Laboratory equipment parts and biological test kits

Summary

The tender covers laboratory equipment parts and biological test kits for the Finnish Customs Laboratory. It is divided into nine lots: API and VIDAS test reagents; columns and precolumns in several lots; R-Biopharm mycotoxin columns; R-Biopharm allergen kits; PCR kits and chromogenic specific culture media; supplier-specific spare parts; and X-ray films. A bidder may submit an offer for one or more lots, and one contract supplier will be selected for each lot. The agreements are open-ended, with no termination right during the first 18 months. The target start dates are 1 January 2027 for lots 1, 3, 4, 5 and 9; 1 March 2027 for lots 6, 7 and 8; and 1 July 2027 for lot 2. The deadline for submitting offers is 7 October 2026. The products must match the specified validated and accredited laboratory methods; in practice, the tender is directed at specified brands because changing method-critical supplies would require revalidation and reaccreditation.
