## Summary

The Health & Safety Executive is currently conducting a procurement process for the "Provision of a Gas Chromatograph Mass Spectrometer". This tender falls under the category of laboratory, optical, and precision equipment, with a total estimated contract value of £80,000 and a minimum value of £60,000. The procurement method is an open procedure, and the tender period concludes on 24 February 2021. The contract is expected to commence on 1 March 2021 and run until 1 September 2021, with responses due to be submitted to tenders@hse.gov.uk.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses focused on analytical equipment, particularly those specialising in laboratory goods and services. Companies that can provide either new or reconditioned instruments are encouraged to compete, especially smaller enterprises and voluntary and community sector organisations which are deemed suitable for this procurement. Engaging in this process could allow businesses to establish lasting relationships with the Health & Safety Executive, thereby enhancing their market presence in the field of scientific research equipment.

## Notice

The HSE Science and Research Centre is looking for equipment to enhance the analytical capability of HSE and enable it to meet the requirements of both the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) and external customers. This system would be used for the analysis of very low levels of analytes in complex biological matrices. Whilst preference is for a new instrument, if you wish to offer a reconditioned instrument (for example, to meet the delivery deadline) you must state the build age of the actual instrument offered and the manufacturer's supported lifetime (and the supplier's supported lifetime, if different). Additional information: HSE is seeking a supplier who can provide a GCMS, in-line with requirements of Schedule A. If you are interested in applying, please provide a detailed breakdown of costs for the item and provisions described within Schedule A, and complete Schedule B, Tender Submission form. Whilst preference is for a new instrument, if you wish to offer a reconditioned instrument (for example, to meet the delivery deadline) you must state the build age of the actual instrument offered and the manufacturer's supported lifetime (and the supplier's supported lifetime, if different). All responses should be submitted via tenders@hse.gov.uk, quoting HSE/T3868
