## Summary

The National Physical Laboratory (NPL) is currently conducting a tender for the procurement of a chemiluminescence analyser, titled "RFQ - NO-NOx Chemiluminescence Analyser." This process is classified under the "goods" category, specifically for laboratory, optical, and precision equipment. The tender is taking place in Teddington, London, with a closing date for submissions set for 17 August 2020. The contract period is scheduled to commence on 11 September 2020 and extend until 10 September 2021. This procurement is being executed through a limited method, utilising competitive quotations below the threshold.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses, particularly those specialising in laboratory equipment and precision instruments. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with experience in manufacturing or supplying scientific instruments would be well-suited to compete in this procurement. Additionally, businesses capable of meeting the technical specifications outlined, such as compact design and integration features, stand to benefit greatly from this opportunity. Engaging in this contract could enhance their visibility and strengthen relationships with public sector clients.

## Notice

The NPL requirement is for a chemiluminescence analyser that can measure high amount fraction nitrogen monoxide and nitrogen dioxide (measured as NOx) reference gas mixtures (up to 10,000 mmol/mol, or 1 %) according to BS EN 14211. The purpose is to replace an old asset and to extend our capability so that it meets our requirements. The chemiluminescence analyser will be used to measure reference gas standards that will be relatively clean, so if there is a choice of catalytic converter materials it is preferable to be more selective towards NO2 than to be more resilient against catalyst poisoning. The analyser needs to be compact enough to be rack mounted in a standard rack (max width 450 mm), and ideally it should have an integrated pump and ozone generator and destroyer as space is limited. It should be able to generate dry air for the ozone generator without the need for an external supply gas. The analyser should have an analog output signal of 0 - 10 V and should be easily integrated into a measurement system with the voltage being logged by a compact RIO data acquisition module (NI 9202, +- 10 V, 24 bit). Additional information: Please do not contact the person listed on this notice. Documents can only be obtained through Bravo Solutions.
