## Summary

The University of Southampton has recently awarded a contract for the supply of a quadrupole mass spectrometer system. The procurement title is "Photocatalytic Heterojunction Z-schemes for Sustainable Hydrogen Production." This tender falls under the goods category and utilised a competitive quotation method. The contract period is set from May 14, 2024, to September 13, 2025. The University is located in Southampton, United Kingdom, and the tender deadline was on April 8, 2024.

This tender offers business growth opportunities for suppliers of mass spectrometer systems, specifically tailored for hydrogen production research. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) would be well-suited to compete due to the contract's fit for goods procurement. Businesses in the South East region of the United Kingdom could benefit from this opportunity. The tender stage was marked as "Award," indicating that the contract has been successfully granted to Pfeiffer Vacuum Ltd, a large-scale supplier located in Newport Pagnell.

## Notice

In order to support our recently awarded project on the investigation of "Photocatalytic Heterojunction Z-schemes for Sustainable Hydrogen Production", we require quadrupole mass spectrometer system, principally to detect hydrogen and oxygen gas evolved from a light activated water splitting photocatalyst. The photocatalyst particles will be suspended in water in reactor vessel which will be attached to a closed gas circulation system. This gas space must be sampled by the gas analyser system to quantify the amount of hydrogen and oxygen present, and monitor its evolution over time, with the ability to export the data to a PC. It is essential that the system can detect and discriminate between hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen and water, and desirable if can detect possible decomposition products of the photocatalysts such as NOx,H2S and SOx.
