## Summary

The public procurement process involves the acquisition of a collision reaction cell multi-collector inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer (CRC-MC-ICP-MS/MS) by UK Research & Innovation, based in Nottingham, East Midlands, United Kingdom. The tender, identified as BIP613252443, was awarded on 15th July 2021, with a total contract value of £814,988 and an active contract period from 16th July 2021 to 30th June 2022. This open procurement method was utilised to ensure a competitive bidding process within the goods category, specifically related to mass spectrometers.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses involved in advanced scientific instrumentation, particularly those specialising in mass spectrometry and geochronology. Companies capable of providing innovative solutions for isotopic characterisation and analysis, especially those experienced in laser ablation techniques, will find this project particularly relevant. Engaging in similar contracts can enhance a business's market presence and foster long-term partnerships within the research and scientific community.

## 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).
