What laboratories buy through tenders

  • Chromatographs, spectrometers and other analysers.
  • Optical and electron microscopes and imaging accessories.
  • Balances, ovens, centrifuges, fume hoods and test benches.
  • Reagents, glassware and other consumables, often on multi-year supply contracts.
  • Installation, calibration and service agreements.

Classification by CPV

Laboratory, optical and precision equipment is classified under CPV division 38. Detection and analysis apparatus uses 38430000, analysers 38434000 and microscopes 38510000. Laboratory reagents (33696500) and laboratory glassware (33793000) belong to the medical and pharmaceutical division instead, while calibration services are coded 50433000 and installation of laboratory equipment 51430000.

Reading technical specifications

Instrument tenders are highly technical and sometimes written around a particular specification, so the full documents are worth reading early. A point-by-point compliance statement, manufacturer authorisation, training and local service capability are commonly requested. If a clause appears to favour one brand, procurement rules in many countries allow bidders to ask for clarification before the deadline.

Tools for instrument suppliers

Subscribers can request tender documents, have them translated at no extra cost, and see which suppliers won recent laboratory contracts and at what value. Daily alerts by keyword and CPV code catch new notices from research and testing bodies.

Are laboratory consumables tendered separately from instruments?
Laboratory consumables are often tendered separately from instruments, usually as multi-year supply contracts split into many lots of reagents, glassware and disposables. Some buyers instead combine an analyser with its reagents for several years, so instrument suppliers and consumables distributors should both read the lot structure before deciding how to bid.
