Laboratory services

Tender description

Following surveys within Kuwaiti waters to collect water, sediment and biota samples the Authority require laboratory analysis for: — chemical contaminants, — physical properties, — biological contaminants, — radionuclides, — taxonomy. To complete these analyses, the Authority requires a framework of specialist suppliers. This tender describes our overall requirements for laboratory services, which are divided into 12 Lots. Cefas (The Centre for Environment, Fisheries and Aquaculture Science), the Authority, is an Executive Agency of the UK Government’s Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra). It is an applied science agency that primarily supports government decision making whilst extending its reach across the public sector, the EU and wider markets where possible in regards to marine and closely related environments. Our work takes us from freshwater to the open ocean, and includes both wild and farmed fish. Our influence and leadership spans a wide spectrum of issues, including: — climate change impacts and adaptation, — marine planning and environmental licensing, — sustainable fisheries management, — marine biodiversity and habitats, — fish and shellfish health and hygiene, — emergency response. Backgound to the project: The Surveying and Establishment of a Comprehensive Database for the Marine Environment of Kuwait project, also known as the “eMISKMarine Implementation Project” is a project being commissioned by the Kuwait Environment Public Authority (EPA) to support the EPA in fulfilling its requirements in accordance with the Environment Protection Law for the State of Kuwait (Law 42 of 2014). The Environment Protection Law requires the EPA to develop and conduct comprehensive environmental surveys and monitoring programmes, and to establish an environmental database and provide information to support decision making. The eMISKMarine Implementation Project will support the EPA in meeting these requirements for the marine environment. The eMISKMarine Implementation Project commences with a multi-disciplinary marine and coastal environmental characterisation survey that progresses into an annual marine environmental monitoring programme. These programmes of work cover many aspects of the marine and coastal environment including geomorphology, hydrography, biology and chemistry. Many of the surveys will collect water, sediment and biota samples that require laboratory analysis for: — chemical contaminants, — physical properties, — biological contaminants, — radionuclides, — taxonomy.
