*** This Tender requirement was abandoned prior to a Contract award decision *** The final date and time for the submission of bids is Friday 23rd November 2018 at 14:00 DO NOT apply directly to the buyer. All tender information MUST be submitted through the CCS eSourcing Portal. Brief Description of Requirement CEH Lancaster currently have an outdated de-ionised water system in place in the west wing of the site, which is experiencing more and more frequent faults/leaks. In addition to these faults, the de-ionised water system is identified on our asset register/condition survey as being due for upgrade/replacement. As well as seeking a new system for the west wing we plan to install an additional system in the east wing. This has been identified as a requirement for the site moving forward from the site survey completed by the Senior Engineer at Lancaster. This will provide the Lancaster site with a back-up system for the science community should one fail. Currently due to there only being one system at Lancaster scientists are having to collect water from 3 floors away in multiple 5 litre bottles on a daily/weekly basis for essential cleaning of lab glass and plastics. By installing the second system, we provide the site with an additional system should the main system fail but also reduce transportation and health and safety issues such as slips, trips, falls, spills etc. Please ensure you review all attached information to ensure a full understanding of this requirement. All attachments can be found with the RFx attachments tab within the Emptoris System. This contract will be awarded based on the evaluation criteria set out in the ITQ / RFP document.
