## Summary

The procurement process involves the UK Centre For Ecology & Hydrology, which is seeking to acquire a water-based condensation particle counter (CPC) for measuring total particle numbers in conjunction with volatile organic compounds (VOCs). This tender, titled "Versatile Water-CPC", falls under the goods category, specifically fluxmeters (CPV code 38427000). The procurement method employed is a direct process through a single tender action for an award valued at £28,350. The contract period spans from 6th November 2020 to 28th February 2021, with the award date noted as 5th November 2020.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in scientific equipment and instrumentation. Businesses with capabilities in providing advanced measurement technologies or environmental monitoring solutions are particularly well-suited to compete. By engaging with the UK Centre For Ecology & Hydrology, these suppliers can enhance their market presence while contributing to important ecological research initiatives.

## Notice

A water-based condensation particle counter (CPC) with high response time is required for flux measurements of total particle number in situation where volatile organic compounds (VOC) are also measured thus preventing the use of more conventional butanol-based CPCs.
