You could try contacting your local (UK) laboratory supplier.

The major ICP-MS manufacturers usually have stock solutions that are pre-mixed for many situations (yours looks like an environmental application).

Inorganic Ventures make all sorts of elemental mixes and have a UK distributor: https://www.inorganicventures.com/international-distributors
