## Summary

The University of Plymouth is seeking suppliers for a project titled "Gas Chromatograph Multi-System," aimed at enhancing climate-related research through the acquisition of advanced gas chromatography equipment. This open procurement process, classified under the goods category with a budget of £150,000, is currently in the Award stage as of May 5, 2021, reflecting ongoing efforts to mitigate climate change. The contract period is set to begin on February 8, 2021, and end on April 30, 2021, with delivery accepted at the university’s premises in Plymouth, England.

This tender presents significant business opportunities for SMEs specialising in analytical instrumentation and environmental science solutions, particularly those capable of providing state-of-the-art gas chromatographs. Companies that can deliver customised solutions with multi-functional analysis capabilities and modern software integration would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. Engaging with this procurement could enhance supplier partnerships, contributing to broader research efforts and innovation in environmental technologies.

## Notice

Climate change and its associated effects provides one of the most daunting challenges that humanity has faced. In recognition of the effect of continued emissions of greenhouse gases on planet warming and extreme events, institutions, councils, and countries (including Plymouth, UoP, and the UK) have declared a climate emergency. Climate-related research thus has the potential for major economic, political, and societal impact. UoP boasts an impressive number of experts who can make a major contribution to both understanding, and mitigating climate change. We are internationally recognised for our ability to develop and apply robust analytical science to address key environmental questions. We thus request state-of-the-art instrumentation to analyse gases and volatiles at trace levels. For this, we propose to purchase a gas chromatograph allowing, inter-alia, the analysis of greenhouse gases (CO2, CH4, N2O), volatile amines, and isoprene.
