Laboratory Benching & Storage, Tender for the Supply, Delivery and Installation of ERDF X03120PR

The High Growth Centre at University of Chester is inviting tenders for the supply, delivery and installation of Laboratory Benching at Thornton Science Park, as detailed in this document.

Laboratory Benching and Storage is sought to provide space for bench top laboratory equipment such as Ultra-Violet Visible Spectrometer. It will also provide work space for laboratory users’ i.e. local industry, academic research or undergraduate teaching.

All options, including parts, must be fit for purpose, fully supported, with a full guarantee and can be fully maintained.

Additional information: Tenderers are requested to note that this project is supported by the European Regional Development Fund and is therefore working to a limited budget. Tenderers are therefore strongly encouraged to submit their most “cost effective” option that most closely meets with at least the minimum specification as detailed within the workbook, (comprising of 2 worksheets), entitled: ‘Laboratory Benching & Storage - Specification & Pricing Schedule.’

Contract values and timescales for contract start and end dates are approximate.

Whilst the appointed provider will be awarded the contract for the duration of this contract term, no guarantee can be given regarding the volume, nor value, of business placed. The appointed provider may therefore be required to supply requirements, below, or in addition to, what has been initially specified, within this tender.

Full details and award criteria are stated within the tender documents.
