## Summary

The UK Centre For Ecology & Hydrology is conducting a direct procurement for a Thermal Gravimetric Analyser (TGA) valued at £68,625.26. This procurement falls under the goods category and is classified as an analyser, with the procurement stage now complete. The tender period concluded on 28 May 2021, and the contract is set to commence on 11 June 2021, continuing until 31 July 2023. The procurement method employed was a single tender action below the threshold, meaning it was targeted at a specific supplier.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses that specialise in high-precision analysers or related technology. Companies able to provide sophisticated analytical equipment, particularly those with capabilities in high-temperature analysis, would be well-positioned to explore similar contracts. As the buyer has engaged a specific supplier, market entrants should focus on demonstrating innovation and flexibility in their product offerings to increase their competitiveness in future procurement opportunities.

## Notice

PerkinElmer is the only supplier that can supply us with the thermal gravimetric analyser (TGA) other suppliers in the market only manufacture the FTIR system. The TGA system can research extremely high temperature that will give a us a more flexible system for the analysis of a greater range of samples and their evolved gases. The TL9000e transfer line unlike the other systems uses a pump system to pull the gases from the TGA through to the gas cell and then out at a user defined rate (10ml-200ml/min). This means that the TGA system will deliver a constant and controlled flow across the temperature range giving consistent FTIR response.
