## Summary

The UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology has completed the procurement process for the ISCO 6712 Full-size Portable Sampler, a contract valued at £31,577.75. This procurement falls under the goods category, specifically within the industry of chromatographs. The contract was initiated as a single tender action below the threshold, with the award date on 17th November 2020. The contract period started from 18th November 2020 and concluded on 29th January 2021, with the relevant procurement conducted in Wallingford, England, specifically at the Thames Monitoring station in Taplow.

This tender represents a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in environmental monitoring equipment and related goods, particularly those that can deliver similar or compatible samplers. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to consider engaging with projects like this, especially those with innovative products that address dynamic sampling needs, which are crucial for ecological studies and responses to changing conditions.

## Notice

RS Hydro are the only UK distributors of ISCO autosamplers, a product that UKCEH have used in the past to facilitate automatic sample collection. The ISCO 6712 samplers requested are unique in that they can be triggered remotely from a mobile phone, allowing a dynamic sampling response to rapidly changing weather conditions. The Avalanche refrigerated sampler is the only such sampler that can fit through the narrow doors of the Thames Monitoring station at Taplow, which is where it will be located. Other refrigerated samplers are too wide. By purchasing the Avalanche autosampler, we will also be able to re-use of the bottles and equipment from the Avalanche system that it will be replacing. The same applies to the GLS sampler.
