## Summary

The Royal Botanic Gardens Kew, based in England, has awarded a contract for the purchase of a Portable Infra-Red Gas Analyzer Photosynthesis System with Fluorometer. The procurement process, classified under Gas-detection apparatus and related analysis apparatus, was initiated as a direct procurement method with a single tender action. The tender period ended on 16th November 2021, and the contract period spans from 20th November 2021 to 20th October 2022.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses in the gas analysis and testing industries, especially those providing specialized equipment for measuring photosynthesis and gas exchange parameters. Suppliers offering state-of-the-art infra-red gas analysis and chlorophyll fluorescence equipment suitable for research applications in plant biology and environmental studies would be well-suited to compete for this tender with the Royal Botanic Gardens Kew.

## Notice

A portable and rugged Infra-Red Gas Analyzer Photosynthesis System with integrated Fluorometer with fully-automated CO2 and H2O control (for Relative Humidity/Vapor Pressure Differences) (including accessories, plus additional chambers, and extended warranty). This will be a new state-of -the-art infra-red gas analysis (IRGA) and built-in chlorophyll fluorescence (CF) equipment to enable measurement of whole-plant and leaf-level simultaneous photosynthesis and gas exchange parameters in the field and in glasshouse/controlled environments. It will be a rugged and flexible tool to research trait variation across germplasm (eg. across crop varieties, crop wild relatives, inter-and intra-species comparisons) in response to environmental changes and abiotic and biotic stresses.
