Specialist Laboratory Testing Services for Natural Resources Wales

Natural Resources Wales (NRW) is seeking specialist analytical laboratory services to support its environmental monitoring programmes. The contractor will provide specialist chemical and biological testing for freshwater, marine, sediment, and biota samples that cannot be analysed in-house due to technical complexity, need for specialized equipment, or capacity limitations. Services must align with NRW's six-year Monitoring Strategy and Planning cycle to ensure consistent data quality and continuity across all monitoring activities. This is a preliminary market engagement notice to gather supplier information and shape the procurement approach. Participation in the pre-market engagement questionnaire is optional and will not affect suppliers' ability to bid in future procurement processes.
