## Summary

The procurement process involves UK Shared Business Services Limited, with a focus on acquiring a "Dissolved Inorganic Carbon Analyser" for the analysis apparatus industry. The contract, valued at £40,047.01, is located in Swindon, England, and the tender period officially concluded on 3rd June 2018. The award for this contract was published on 15th June 2018, indicating an active status to Apollo SciTech LLC, who will be supplying the required equipment. The procurement method employed was a direct single tender action, as this procurement was below the threshold.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in scientific analysis equipment and technology, particularly those that specialise in analysers and related goods. Companies experienced in supplying high-precision scientific instruments, especially in environmental monitoring and analysis, would find this contract particularly relevant. Businesses that can demonstrate expertise in providing similar goods and maintaining quality standards are encouraged to explore similar opportunities for growth and collaboration in future tenders.

## Notice

The dissolved inorganic carbon analyser extracts dissolved carbon dioxide in all its forms (CO2 gas, bicarbonate, carbonate) from seawater and prepares the resultant gas stream for quantification. It consists of a highly efficient gas bubbling reactor, a mass-flow controller to control the carrier gas flow precisely, a digital pump for transferring accurate amounts of reagent and sample. The analyzer uses an electronic cooling system to control the reactor temperature and, with the help of a Nation tube, to eliminate the water vapour. The system can be coupled with a Picarro's G-2021 i Analyzer for the simultaneous and precise quantification of Dissolved Inorganic Carbon (DIC) and d13C for natural water samples.
