## Summary

The University of Sheffield is seeking to procure a Particulate Matter Analyser, aimed at real-time analysis of particulate matter and aerosols. This tender is classified under the goods category, specifically concerning laboratory, optical and precision equipment, and has a total value of £125,000. The procurement was initiated through an open procedure, and the tender period concluded on 12th April 2022. The contract is expected to commence on 2nd May 2022 and run until 31st August 2022, with the delivery location specified as Yorkshire and the Humber, England.

This procurement presents a significant opportunity for businesses, particularly SMEs and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations, to engage in high-value contracts within the environmental and analytical equipment sector. Companies that specialise in laboratory equipment, environmental monitoring technologies, or systems that offer modular or portable solutions for particulate measurement would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. The flexibility required in the equipment's installation may also appeal to businesses that provide customised engineering solutions.

## Notice

This tender document is specifically focused on the procurement of a system for a real time Particulate matter and aerosol analysis to study size, number and mass concentration of a wide range of particulate matter and aerosol. The analyser will be installed on various research and test equipment onsite and offsite. This requires the system to be relatively portable or movable with a good degree of installation flexibility. The system can be made integrated or modular to allow measurements from a wide range of PM sources such as gas turbine exhaust, Biomass combustion Processing, furnaces, IC engine exhaust and even from ambient air.
