CEFAS23-127 ITT for micro-FTIRs for the Ocean Country Partnership Programme
Notice Description
The Ocean Country Partnership Programme (OCPP) is one of a series of projects funded through the Blue Planet Fund., The OCPP will develop Technical Assistance partnerships with a selection of ODA eligible partner countries. The OCPP will incorporate and expand on the UK's existing programming and partnership work, for example the Commonwealth Litter Programme (CLiP) to continue transformative work on marine litter, as well as bringing in activities to tackle other forms of marine pollution, biodiversity, and sustainable seafood challenges. Through addressing the above marine challenges, the OCPP hopes to ensure seafood produced and distributed in ways which support healthy ecosystems, do not overexploit marine stocks, provide sustainable inclusive and equitable livelihoods and enhance resilience to climate and socioeconomic shocks. There is a growing concern about the widespread occurrence and abundance of microplastics (particles below 5 mm in size) and their unknown environmental effects. To date, there are no widely accepted protocols for the extraction and detection of microplastics in environmental compartments (sediment, biota and water). Cefas has developed a fast screening method for microplastics in environmental compartments in Sri Lanka but is currently lacking the capability for particle characterisation for the smaller sized items (below 300 um in size). This capability is required for the accurate investigation in microplastic concentrations and composition that is essential to assess their behaviour in the environment and the risks for biota and human health related to exposure. As a result, the marine litter team at Cefas Lowestoft Laboratory currently require one fully motorised micro-FTIR in order to carry out analysis on microplastics particles. The unit will be housed at the Wayamba University of Sri Lanka and therefore require delivery and installation in Sri Lanka. The main objective is the quantification and characterisation of particles on filters (extracted from sediment, biota and water samples) quickly, efficiently and accurately. The anticipated value for the purchase of the single current required unit is PS110,000 - PS120,000. Cefas may require further micro-FTIR units for other locations under this programme of work and this Contract will cover provision of additional units up to a total Contract value of PS500,000. Please note that any purchase beyond the current requirement of one unit is not guaranteed.
