## Summary

The procurement process involves the University of Exeter seeking suppliers for "The supply of 1 x single quadrupole GCMS and 1 x accurate mass GCMS". This tender falls within the goods category, specifically related to mass spectrometers, and is focused on enhancing water quality analysis across eight catchments in Devon and Cornwall. The tender period has recently concluded, with a submission deadline that passed on 16 June 2022. This process was conducted as an open procedure and was associated with the joint project "Upstream Thinking".

Opportunities for business growth arise from this tender, particularly for companies that specialise in high-precision analytical equipment and environmental monitoring solutions. Businesses with expertise in manufacturing or supplying mass spectrometers, as well as those focused on water quality analytics, would be in a favourable position to compete. The funding for this tender was set at £250,000, highlighting a substantial investment in crucial environmental research and technology.

## 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.
