## Summary

The University of Exeter is conducting a procurement process for the supply of a single quadrupole GCMS and an accurate mass GCMS, with a focus on enhancing water quality analysis as part of the Upstream Thinking project, a collaboration with South West Water. This procurement is classified under the goods category, specifically for mass spectrometers, and was initiated via an open procedure. The contract period is set to commence on 25th July 2022, with key tender dates having concluded on 16th June 2022.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses specialising in scientific equipment, particularly those that manufacture or supply mass spectrometers or related analytical tools. Companies, especially small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), can leverage this opportunity to grow by providing innovative solutions to meet the precise analytical requirements outlined by the University. Engaging in such procurements can enhance their market presence in the environmental and research sectors, especially within Devon and Cornwall.

## Notice

The University will not be awarding a contract against this tender. The project, Upstream Thinking, is a joint venture between the Centre for Resilience in Environment, Waste and Water (CREWW) and South West Water. This phase of the project centres on water quality in 8 catchments within Devon and Cornwall. We are looking for the capability to analyse for taste and odour compounds with high precision, mainly Geosmin and MIB at this time, but also to allow for the measurement of a wide range of compounds, which will future proof the equipment and increase the scope of the research going forward. To achieve this, we are looking to purchase a single quadrupole GCMS and an accurate mass GCMS.
