This procurement falls under the education category and is located in Edinburgh, United Kingdom. The process is at the tender stage, with bids due by 3rd March 2020. The estimated value of the contract is £100,000, and the procurement method is an open procedure, allowing all interested suppliers to participate. Bidders are required to submit electronically via the designated tender platform. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses in the engineering and environmental technology sectors, particularly those with expertise in atmospheric monitoring and remote sensing technologies. Companies that can demonstrate technical qualifications, alongside maintaining a minimum annual turnover of £200,000, would be well-positioned to compete for this contract. The successful bidder will also have the potential for future business as there may be an option to extend the contract for an additional three years, fostering long-term partnerships in this important field of research. ## Notice Supply, installation and maintenance of three MAX-DOAS 2D instruments. ### Lot Information Lot 1 The University (The Buyer) invites competitive tenders for supply, installation and technical services in relation to MAXDOAS Instrument x 3. The Field Spectroscopy Facility has a budget to acquire three spectroscopic, remote sensing instruments to measure the slant column densities of a number of atmospheric pollutants over a mega-city urban area. The primary aim is to take slant column density measurements of the trace gas nitrogen dioxide (NO2), with simultaneous measurements of the trace gases formaldehyde (HCHO) and ozone (O3) by the same instrument. The instruments are to be used as part of a network, consisting of three nodes, with each node hosting one of the three instruments. The nodes, and therefore the instruments, will be situated on the rooftops of buildings within the selected urban area. The campaign will last for one year initially, with a further three years planned, with measurements taken continuously and autonomously by the instrument throughout this period. Data from the instrument will be evaluated locally and autonomously, with users accessing data remotely. To take spectroscopic measurements of the vertical column distribution of NO2, with simultaneous measurements of other trace gas species, the Multi Axis Differential Optical Spectroscopy (MAX-DOAS) technique has been identified as proving the most suitable for the research requirements stipulated. Therefore, the Field Spectroscopy Facility seeks to purchase three MAX-DOAS instruments, all of the same model, to fulfil the research goals of the project described. Renewal: Option to extend for an additional 3 years. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=FEB379332 | | Notice type | PCS Notice - Website Contract 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 | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 3 Feb 2020 | | Submission deadline | 3 Mar 2020 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £100,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Active | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | UNIVERSITY OF EDINBURGH | | Locality | EDINBURGH | | Post town | Edinburgh | | Postcode | EH1 1HT | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM1 East Central Scotland | | ITL 3 | TLM13 City of Edinburgh | | Local authority | City of Edinburgh | | Electoral ward | City Centre | | Westminster constituency | Edinburgh East and Musselburgh | | Delivery location | TLM75 City of Edinburgh | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 33 - Medical equipments, pharmaceuticals and personal care products - 38 - Laboratory, optical and precision equipments (excl. glasses) ### Codes - 33114000 - Spectroscopy devices - 38344000 - Pollution-monitoring devices ## Release History - 3 Feb 2020 at 00:00 - Tender - PCS Notice - Website Contract Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=FEB379332 ## Documents - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=FEB379332 MaxDOAS Instruments - Supply, installation and maintenance of three MAX-DOAS 2D instruments. ## Notice URLs - http:// - http://www.ed.ac.uk/schools-departments/procurement/supplying - http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2015/30/contents/enacted - http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2010/493/contents/made - http://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/info/InfoCentre.aspx?ID=2343 - https://api.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/v1/Notice?id=ocds-r6ebe6-0000613023 - https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/HTML/?uri=CELEX:32014L0024&from=EN - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2010/15/contents - https://www.publictendersscotland.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk - https://www.publictendersscotland.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/esop/pts-host/public/pts/web/login.html ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
