## Summary

The UK Shared Business Services Limited is conducting a procurement process for the "UK SBS Skyline2D System," aimed at establishing multiple research platforms across the UK to enhance crop productivity and mitigate environmental impacts. This procurement falls under the goods category, specifically soil pollution mapping and monitoring, with a total contract value of £36,587. The procurement method is classified as limited, allowing for the award of the contract without prior publication of a notice. The tender period concludes on 16 January 2017, and the contract is set to commence on 17 January 2017, ending on 28 April 2017. The project is associated with the University of York, which will serve as a supplier for this initiative.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that specialise in environmental technologies and agricultural innovations. Companies that focus on soil health and pollution measurement, as well as those with capabilities in mobile laboratory services, would be well-positioned to compete for this contract. Engaging in this project could facilitate business growth by enabling firms to contribute to sustainable agricultural practices and environmental conservation efforts within the UK.

## Notice

ASSIST aims to establish between 10-20 research platforms (40-80 experiments) across the United Kingdom to improve crop productivity whilst reducing environmental impacts. One such environmental impact is the release of potent greenhouse gases (GHG's) (global warming and human health impacts) from agricultural systems including soils which can reduce environmental benefits. Given the number of fieldsites NERC have won capital funding to build a mobile greenhouse gas laboratory which can be moved from location to location. The Skyline system was bespoke designed by York University engineers for a similar NERC funded project in 2014. It consists of one large GHG chamber which moves along a zip line from location to location to enclose a soil and plant area for GHG measurement.
