## Summary

The procurement process is led by the UK Centre For Ecology & Hydrology, focusing on the acquisition of three new flux tower systems and an additional gas analyser, valued at £105,923.39. This procurement falls under the goods category, specifically classified as fluxmeters. The tender was conducted through a direct procurement method, identified as a single tender action below the threshold, and the award was completed on May 11, 2021. The contract period for successful suppliers will run from May 12, 2021, to July 31, 2021, with delivery addresses listed in Wallingford, England.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses operating in environmental monitoring and scientific instrument supply. Companies that specialise in the manufacture or distribution of fluxmeters and gas analysers, particularly small and medium enterprises (SMEs), would be well positioned to approach the contracting authority for similar projects. Engaging with the UK Centre For Ecology & Hydrology may lead to further contracts within the growing field of environmental research and climate change studies, making this a prime opportunity for business expansion in the sector.

## Notice

x new eddy covariance (EC) flux stations, including 4x IRGASON-BB H2O/CO2 infrared gas analysers (for three new sites, and the harmonisation of an existing site), are required to measure mass and energy fluxes as part of 07362 CWI-IBERS-BBSRC PBC4GGR. The Campbell Scientific Ltd. (CSL) instruments and parts are essential for enabling the continuation of long-term flux measurements that maintains compatibility with the wider UKCEH flux tower network and other projects within the same GGR research programme. Additionally the IRGASON-BB instrument continues to provide crucial data and insights into instrument performance and flux analyses across the existing network. This therefore has potential to significantly influence this field of research.
