The equipment will be used for analysing a range of environmental matrices including waters (freshwater, groundwater, treated effluents) soils, sediments, passive sampler extracts and associated materials after appropriate extraction and pre-treatment. NRW are looking to purchase these machines with a 1 year warranty, and a 4 year service and maintenance contract to follow. If possible, we will be looking to secure a further 5 year service and maintenance contract with the successful supplier subject to supplier availability. ### Lot Information Auto-Titrator Alkalinity and Fluoride Analyser NRWAS are looking for an auto-titrator instrument that can auto-titrate and analyse for Alkalinity and Fluoride. The equipment must have a robotic sampling system and have to ability to auto-titrate, analyse for Alkalinity and Fluoride, and produce analytical data reports. We require the successful supplier to deliver and install the machine by 28/02/2025. We are looking to purchase this with a 1 year warranty, and a 4 year service and maintenance contract to follow. If possible, we will be looking to secure a further 5 year service and maintenance contract with the successful supplier subject to supplier availability. The equipment will be used for analysing a range of aqueous matrices such as fresh water, treated effluent, Trade to control and acid rain water. The samples will be analysed independently for Alkalinity and Fluoride to comply with the Water Framework directives, environmental directives and pollution response. The required specification for the analysis are:- Alkalinity Instrument should have the capability to analyse for the following matrices:- - Surface River Water. - Ground Water - Treated Sewage Effluent - Trade to Control Waters - Acid rain. Required limit of detection for the instrument:- ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Sell2Wales | | Latest notice | https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/search/search_switch.aspx?ID=144986 | | Notice type | OJEU - F3 - Contract Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 4 Oct 2024 | | Submission deadline | 4 Nov 2024 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 4 Oct 2024 | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £270,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Cancelled | | Lots status | Cancelled | | Awards status | Unsuccessful | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | NATURAL RESOURCES WALES | | Locality | CARDIFF | | Post town | Cardiff | | Postcode | CF24 0TP | | Country | Wales | | ITL 1 | TLL Wales | | ITL 2 | TLL5 South East Wales | | ITL 3 | TLL52 Cardiff and Vale of Glamorgan | | Local authority | Cardiff | | Electoral ward | Cathays | | Westminster constituency | Cardiff South and Penarth | | Delivery location | TLL18 Swansea | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 38 - Laboratory, optical and precision equipments (excl. glasses) ### Codes - 38430000 - Detection and analysis apparatus ## Release History - 4 Oct 2024 at 00:00 - Tender - OJEU - F2 - Contract Notice - https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/search/search_switch.aspx?ID=144986 - 4 Oct 2024 at 00:00 - Award - OJEU - F3 - Contract Award Notice - https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/search/search_switch.aspx?ID=144986 ## Documents - https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=OCT492134 Particle Size Analyser & Auto-Titrator Machine - Natural Resources Wales Analytical Services (NRWAS) are looking purchase one Particle Size Analyser & one Auto-Titrator Machine as part of their asset replacement programme for 2024/2025.
