Tender description

Purchase of 1 gas chromatography high resolution accurate mass-mass spectrometer and 1 Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer. The system is an automated inductively coupled plasma torch ion source with a quadrupole mass analyser and detection system. The system should include a cell, placed between the ion optics and the analyser quadrupole, into which gases can be introduced to remove polyatomic species from the ion beam before they enter the mass analyser. The system must be capable of performing major, minor, and trace (ppt to percent) multi elemental analysis in both aqueous and non – aqueous media with high accuracy and precision for routine and R& D applications. The system is a high resolution accurate mass-mass spectrometer interfaced to a Gas Chromatography (GC) system to chromatographically separate the compounds of interest before identification in the mass spectrometer. The GC system needs to be capable of multidimensional chromatography (GC x GC) and the mass spectrometer should have a mass accuracy <10ppm and resolution >5000. One system is required.

About the buyer

Natural Resources Wales is a non-departmental public body, and buys through its own NRW Procurement team. Smaller purchases are awarded directly with a written quote, rising to tender as value increases. Tenders are advertised on Sell2Wales, with higher-value opportunities run through the Jaggaer eTenderWales portal. The largest requirements go out as legislative tenders once the highest threshold is passed. Framework agreements are available through the National Procurement Service, Crown Commercial Service and the Eastern Shires Purchasing Organisation. Contract managers and requestors across the organisation raise and manage their own purchases.

Procurement spend from central entities makes up 66% of overall UK public spend.

Over the past 5 years, most of Natural Resources Wales's contract awards have been in waste, cleaning and environmental services, agricultural and horticultural services and construction work.
