## Summary

The Defra Network eTendering Portal is overseeing a completed tender for the procurement of scientific equipment, specifically a mass spectrometer (CPV code: 38433100). The contract, valued at £216,000, was signed on 4th March 2021 and falls under the goods category. This tender was conducted as a limited procurement method, an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, owing to the specialised nature of the required equipment. The delivery is designated for the region "UKH1".

This procurement presents opportunities for businesses focused on scientific and laboratory equipment, particularly those that specialise in mass spectrometry technologies. Companies that can provide integrated systems compatible with existing equipment, and demonstrate the capability to enhance the analysis process, would be particularly well-placed to compete in similar future tenders. The active status of the award to Thermo Electron Ltd highlights potential pathways for businesses to engage with government procurement processes in the environmental protection sector.

Scientific equipment

### Procurement Information

Competition is absent for technical reasons 32(b)(2)(ii) as purchase is required to couple with existing equipment. The item purchased also can visualise the plasma via an integrated TV system that would allow the operator to adjust specific ICP parameters and therefore optimise time for analysis
