    Brief

    Cefas Weymouth laboratory seeks a qualified supplier to provide comprehensive pipette maintenance, calibration, and repair services for approximately 250+ instruments. The supplier must be ISO/IEC 17025 accredited and capable of servicing multiple brands including Eppendorf, Gilson, Sartorius, Rainin (Mettler Toledo), Biohit, HTL, Thermo Electron, Labsystems, and Fisherbrand. The contract requires an annual onsite clinic at the Weymouth facility spanning 3-4 weeks, preferably scheduled for January 2025 (week of 6th or 13th) and recurring each January thereafter. Pipettes are critical for the laboratory's molecular, virology, and tissue culture testing work related to aquatic disease detection and identification, requiring reliable calibration and maintenance to support ISO/IEC 17025 accredited testing operations. Beyond maintenance services, the supplier must provide onsite training workshops for Cefas laboratory staff covering calibration requirements, pipette type identification, equipment limitations, appropriate service level selection, and differences between manufacturer and ISO standard calibration protocols relative to laboratory usage.
