The tender, titled "GB-Wiltshire: Supply of Industrial Methylated Spirits, IMS," aims to procure 98% IDA with an initial requirement of 10 drums (2050 litres) and an option for an additional 5 drums if necessary. The procurement method is an open procedure, with the tender period closing on 12th May 2017.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the chemicals and scientific supply sector, particularly those supplying industrial chemicals and consumables. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate, as this procurement is suited to a diverse range of suppliers capable of meeting the requirements for a one-time use of IDA in a scientific research trial. Businesses looking to expand their portfolio in government contracts or those with expertise in supplying specialised chemicals would be particularly well-placed to compete for this contract.

## Notice

To procure 98% IDA (Ethanol 98% denatured with methanol; a.k.a. industrial methylated spirits, IMS). Initially we require 10x 205L drums (2050L) but with the option to buy another 5 drums (estimate) if required. The IDA is a consumable item, used to support a scientific research trial, with none left over at the end. As far as I know this is a one-time usage of a large amount of IDA, for our specific purpose.
