Service and Calibration of Top Loader Weighing Balance

The Technology Innovation Agency (TIA) has issued a request for quotations (RFQ, reference POS10026) for the servicing and calibration of a Mettler Toledo top-loader weighing balance. The tender is published under the Preferential Procurement Regulations 2022 (SBD 6.1) and is listed under the category of manufacture of chemicals and chemical products, which suggests the equipment is used in a laboratory or technical environment where measurement accuracy is important.

The core requirement is preventive maintenance and metrological calibration of the balance to restore or confirm its accuracy and compliance with the manufacturer's specifications. Service work typically covers inspection, cleaning, adjustment, and replacement of worn parts, followed by calibration against traceable reference weights and the issue of a calibration certificate. Bidders should confirm the exact tasks, the calibration standard or tolerance required, certificate format, and any turnaround or on-site requirements in the supporting documents, as the detailed scope could not be extracted from the published notice.

For the agency, reliable calibration supports accurate results, data integrity, and compliance with internal quality requirements. For suppliers, the opportunity offers a short-term, defined service contract. Interested bidders should review POS10026.docx, SBD 6.1, and Annexure A carefully, complete all required forms, and submit quotations by the closing date of 10 November 2026.
