## Summary

The procurement process is being conducted by UK Research & Innovation for the acquisition of a collision reaction cell multi collector inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer with MS/MS capability, classified under the goods category within the mass spectrometer industry. The procurement is currently at the award stage, with the contract value set at £820,000. The delivery location is in Nottingham, and the tender period ended on 25th June 2021, with the award decision being made shortly thereafter.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in scientific equipment manufacturing or those involved in advanced instrumentation technologies. Companies capable of meeting high-quality standards and offering competitive pricing will find suitable prospects within this procurement. Moreover, firms experienced in supplying specialised laboratory equipment to research institutions or geological surveys would be particularly well-placed to compete in this tender opportunity.

## Notice

BGS would like to procure a collision and reaction cell (CRC-) multi-collector (MC-) inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer (ICP-MS) with MS/MS capability, hereafter referred to as a CRC-MC-ICP-MS/MS. A primary focus for this instrumentation will be direct analysis of solid materials, sampled by laser ablation (LA), for isotopic characterisation and dating using static spot, raster ablation and imaging protocols. Geochronology and isotopic characterisation using beta decay systems (Rb-Sr, K-Ca, Re-Os), U-Pb and U isotopes are a key focus, but other isotope system capabilities with this instrumentation are also of interest (e.g. Si, Fe, Cu and Sr-Nd-Hf-Pb).
