UK SBS RE17385 CRDS Analysers
Notice Description
The final date and time for the submission of bids is Tuesday 28th November 2017 at 11:00 DO NOT apply directly to the buyer. All tender information MUST be submitted through the CCS eSourcing Portal Brief Description of Requirement The Centre for Ecology & Hydrology (CEH) is a world-class research organisation focusing on land and freshwater ecosystems and their interaction with the atmosphere. Uniquely, CEH integrates UK-wide observation systems and curiosity driven research, from the smallest scale of genetic diversity to large-scale, whole-Earth systems. CEH works across disciplines and facilitates academic, public, private and voluntary sector partnerships. CEH's extensive, long-term monitoring, analysis and modelling deliver UK and global environmental data, providing early warnings of change and management solutions for our land and freshwaters. CEH requires two cavity ring-down (CRDS) analysers and each instrument should measure carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide and ammonia simultaneously. The analysers need to be field-deployable in a mobile laboratory located in a horsebox. The analysers will also be used in traditional laboratories or moved around in fields using small trolleys. CRDS analysers use a single-frequency laser diode and two high reflectivity mirrors to measure the small gas-phase molecules at the near-infrared absorption level of the spectrum. The concentration of gases within any species can be determined by measuring the strength of absorption. Because of the mirrors, a CRDS analyser is able to measure at parts per billion over several kilometres as the laser 'bounces' between the mirrors thousands of times. CRDS analysers also do not require a fluorophore to be added to excite light within organisms. Please ensure you review all attached information to ensure a full understanding of this requirement. All attachments can be found with the RFx attachments tab within the Emptoris System. This contract will be awarded based on the evaluation criteria set out in the ITQ document.
