## Summary

The procurement process involves UK Shared Business Services Limited, who is sourcing a new Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) balance system for a total value of £46,330.26. This contract falls under the goods category pertaining to laboratory, optical, and precision equipment, and is located in Swindon, England. The procurement was conducted through a direct method, specifically a single tender action below the threshold, and the award was published on 2nd March 2020. The contract period commenced on 2nd March 2020 and will conclude on 31st March 2020.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in laboratory equipment and precision instruments, particularly small and medium enterprises (SMEs) engaged in manufacturing or supplying similar goods. Suitable businesses would ideally have experience in providing high-quality scientific instruments and related consumables that meet the specific requirements of research institutions. Engaging in this opportunity could enhance market presence and forge relationships with key organisations such as UK Shared Business Services Limited and the British Geological Survey.

## Notice

Thermogravimetric (TGA) balance system with connection for mass spectrometer and associated consumables. The mission-critical BGS thermogravimetric (TGA) balance is out-of-spares-warranty and therefore any future breakdown will result in a complete and permanent loss of function and will mean BGS will fail to deliver a range of EI and grant/PhD research. BGS therefore wishes to purchase a replacement TGA balance to ensure it fulfils its ongoing commitments and enable it to market the facility more widely.
