Laboratory Furnishing — Public Tenders
The fit-out of laboratories in schools, universities, research institutions, and public testing labs is tendered regularly. Laboratory furnishing covers laboratory furniture (workbenches, fume cupboards, shelving), technical installations (gas, water, electricity, extraction), and laboratory equipment. Requirements for safety, ergonomics, and chemical resistance are high.

Challenges in finding tenders
Depending on the contracting authority, laboratory fit-out is tendered as a supply contract (furniture and equipment), as a works contract (technical installation), or as a combination of the two. The procurement category determines the applicable law and the search strategy. Laboratory fit-out lots are also frequently part of new-build or refurbishment projects.
Technical requirements are very specific and vary considerably by laboratory type (chemistry, biology, physics, metrology). A general search for "laboratory fit-out" often produces irrelevant hits.
