About

The Centre for Ecology & Hydrology awarded a contract to SEAL Analytical Limited for the acquisition of an Automated Multi-Chemistry Discrete Analyser (AQ400), an Annual SEAL Repair and Maintenance Agreement (Basic Contract), and a PC Pack, valued at £55,149.4.

The contract was directly awarded without quotations under Schedule 5, paragraph 6(b) of the Procurement Act 2023, which permits direct awards when competition is absent for technical reasons and only a particular supplier can provide the required goods or services.

The SEAL AQ400 offers specialised, proprietary wet chemistry analysis capabilities essential for environmental monitoring and compliance operations, and its compatibility with existing data systems and laboratory workflows, along with its ability to meet stringent performance specifications, means no reasonable alternative exists.
