## Summary

The UK Centre For Ecology & Hydrology is seeking to purchase an Advanced Liquid Calibration Unit valued at £35,304.93 as part of the NERC grant VOCDEP. This procurement falls under the goods category, specifically in the analysers industry, and is being conducted through a direct procurement method involving a single tender action, as the supplier is restricted to Ionicon Analytik Gesellschaft m.b.H. The tender period ended on 27 July 2021, and the contract period is set to begin on 28 July 2021 and conclude by 31 August 2021, with the delivery address located in Wallingford, England.

This tender presents a unique opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that specialise in analytical equipment and calibration solutions. Businesses that offer complementary services or products in mass spectrometry and laboratory instrumentation would be well-suited to engage with the buyer, potentially allowing them to form strategic partnerships or develop new offerings that align with the needs of the UK Centre For Ecology & Hydrology.

## Notice

The liquid calibration unit is an add-on module used for calibration of IONICON Analytik mass spectrometers. The calibration unit will be used to calibrate the existing UKCEH proton transfer reaction mass spectrometer (PTR-TOF) and is being purchased as part of the NERC grant VOCDEP (NEC07655). The calibration unit interfaces directly with the software of the PTR-TOF and therefore this unit is only available from IONICON Analytik. Additional information: Compliant with 32(5)(a) - Additional Deliveries
