## Summary

The procurement process, initiated by the UK Centre For Ecology & Hydrology, is focused on acquiring three flux tower systems for a project related to peatlands. The tender, identified as HC199-21 and classified under CPV code 38427000, calls for goods valued at £118,710.18 and is situated in Wallingford, England. This direct procurement method was conducted as a single tender action, and the contract period is set to begin on 12 May 2021, concluding on 31 July 2021. The tender was awarded on 11 May 2021, marking a significant milestone in this procurement process.

This tender offers a unique opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that specialise in the provision of environmental monitoring equipment and technologies. Companies with expertise in the supply of instruments such as eddy covariance flux stations or related data analytics tools would be particularly well-placed to compete. Engaging with this procurement process could enhance business growth by allowing suppliers to integrate their products into ongoing research initiatives and contribute to vital environmental studies in the UK.

## Notice

3 x new eddy covariance (EC) flux stations, including CPEC310 H2O/CO2 infrared gas analysers (IRGA), are required to measure mass and energy fluxes as part of 07667 BBSRC GGR Peatland C Farming project. The Campbell Scientific Ltd. (CSL) instruments and parts are essential for enabling the continuation of long-term flux measurements that maintains compatibility with the wider UKCEH flux tower network and other projects within the same GGR research programme. Additionally the CPEC310 instrument continues to provide crucial data and insights into instrument performance and flux analyses across the existing network. This therefore has potential to significantly influence this field of research.
