## Summary

The University of Exeter has recently completed a procurement process for a project named "Upstream Thinking" in collaboration with South West Water. The project focuses on water quality in 8 catchments within Devon and Cornwall, requiring the purchase of a single quadrupole GCMS and an accurate mass GCMS for analysing taste and odour compounds like Geosmin and MIB. The procurement method used was an open procedure, with the tender period closing on November 10, 2022. The awarded contract, valued at £349,175.16 GBP, was granted to AGILENT TECHNOLOGIES LDA UK LIMITED, commencing on January 11, 2023, and ending on January 12, 2028.

This procurement process presents an opportunity for businesses specialising in goods related to mass spectrometry equipment to expand their operations. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) particularly are encouraged to consider engaging with the University of Exeter for potential future projects. With the contract now awarded, businesses in the South West region of the United Kingdom stand to benefit from potential collaboration and growth opportunities arising from this successful procurement.

## Notice

The project, Upstream Thinking, is a joint venture between the Centre for Resilience in Environment, Waste and Water (CREWW) and South West Water. This phase of the project centres on water quality in 8 catchments within Devon and Cornwall. We are looking for the capability to analyse for taste and odour compounds with high precision, mainly Geosmin and MIB at this time, but also to allow for the measurement of a wide range of compounds, which will future proof the equipment and increase the scope of the research going forward. To achieve this, we are looking to purchase a single quadrupole GCMS and an accurate mass GCMS.
