Description of the procurement
A regional geochemical survey of soils, stream sediments and stream waters in
the border region of Ireland was recently completed by the Geological Survey of
Ireland (GSI) . Further stream water sampling at approximately 10,000 sites will
take place in the period 2016 – 2019.

trace and ultra-trace aqueous element concentrations by ICP-MS instrumentation
and (ii) for anions by ion chromatography (IC) and (iii) for non-purgeable organic
carbon (NPOC) by TIC/TOC analyser.
Tenderers who propose alternative methodologies to those specified are
reminded that the required specifications herein must form the basis of any
proposed technical methodology. Alternative and superior technologies may be
considered, and any deviation from the requirements set out here shall be
evaluated against the Award Criteria.
Tenderers should note that only compliant and qualifying tenders shall be
evaluated. The Qualification Criteria are set out in Part 3, Section 3.2 (pages
labelled 17–20 of this RFT) and the Award Criteria, including minimum required
scores, are set out in Part 3, Section 3.3 (pages labelled 20–23 of this RFT). Note
also the Tenderers’ Statement (Appendix 3) and Tenderers’ Aide-Memoire
(Appendix 5).
The absolute total number of samples is estimated and the final quantity will
depend, inter alia, on sample collection by a third party under a separate contract
and the availability of funding in 2017 and later years. It is estimated that 2,400
samples (±10%) will be available in 2016. A single sample price is required in the
pricing schedule. Some water samples are anticipated to be available for
immediate collection and start of works upon award of contract. Time is not of the
essence and the timing of sample availability is dependent on completion of the
separate sampling contract.
Tenderers must respond with a proposal for the entire works.
