryptosporidium in the water and this is due to expire on 09.10.22.\nThis Framework Agreement shall supply the necessary compliant consumables to carry out the tests.\nConsumables are required to be UKAS compliant and Products should be Certified Reference Material (CRM) and should be delivered with a Certificate of Analysis where applicable.",
