Laser system:
An 193nm UV excimer laser ablation system for ablation of silicate, phosphate, oxide and carbonate minerals to make trace element and isotope ratio measurements by split-stream coupling the laser system to a multi-collector inductively-coupled plasma mass spectrometer and a collision cell “triple quad” inductively-coupled plasma mass spectrometer. Ideally it would have an integrated LIBS detector and the ability to pair LIBS and LA-ICPMS analyses.
We require a 193 nm, short pulse (<7 ns) excimer laser system, capable of delivering a variable sized, homogeneous beam to produce reproducible, sharp-sided ablation pits in a range of matrices including: silicate, phosphate, carbonate and oxide minerals.
A two-volume sample chamber is required to allow efficient transfer of ablated material from samples of a range of sizes to the mass spectrometer(s) with rapid wash out to allow for efficient compositional imaging.
The ablation system will come with automated control of laser functions, x-y-z positioning of sample and carrier gas flows. The system will include high quality imaging of the sample to be ablated, and be capable of making 2D and 3D chemical images.
The system will be technically assessed against the Mandatory and Desirables Requirements. In overall scope our requirements include:
size and quality of the ablated pit, with emphasis on the smallest diameter of well-formed pits
depth of laser focus, allowing reproducible ablation of material on rough surfaces across a long traverse
two-volume sample chamber
reproducibility and robustness of stage positioning and correlation with reference images
reproducibility of trace element concentrations and isotope ratios across the sample cell
rapid computer-controlled switching between different spot sizes including x/y/angle shutter for making and rotating rectangles
speed and efficiency of sample wash out
quality of sample imaging optics
ease of use
small and reproducible laser induced elemental and isotopic fractionation
good pulse to pulse energy stability
capability of efficiently and reproducibly ablating a range of natural materials, including: silicate minerals including zircon, phosphates including monazite and apatite; oxides including cassiterite; carbonates including calcite
LIBS capability
2D/3D chemical mapping of sample sections via raster and drill-down
We wish be able to integrate the sample image with an independent sample map (for example obtained by secondary electron imaging). We also require the laser to generate independent triggering and synchronisation signals. The instrument is to be compatible with operation in conjunction with an Agilent 8800 Triple Quad and a Nu Plasma 1 multicollector ICPMSs. The system should be able to simultaneously trigger these instruments.
Key Requirements
A 193 nm Excimer laser capable of delivering a variable sized, homogeneous beam to produce reproducible, sharp-sided ablation pits in a range of matrices including: silicate, phosphate, carbonate and oxide minerals.
Automated control of laser functions, x-y-z positioning of sample and carrier gas flows, with sample imaging and a two-volume ablation chamber.
System must generate independent triggering and synchronisation signals, as frequently as each laser pulse.
Laser pulse length <7ns.
Two-volume sample chamber, capable of holding large diameter samples
Integrated mass flow controller(s) for carrier gas (He) (and ideally additional gas (N2))
User friendly software capable of running predefined spots automatically and unattended.

reviewDetails:
The University of St Andrews will incorporate a minimum of 10 calendar day standstill period at the point of information on the award of the contract being communicated to tenderers. This period allows unsuccessful tenderers to seek further debriefing from the contracting authority before the contract is entered into. Applicants have 2 working days from the notification of the award decision to request additional debriefing and that information has to be provided a minimum of 3 working days before the expiry of the standstill period. Such additional information should be requested from The University of St Andrews.
If an appeal regarding the award of contract has not been successfully resolved The Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2012 provide for aggrieved parties who have been harmed or are at risk of harm by a breach of the rule to take action in the Sheriff Court or Court of Session.
The anticipated review body in such cases would be:
Dundee Sheriff Court
6 West Bell Street
Dundee
DD1 9AD
Telephone: +44 1382 229 961
Anyone bringing court proceedings against the University of St Andrews must inform the University of St Andrews in advance of the alleged breach and its intention to bring proceedings. Any such action must be brought within 15 days of the date on which a decision is sent to them or published to challenge that decision.
Proceedings seeking an ineffectiveness order must be brought within 30 days of the publication of the contract award notice in the OJEU, or 30 days from the date of a decision letter to all tenderers concerned, and any candidates concerned, containing a summary of the reason for the recipient being unsuccessful, otherwise 6 months from the date of entering into the contract or concluding the framework agreement.
Where a contract has not been entered into the Court may, by interim order, suspend the procurement procedure. The court may also set aside a decision or actions taken by the University or order it to amend and document; and/or award damages. However, by express requirement the court may decide not to grant an interim order when the negative consequences of such an order are likely to outweigh the benefits, having regard to a number of considerations.
If the contract has been entered into the Court may, depending on the nature of the breach: make an ineffectiveness order; impose a financial penalty; shorten the duration of the contract; make any other order considered appropriate to address the consequences of ineffectiveness or shortening the duration or the contract; award damages.

The River Severn Partnership Advanced Wireless Innovation Region (RSPAWIR) aims to encourage the adoption of advanced wireless technologies by businesses and organisations in the catchment area of the River Severn.
Hartpury University has been awarded funding by the RSPAWIR to deliver a Roadshow programme capable of demonstrating a variety of wireless Agri-tech use cases in a range of locations throughout the River Severn Catchment area, principally at local agricultural shows across Gloucestershire, Herefordshire, Monmouthshire, Powys, Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin, Warwickshire and Worcestershire.
In order to facilitate this, a Mobile Connectivity Facility is required which can utilise satellite backhaul wherever it is located and can provide various forms of connectivity to devices (procured separately) that demonstrate a range of applications.
While not on the road, and primarily beyond September 2024, this facility will be located at Hartpury University's Digital Innovation Farm where it should be capable of connecting to the fixed broadband service and providing wireless connectivity to a wide variety of devices on the farm.
There is an extremely tight timescale for the project to become operational and consequently, Hartpury University is keen to receive bids from suppliers who are either able to supply the facility out-right, in as short a timeframe as possible or, where lead times may be relatively long, to loan equipment of equivalent specification in advance of providing a new facility.

The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service requires the execution of Asbestos Medicals in respect of all of its operational staff.  Firefighters are classed as ‘licensed workers’ under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 (CAR 12). This means they are required, by law, to undergo medical surveillance with a Health and Safety Executive (HSE) appointed doctor, every three years.
This will require the delivery of circa 6000 operational employees on a rolling three-year programme (i.e. 2000 medicals per year carrying out seven medicals per day).  As such, the Service intends to implement a Framework Agreement involving all HSE Registered Doctors who provide a compliant response to the Service’s Statement of Requirements.

description: Bidders should provide discount off price list for other flood warning related systems or products upgrades as and when available that may be purchased under this framework.

description:
1.There are approximately 1,530 culvert inlets and other land drainage assets identified across Caerphilly County Borough Council area, of which approximately 238 are included on the Severe Weather Culvert (SWC) Register maintained by the Lead Local Flood Authority (LLFA). Approximately 46 of these have been identified as high priority assets. The first 6 sites will need to be completed by the end of this current financial year.
2.The majority of these high priority assets are in the form of culvert inlets with debris or security inlet screens of varying age, design and condition. A smaller number would be in the form of high capacity highway drainage inlets, gullies or similar.
3. The LLFA would like to implement a network of remote monitoring and telemetry systems, with an initial focus on the 46 high priority assets, such that monitoring can be carried out on a more regular basis and in a more timely manner whilst also enabling efficiency savings and reductions in carbon associated with officers travelling to multiple and often remote areas of the County.
4. The LLFA also carry out a number of improvement schemes on a continual basis, for which supporting evidence in relation to flood risk, frequency and severity of rainfall patterns and stream flow is required.
5. When flooding does occur, the LLFA has a statutory obligation to carry out Flood Investigation Reports (FIRs) under Section 19 of the Flood and Water Management Act (2010) for which data on the severity of individual or sequential storm events is also important.
6. The LLFA are therefore looking to include rain gauges and stream flow gauges at strategically important locations across the Borough in order to improve the data acquisition and evidence base for improvement schemes and FIRs. This may also include for temporary installations or relocation of systems as schemes are delivered and / or new scheme locations identified.
7. With an increasing focus and awareness on water quality, the LLFA have also identified a future need to monitor certain key outfalls in relation to water quality indicators, including but not necessarily limited to Suspended Solids and Turbidity, pH, Temperature, Heavy Metals, Nutrients (predominantly Phosphorus and Nitrogen) and Oil and Hydrocarbons.
8. The LLFA has previously had remote monitoring and telemetry equipment installed on 3 sites, which has now reached or is reaching the end of its life and will be replaced under this tender.
9. This tender is therefore intended to allow for:
a)A progressive increase in sensors, including an allowance for CCTV where appropriate, across 46 sites with a potential to expand to further sites up to a maximum of 238 should resources and funding be available.
b)Data logging and communication systems, including an allowance for data export and / or storage and early warning or alarm systems.
c)Online system for monitoring of remote stations.
d)Rain Gauges or weather stations, with an initial expectation of 3 sites, but potential to expand to a maximum of 10 locations
e)Flow meters for streams, open channels and pipes, with an initial expectation for 3 sites, but with potential to expand to a maximum of 46 locations or to enable temporary systems that can be re-located and re-used according to particular needs.
f)Water quality monitoring systems. Whilst no specific need has been identified at present, there is a potential need for up to a maximum of 46locations.
g)Survey of site locations
h)Installation and commissioning of systems.
i)Ongoing support and maintenance provision. Additional information: Framework may be used for Welsh Government Funded projects that are granted to CCBC

description:
Thames Water has planned for 570km to be delivered during AMP8  (with a further 1,000km in AMP9). The intention is to split this between water quality driven mains rehab (12km), burst driven mains rehab (108km) and whole DMA replacement (380km). This framework is intended to compliment the existing framework by providing supplementary support in addressing the evolving demands of the current framework in the next AMP and going forward.
The aim of the AMP8 Distribution Mains Renewal Programme is to replace the pipework (excluding new polyethylene) within the worst performing DMAs so that the amount of leakage in each of those areas is reduced.
The business drivers for the schemes are:
•	Network resilience
•	Leakage reduction
•	Reduce risk of mains failure and customers interruptions
•	Improving C-Mex measure
The objective of the Distribution Mains Renewal Programme is the structural renewal of targeted water distribution mains and all associated apparatus in the network to reduce bursts and leakage.
Renewal of the water mains network shall include but not be limited to:
•	Optimisation, structural replacement or relining of distribution water mains within DMAs and bounded by district meters and the District Boundary Valves.
•	Structural replacement of all service connections from the distribution mains to customer boundaries, including installation of a suitable boundary box.
•	Replacement of all apparatus connected to the network including valves, hydrants, disinfection points, air valves, etc.
•	Securing abandoned mains by cutting and capping.  Removing surface covers, marker posts and plates of abandoned washouts, hydrants, and valves etc. so that only covers relating to live apparatus remain.

If a tenderer does not agree with the credit rating it has been given by Creditsafe it can provide supporting evidence to demonstrate its current position and this will be taken into account when the financial standing is being assessed.
