## Summary

The procurement process involves UK Research & Innovation, which is seeking to acquire a collision reaction cell multi-collector inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer (CRC-MC-ICP-MS/MS) for geochronology and isotopic characterisation. This tender, identified as BIP597208812, falls under the goods category in the mass spectrometer industry, with an estimated value of £820,000. The tender is currently in the active stage of the Open procedure, with the deadline for submissions set for 25th June 2021, and the delivery location specified as the East Midlands region of the United Kingdom.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in analytical instrumentation and mass spectrometry. Companies with expertise in manufacturing or supplying advanced scientific equipment, particularly those with capabilities in isotopic analysis and laser ablation technology, would be well-suited to compete for this contract. Engaging in this procurement process can enhance business growth by establishing partnerships with leading research institutions and driving innovation within the field.

## Notice

BGS would like to procure a collision and reaction cell (CRC-) multi-collector (MC-) inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer (ICP-MS) with MS/MS capability, hereafter referred to as a CRC-MC-ICP-MS/MS. A primary focus for this instrumentation will be direct analysis of solid materials, sampled by laser ablation (LA), for isotopic characterisation and dating using static spot, raster ablation and imaging protocols. Geochronology and isotopic characterisation using beta decay systems (Rb-Sr, K-Ca, Re-Os), U-Pb and U isotopes are a key focus, but other isotope system capabilities with this instrumentation are also of interest (e.g. Si, Fe, Cu and Sr-Nd-Hf-Pb).
