The purpose of this procurement is to purchase a Gas Chromatograph for an experiment to determine the radiolysis rate of water adsorbed to the surface of irradiated UO2 powders and other radioactive material. The tender is in the active stage with a contract period starting on August 1st, 2023, and ending on December 31st, 2023. The tender deadline is June 23rd, 2023, at 17:00 GMT. The procurement falls under the goods category and is open to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). This tender for the Gas Chromatograph provides an opportunity for businesses operating in the industry category of gas chromatographs, chromatographs, and chromatographic scanners to compete and potentially secure a contract with the National Nuclear Laboratory. SMEs are specifically encouraged to participate in this open procedure procurement. The contract period from August to December 2023 allows for successful bidders to contribute to NNL's experimental setup, demonstrating innovative solutions for radiolysis rate assessment. Businesses that can provide high-quality Gas Chromatographs and related services are well-suited to engage with NNL for this project. ## Notice This is a requirement for the purchase of a Gas Chromatograph. National Nuclear Laboratory (NNL) has been contracted to carry out an experiment to determine the radiolysis rate of water adsorbed to the surface of irradiated UO2 powders and other radioactive material. During the experiment, the rate of hydrogen generation and the maximum pressure the gases generate by radiolysis will be monitored. NNL have designed an experimental setup which can provide the required data and have previously contracted the National Physical Laboratory (NPL) to develop and demonstrate a measurement system which utilised a gas chromatograph (GC) to identify and measure the volumes and concentrations of the gases expected to be produced during radiolysis process. In the next phase of the project, NNL intend to build a full scale non-active prototype of the system which will be used to demonstrate that the method developed by NPL works on a realistic scale. This system will then be modified such that it can be installed in an active facility for use. In order to complete this NNL need to procure a GC which can initially be used on the non-active prototype and later utilised on the final active rig. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/81ef1d5c-ce39-4fb4-b544-50d99d0426e3 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Other - other | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 23 Jun 2023 | | Submission deadline | 30 Jun 2023 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 Jul 2023 - 31 Dec 2023 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | EU SUPPLY LIMITED | | Additional buyers | NATIONAL NUCLEAR LABORATORY | | Locality | WARRINGTON | | Post town | Warrington | | Postcode | WA3 6AE | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD6 Cheshire | | ITL 3 | TLD61 Warrington | | Local authority | Warrington | | Electoral ward | Birchwood | | Westminster constituency | Warrington North | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 38 - Laboratory, optical and precision equipments (excl. glasses) ### Codes - 38432200 - Chromatographs - 38432210 - Gas chromatographs - 38522000 - Chromatographic scanners ## Release History - 23 Jun 2023 at 15:45 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/81ef1d5c-ce39-4fb4-b544-50d99d0426e3 - 19 May 2023 at 11:10 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/81ef1d5c-ce39-4fb4-b544-50d99d0426e3 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/81ef1d5c-ce39-4fb4-b544-50d99d0426e3 23rd June 2023 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://uk.eu-supply.com/app/rfq/rwlentrance_s.asp?PID=68587&B=NNL Additional data - https://uk.eu-supply.com/ctm/Company/CompanyInformation/Index/124934 User / Company ## Notice URLs - https://www.nnl.co.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
