Description

The Environment Agency (EA) (the ‘Authority’) is an executive non-departmental public body sponsored by DEFRA. The Authority is seeking information on the provision of automated laboratory colorimetric analysers capable of supporting environmental monitoring and accredited analytical testing. The technical requirement includes: - Automated analysis of nutrients, including ammonia, nitrite, orthophosphate, silicate and total oxidised nitrogen (TON). - Automated analysis of total and free cyanide in environmental samples. - Automated analysis of dissolved organic carbon (DOC). - Operation with a range of environmental sample types, including fresh waters, saline waters, effluents, leachates and other aqueous matrices. - High levels of automation, including unattended batch processing, automated dilution capability and integrated data handling software. - Compliance with defined analytical performance criteria, including limits of detection, precision, bias and quality assurance requirements to support UKAS-accredited laboratory operations. - Provision of associated software, data management, installation, commissioning, user training, warranty and technical support. - Capability to deliver either individual analyser solutions or a single integrated solution covering nutrients, cyanide and DOC analysis. The Authority is seeking information from the market to determine whether a supplier can provide a single solution for Nutrients, Cyanide (total and free), and Dissolved Organic Carbon (DOC) analysis. The volume of analysers required has not yet been finalised; however, the Authority estimates that up to eight (8) systems may be required over the term of any future contract. Please note: This notice is not a call for competition or a procurement exercise. It is issued solely for the purpose of preliminary market engagement and market research to help the Authority better understand the capabilities of the market.
