## Summary

The UK Centre For Ecology & Hydrology is seeking to procure three flux tower systems for a new project through a direct procurement method, specifically a single tender action. The total contract value is £121,904.41 and was awarded to Campbell Scientific Limited. The procurement process is complete and was initiated with the tender period concluding on 31 August 2021, while the contract started on 1 September 2021 and is set to end on 29 November 2021. This procurement falls under the goods category, specifically classified as fluxmeters, and the delivery address is located in Wallingford, England.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in the manufacture and supply of environmental monitoring equipment and systems. Companies with capabilities in producing high-quality, compatible scientific instruments, particularly those focused on eddy covariance systems, will find this project aligns well with their offerings. As the buying organisation prioritised a sole supplier to ensure compatibility and technical support, businesses that can demonstrate proven reliability and quality in their products will likely excel in future tenders of similar nature.

## Notice

3 x new eddy covariance (EC) flux station including CPEC310 H2O/CO2 infrared gas analyser (IRGA) are required to establish new stations in Northern Ireland which must be comparable with existing sites and data processing systems that are in use across the growing UKCEH and affiliated EC network. The Campbell Scientific Ltd. (CSL) instruments and parts are essential for enabling reliable collection of comparable long-term measurements. The CPEC310 systems and supporting environmental instrumentation provide the high-quality data required for UKCEH science. These systems are specifically designed to be more autonomous to minimise UKCEH staff time (e.g. field maintenance, field data capture) and T&S costs that are incurred with regular field visits. Procuring the complete system from CSL as a single supplier lowers overall costs and ensures full compatibility of instruments, whilst providing enhanced warranty and technical support benefits (e.g. logger programming). CSL are based within the UK, thereby reducing shipping Additional information: Compliant with 32(5)(a) - Additional Deliveries
