The Contracting Authority wants to consolidate all purchases of apparatus and instruments as well as laboratory furniture and related consumables, including software, after-sales services and service agreements in a number of framework agreements.

These agreements will substitute the agreements that the Contracting Authority currently holds with a number of suppliers based on two tenders, with a total of 25 lots, conducted and awarded in 2010.

Furthermore the Contracting Authority will in this tender procedure, and the subsequent purchases on basis of mini-tender procedures, have more focus on entering into service agreements with the suppliers where relevant and thereby submitting these service agreements to competition along with the apparatus or instrument.

Consolidation of these purchases is expected to generate a volume of approx. 100 000 000 DKK annually. However, the final volume of purchases depends on a number of aspects, in particular specific requirements, equipment that needs replacing as well as the grants awarded during the term of the framework agreement. The framework agreement holders are not guaranteed any purchases under the agreements.

Tenders are invited in respect of framework agreements with the following 26 lots:

1. Centrifuges

2. Super speed centrifuges, high speed centrifuges and ultra speed centrifuges

3. Cooling and freezing equipment for laboratories

4. Laboratory furniture
