Health & Safety Executive awarded a contract to Thermo Fisher Scientific for the maintenance of its ThermoScientific ICS5000+ ion chromatography instrument, which is used for commercial samples, the AIR PT scheme, and forensic analysis related to statutory workplace regulations and incident investigations.

The contract, valued at approximately AUD 14,853, was directed to the equipment manufacturer under Regulation 32(2)(b)(ii) due to the absence of competition for technical reasons, as Thermo Fisher Scientific is the only known supplier with the specialist knowledge required to maintain the equipment to the required standard and provide rapid guaranteed repair services.

Regular maintenance is necessary to comply with the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations (PUWER) for safe operation, maintain analytical measurement quality, reduce instrument downtime, and maximize the lifespan of the equipment, which has an estimated replacement cost of around £100k.
