## Summary

The University of Edinburgh has awarded a contract for the purchase of Bruker EM27/SUN Series Spectrometers for atmospheric studies to Bruker UK Limited. The procurement involved the use of an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. The contract, worth £517,965.44 GBP, was signed on September 14, 2023. The University of Edinburgh sought these spectrometers to support the GEMINI+Edinburgh project, focusing on detecting greenhouse gas emissions in urban and remote sites, with a specific focus on greenhouse gas concentrations arising from various sources.

This tender for IoT EM27/SUN Series Spectrometers by the University of Edinburgh can provide business growth opportunities for suppliers of specialized scientific instruments. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) capable of providing highly specialised technical equipment are well-suited to compete in such tender processes. The University's procurement for these spectrometers highlights the importance of using specific suppliers due to technical necessity and specialised requirements in the scientific research domain, offering a clear niche market opportunity for suppliers of similar scientific instruments.

## Notice

The EM27/SUN Series represents mobile analysers dedicated to atmospheric studies with outstanding performance. It is used by universities and research institutions, for example in urban sites to determine the impact of human activities, e.g., on greenhouse gas concentrations, but also in remote sites to investigate natural gas sources such as bush fires or gases emitted from melting permafrost or swamps. By positioning several EM27/SUN around such potential sources of greenhouse gases, their source strength can be detected and even be quantified.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

The EM27/SUN Series represents mobile analysers dedicated to atmospheric studies with outstanding performance. It is used by universities and research institutions, for example in urban sites to determine the impact of human activities, e.g., on greenhouse gas concentrations, but also in remote sites to investigate natural gas sources such as bush fires or gases emitted from melting permafrost or swamps. By positioning several EM27/SUN around such potential sources of greenhouse gases, their source strength can be detected and even be quantified. The total number of sensors which is required are 5. This is for the GEMINI+Edinburgh Project. The contract also includes Bronze level support, which succeeds the standard warranty that prevails for the first year of the contract.

### Procurement Information

The five Bruker EM27/SUN units are being purchased for use in the GEMINI+Edinburgh project, using the same scientific approach, applied at the city level (City of Edinburgh), for determining Green House Gas Emissions, as has been utilised in the GEMINI UK-wide project from which this project stems. It is therefore critical that the same underlying highly specialised scientific instrument is used. There is therefore no applicable alternative, and Bruker are the sole supplier of this scientific instrument.
