## Summary

The procurement process titled "Award of Purchase of a Liquid Chromatography Tandem Mass Spectrometry System 2019" is initiated by the Scottish Government, located in Edinburgh. This project belongs to the goods industry category, particularly focusing on mass spectrometry equipment. The procurement is currently at the Award stage, with the contract signed on 4th March 2020. The total value of the awarded contract is £322,541.86, which has been allocated to Agilent Technologies LDA UK Ltd for the supply of the requested system.

Participation in such tenders not only fosters business growth but also enhances industry presence and gets a foothold in public sector contracts.

## Notice

SASA requires a Liquid Chromatography-tandem-Mass Spectrometry (LC-MSMS) system for the quantitative and qualitative determination of multiple-pesticide and other chemical residues that may remain in or on various foodstuffs. The system must be capable of the separation, detection, identification and quantitation of hundreds of different chemicals present at various concentrations in a wide range of sample matrices, ideally in a single (multiple sample-batch) experiment i.e. simultaneous screen/confirmation measurements incorporating polarity-switching.
