The Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew ('RBG Kew') does not currently have the ability to perform total carbon and nitrogen analysis in house. Recently, research at Kew has moved into areas where there is increasing demand for such measurements from soil, peat, plant and fungal samples. RBG Kew is therefore seeking to acquire a base elemental analysis system capable of at least total carbon and total and nitrogen (CN) measurement by combustion analysis to meet current needs. For future-proofing, this base system should also be capable of sulphur and hydrogen analyses and preferably be upgradable in the future to measure oxygen, total organic carbon and total inorganic carbon.

Though considerable improvements have been made in the last few years, RBG Kew currently has a significant defect liability that requires action. The extent of the backlog and a method of identifying the most urgent works was drawn-up in 2018 via the completion of a site wide elemental condition survey and risk assessment. This piece of work of has been built-on and aligned with RBG Kew's Sustainability and Energy Plans, which are targeting a carbon positive estate by 2030, to create a new five-year programme of work across the two estates.
This programme consists of infrastructure improvement, refurbishment, and conservation projects. Though not all the projects within the programme relate to listed or protected assets, conservation knowledge and design experience is required to ensure the projects are developed in a sensitive way, respectful of RBG Kew's status as a world Heritage Site.
