Summary of the contracting process

The Health and Safety Executive (HSL), based in Buxton, England, has recently completed a procurement process concerning the supply of a Gas Standard Generation System. This project aims to support HSL's mission in the health and safety sector by enabling the calibration and validation of air sampling methods. The contracting authority announced the award on 31 January 2017, with a contract value of £51,810, and the contract period is set to commence on 1 February 2017 and conclude by 31 March 2017. The procurement process was initiated as a tender, with the tender period having ended on 15 March 2016.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses specialising in gas generation systems and related technologies, particularly those that are small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Companies offering innovative solutions capable of delivering stable gas atmospheres, along with installation and training services, may find this opportunity advantageous. Furthermore, with a requirement for ongoing support in terms of maintenance and calibration, businesses that provide such services could also significantly benefit from engaging with HSL's needs in this domain.

OBJECTIVES HSL produces such stable standard gas atmospheres based upon procedures codified in the ISO 6145 series of standards. SPECIFICATION REQUIRED The requirements are for o System based on evaporation of a metered liquid standard to provide a stable gas concentration atmosphere (based in part upon procedures codified in ISO 6145 part 4) o Metered liquid delivery based either upon a liquid mass flow controller or syringe injection (Vendor to supply details of mass flow ranges available and tolerances) o Evaporation unit capable of heating to at least 150 degC. o 2 x digital Mass flow controllers or other metered flow system for delivery of carrier and diluent gases (Vendor to supply details of mass flow ranges available and tolerances) o Heated transfer line from evaporation chamber to exit (Vendor to supply details of achievable temperatures for evaporation chambers and associated transfer lines) o Flow path construction materials compatible with the use of organic solvents o Desirable - RS-485 communications module for optional remote PC control via HSL software written in Labview. Source code to be supplied. o Desirable -Humidity control module to produce a relative humidity range of 20 - 90 % (Vendor to supply details of achievable range, stability and set point resolution) o Desirable - Expandable modular system - e.g. extra gas metering capabilities for secondary dilution o Desirable - ability to generate standard gas atmospheres from inorganic liquids in particular mercuric chloride solution Installation, Commissioning and Training. Tender to include itemised delivery, installation, and commissioning costs for the HSL Buxton site and provision of on-site training of 3-4 staff in the use of the new system. Warranty. Customary warranty or extended warranty to be offered. HSL would like to a achieve 24 month warranty period as standard for the instrument. Other Services.
