Previously Ocean Biogeochemistry and Ecosystems (OBE) purchased one of these 10 channel optodes to see if the device can meet the requirements for the LOCATE project. After 4 months of test it has been decided to purchase 3 more system to use with the incubation devices being built by Ocean Technology and Engineering Group (OTEG) National Oceanography Centre (NOC). OTEG have been commissioned by OBE to build three complete incubation system looking at three distinct incubations - respiration, photolysis and primary production using oxygen as a proxy. In order to make these measurements each incubation needs to be carried out in triplicates and oxygen levels need to be monitored every 30-60 min for a 2 week period. To make the required level of Oxygen measurements a 10 channel system is required. A single optode system would not be fit for purpose since the experiments would them require 24 hour attention for 2 week on end. This is the only product on the market with 10 optodes per unit. The optodes will be used in the OTEG designed incubation units to meet the needs of the LOCATE project. NOC need a minimum of a 10 channel as we have 3 types of incubations and each incubation is in triplicates, and blanks will have to be measured once a day The negotiated procedure without prior publication may be used for public works contracts, public supply contracts and public service contracts in any of the following cases:- where the works, supplies or services can be supplied only by a particular economic operator for any of the following reasons:- - competition is absent for technical reasons, Read full description ## CPV classification Sensors Source Contracts Finder (UK) [View official notice](https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/notice/43fc7f9c-8306-4c73-8606-b48403e59a3b) Never miss a tender like this again Get AI summaries, deadline alerts and a bid pipeline for tenders matched to your business.
