IoT EM27/SUN Series Spectrometers
Authority: University Of Edinburgh (Education)
What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionThe EM27/SUN Series represents mobile analysers dedicated to atmospheric studies with outstanding performance. It is used by universities and research institutions, for example in urban sites to determine the impact of human activities, e.g., on greenhouse gas concentrations, but also in remote sites to investigate natural gas sources such as bush fires or gases emitted from melting permafrost or swamps. By positioning several EM27/SUN around such potential sources of greenhouse gases, their source strength can be detected and even be quantified.

- Why no open competition
The works, supplies or services can be provided only by a particular economic operator due to absence of competition for technical reasons
- Published justification
The five Bruker EM27/SUN units are being purchased for use in the GEMINI+Edinburgh project, using the same scientific approach, applied at the city level (City of Edinburgh), for determining Green House Gas Emissions, as has been utilised in the GEMINI UK-wide project from which this project stems. It is therefore critical that the same underlying highly specialised scientific instrument is used. There is therefore no applicable alternative, and Bruker are the sole supplier of this scientific instrument.
