AFBI - SAFSD Supply and Delivery of Flux Towers and N2O Equipment

The Agri-Food and Biosciences Institute

Procurement identifier (OCID): ocds-h6vhtk-06061b

Description

The Agri-Food and Biosciences Institute (AFBI) require the provision of six Eddy Covariance (EC) flux towers equipped with CO2 and CH4 analysers to specifically address DAERA strategic objectives associated with the Green Growth Strategy and Net Zero Carbon initiative. In addition, AFBI require the provision of two compact single-laser trace gas analysers to facilitate the monitoring of N2O, an equally potent GHG, at two of the six towers.

This Contract agreement will comprise of 3 Lots, details of which are set out below;

Lot 1 - Supply and Delivery of Six (6) Eddy Covariance (EC) Flux Tower systems, with each EC Flux Tower system consisting of the full Biomet and greenhouse gases (GHGs) sensor infrastructure (hardware and software) required for the correct measurement and calculation of terrestrial fluxes of the greenhouse gases (GHGs) carbon dioxide (CO2), using the EC method.

Lot 2 - Supply and Delivery of Six (6) methane (CH4) analysers designed specifically for EC flux systems for terrestrial environments.

Lot 3 - Supply and Delivery of Two (2) Quantum Cascade Laser (QCL) System trace gas analysers to monitor nitrous oxide (N2O).

Each Lot will be evaluated and awarded independently of each other. There are no restrictions on the number of lots a Supplier can bid for or be awarded. Suppliers must ensure that if they are bidding for multiple Lots that they have the capacity to deliver in the event that they are successful in more than one Lot.
