Notice Title

Allonby Bay Highly Protected Marine Area Saline Contaminant Analysis

Notice Description

PLEASE NOTE: An error has been identified in 'OFFICIAL RFQ Annex 3 Chemicals to be screened for using GCMS' and as a result a new version has been issued. Please ensure that you have downloaded the new version 'OFFICIAL RFQ Annex 3 Chemicals to be screened for using GCMS V2' and base your response on this. The updated Annex 3 lists 1066 chemicals for the GC-MS screen (not 1067 as stated in the Specification of Requirements in the Request for Quotation). The Environment Agency are collecting saline water samples each month at Allonby Bay Highly Protected Marine Area (HPMA) for Natural England. Natural England are seeking a contractor to analyse aqueous contaminants from these monthly saline water samples starting from July 2024 until March 2025. This data will contribute to the baseline data for the site, and the HPMA pilot project, and will allow us to understand the water quality within the HPMA at the point of designation. We require testing for the presence of a range of chemical contaminants (as detailed in the specification) using Gas Chromatography - Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) along with semi quantitative information for these chemicals. We also require testing for the presence of Perfluorooctanoic Acid (PFOA) and Perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS) and quantification of these chemicals. Additional information: To apply for this opportunity you must submit your quotation meeting the requirements detailed in the Request for Quotation (RFQ) attached. Your response must be sent to hpmas@naturalengland.org.uk by 12 midday on 02 July 2024. If you have any clarification questions linked to this opportunity or the procurement process please submit these via email to hpmas@naturalengland.org.uk by 12 midday on 25 June 2024. Please note that, unless commercially sensitive, both the question and the response will be circulated to all tenderers.
