Summary of the contracting process

The UK Centre For Ecology & Hydrology has completed the procurement process for a contract titled "Trace Gas isotope analyzer (H and C) / Bulk H and O isotope analyzer". This contract falls under the industry category of Spectrometers, with a contract value of £542,500. The procurement method utilised was a limited, negotiated procedure without prior publication due to the unique nature of the required goods. The contract period is set to commence on 13th September 2021 and will conclude on 31st December 2022. Notably, a standstill period was observed from 20th August 2021 to 6th September 2021, after which the award was officially granted on 6th September 2021.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in providing specialised scientific equipment, particularly those with capabilities in high-precision spectrometry and isotope analysis. Companies that produce or supply advanced instruments for environmental research, analytical laboratories, or similar applications would be well-suited to compete in such a niche market. The successful supplier, Thermo Electron Manufacturing Limited, highlights the competitive landscape, indicating that firms with innovative technologies and tailored solutions are likely to thrive in this procurement domain.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Trace Gas isotope analyzer (H and C) / Bulk H and O isotope analyzer

Notice Description

Thermo Isotope Ratio instrument bundle (Quotation UKSOP-19654) Bundle includes 3 DELTA V Advantage Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometers (HD Ready) with the relevant prep and linking (conflo) modules, and data management, to form the following system combinations: 1. Trace gas analysis. The GasBench II and Trace Gas Precon will enable analysis of 13C in CO2 and CH4, 15N in N2 and N2O, 18O in CO2 and N2O. 13C in Carbonates is also offered using the included Carbonate option. Additional collaborative work is proposed to develop unique capability to analyse 2H in CH4. 2. Flash EA (including pyrolysis reactor); bulk isotope analysis of (for example) soil, plants, biota for: 13C,15N, 34S, 18O, 2H. An included amplifier kit will also enable analyses of these at high enrichment for tracer experiments. 3. Trace GC/ISQ 7000 hybrid GC-MS/IRMS and GC Isolink (including 15N option) to enable 13C and 15N analysis and identification of individual compounds separated by the GC 4. Standalone Vanquish Core UPLC system for quantitation of known compounds in aqueous solution/extracts. 5. Standalone EA analyser for CNS analysis. Additional information: Standstill period 20/08/2021 - 06/09/2021 The product or service required is unique and no other supplier can provide it or an equivalent that meets the requirement of the project. Compliant with 32(2)(b)(ii) - Competition is absent for technical reasons
