LA2639C – EPA – RFT for the Supply of twenty-eight (28) Continuous Certified Inorganic Gas Analysers

The Contracting Authority invites tenders for the Supply, Delivery, Installation and Maintenance of Continuous Certified Inorganic Gas Analysers for the National ambient air monitoring network. A requirement for twenty-eight (28) analysers, to be replaced across EPA sites, over a period of four years). Please reference Appendix A which lists the location and addresses of each of the EPA sites. Ambient air quality instrumentation will be sited at locations around the Republic of Ireland in accordance with the requirements of the CAFE directive.
