Coverage: 59 active published awards; 23 bid reports (which may be per lot). Supplier values exclude multi-supplier awards, frameworks and DPS, and use GBP only. They are published award values, not payments. Published-to-award variance compares single-lot, single-award, single-supplier GBP procedures with explicitly non-framework/non-DPS status; increases remain in the average. Unpublished data stays unknown. Awarded suppliers are winners, not all bidders.

    Multicomponent quantum cascade laser analyser with ≥ 1 Hz data acquisition rate that allows the simultaneous measurement of carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), carbon monoxide (CO), ammonia (NH3), nitrogen monoxide (NO), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), sulphur dioxide (SO2) with the following amount fractions ranges and one sigma (1σ) precisions: Carbon dioxide (amount fraction range: 0 – 5000 µmol mol-1; precision 25 nmol mol-1), methane (amount fraction range: 0 – 30 µmol mol-1; precision 0.22 nmol mol-1), nitrous oxide (amount fraction range: 0 – 10 µmol mol-1; precision 0.1 nmol mol-1), carbon monoxide (amount fraction range: 0 – 10 µmol mol-1; precision 0.01 nmol mol-1), ammonia (amount fraction range: 0 – 10 µmol mol-1; precision 0.5 nmol mol-1), nitrogen monoxide (amount fraction range: 0 – 10 µmol mol-1; precision 1 % or 1 nmol mol-1, whichever is greater), nitrogen dioxide (amount fraction range: 0 – 10 µmol mol-1; precision 1 % or 1 nmol mol-1, whichever is greater) and sulphur dioxide (amount fraction range: 0 – 10 µmol mol-1; precision 1 % or 1 nmol mol-1, whichever is greater). The instrument shall have a flow rate of 0.5 – 1.5 slpm, a leak rate of ≤ 10¯⁹ mbar xl/s and response time of < 2 minutes. It shall be able to operate under environmental conditions of ambient temperature: 15⁰C to 30⁰C and ambient humidity: 30-80% RH without condensing. The wetted materials shall be corrosion resistance preferable SS 316/316L. A gas connection of ¼” or 6mm Swagelok is required with an inlet pressure of 1 – 5 bar absolute. The instrument shall have the following connectivity: 100-1000 Base-T Ethernet, USB 2.0 or better, serial RS232/485, Modbus TCP and an isolated 4-20 mA or 0-10 Vdc analogue output. Power consumption ideally should < 500 W and with a total weight of < 50 kg. The analyser shall be CE/UKCA certificated with a minimum of 12-month warranty.

Procedure rationaleMiro Analytical AG is the only vendor that can provide an analytical solution that enables the simultaneous measurement of all the major greenhouse gases (CO2, CH4, N2O and CO) and air quality pollutants (NO, NO2, SO2 and NH3) with the required high precision and broad amount fraction ranges that are required. Unique features include: 1. The ability to measure all these compounds simultaneously due to a unique dual colour laser system. 2. The achieved precisions with this analyser match or exceed other optical spectrometers that are typically measuring one or two compounds. 3. The range of amount fractions that are possible to measure exceed those typical of other optical spectrometers that are measuring one or two compounds.
