## Summary

Aston University, located in Birmingham, UK, is currently engaged in an open procurement process to acquire a Portable FTIR Gas Analyser valued at £72,000. This tender aims to enhance the College of Engineering and Physical Sciences by providing equipment necessary for environmental monitoring and emissions analysis, with a deadline for submissions set for 9th December 2020. The contract is expected to commence on 18th December 2020 and will last until 17th December 2021. It falls under the category of laboratory, optical, and precision equipment, specifically focusing on goods rather than services.

This opportunity presents significant growth potential for businesses specialising in advanced scientific instrumentation and environmental monitoring technologies. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that offer portable analytical devices suitable for diverse applications, including greenhouse gas monitoring and industrial emissions testing, would be particularly well-positioned to compete for this contract. Engaging with Aston University not only provides a chance to supply high-value equipment but also fosters long-term partnerships in academic and research initiatives.

## Notice

At the College of Engineering and Physical Sciences at Aston University we are looking to procure 1 x portable rugged FTIR Gas Analyser to measure trace concentration of pollutants in corrosive, wet gas streams. It will be used for continuous emissions monitoring and environmental monitoring covering a wide range of field tests and lab based research activities across the College including greenhouse gases, waste to energy, engine exhaust gases, gas sensors, food sciences. It will also be used to analyse more than 30 compounds in the range of ppm and ppb. The required equipment must be calibrated for both applications and include a sampling system.
