Services-Framework-Sampling and Analysis Services (CIP4)

Description

United Utilities (UU) require a supplier for the collection of samples and refrigerated transportation from UU for analysis for CIP4. The programme will run alongside AMP8 and the scope is being finalised. The required determinants and sample numbers will be detailed within any tender documentation. The UKWIR Chemicals Investigation Programme (CIP) is a research programme including investigations into the occurrence, sources and removal of trace substances from the wastewater works. CIP4 will be the next phase to this research. Any tender documentation will be based on the draft scope and revised with the successful supplier once confirmed. Samples must be transported in a refrigerated vehicle in accordance with ISO 5667 requirements. Upon collection of the samples, the results should be returned to the Laboratory within an agreed reasonable turnaround time, in an agreed reasonable format. The intention is that sampling will commence September 2024, and will be ongoing for 5 years.
