UK SBS promotes a collaborative environment, focusing on efficiency and service quality, making this a valuable contract for suppliers willing to engage with public sector needs and demonstrate their capabilities in providing field-ready analytical instruments.

## Notice

CEH requires two cavity ring-down (CRDS) analysers which can measure carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide and ammonia simultaneously. The analysers need to be field-deployable in a mobile laboratory located in a horsebox. The analysers will also be used in traditional laboratories or moved around in fields using small trolleys.
