As part of the University’s on-going feasibility studies into potential development opportunities South of the M4, specialist input is now needed to assist the Commercial, Strategic Estates and Programme Management Teams in reviewing and developing those opportunities as they arise. This is likely to be a flexible role on a call off basis as part of a Core Team of key consultants under the Programme Management Office. Its aim being to rapidly mobilise support consultants as studies / workstreams arise. Works will vary from small standalone studies ending between RIBA Stage 0 and 2, to more detailed input needed to deliver simple site works, to larger commissions such as input into Local Plan Promotions and securing of Outline Planning consents. The chosen consultant will be expected to be able to service all commissions, regardless of scale, in a timely manner.

The University is looking to procure a plot-scale trials Combine Harvester which will be used by our School of Agricultural, Policy and Development, as part of research into crops. Our research focuses on combinable crops, from evaluation of different varieties and cultivars to investigating novel agronomic approaches for UK crops, improving their yields and resilience to changing climates.
Due to the research requirements, the Combine Harvester must have the functionality to calculate the harvest index for the combined crops, by accurately measuring the weight of both straw and chaff. The Header of the combine also needs to be available as 1.5m and 2.5m widths to accommodate harvesting operations on different plot sizes and crops.
Additional capabilities must also include:
• Side knives. Left and Right Hand.
• Straw chopper
• Integrated GPS/GNSS positioning system.
• Near-infrared (NIRS) quality sensor for GPS tagged grain quality measurements.

For the purchase of Centri GCxGC-TOF-MS system for the discovery, profiling, and screening of volatile organic compounds. This equipment has been selected for the ability to allow automated HiSorb immersive extraction. Samples can be stacked and run in sequence, with detachment of probes from the robot arm allowing for the next sample extraction to begin. The robot then recollects the probe and inserts into the platform. The system allows for any injected samples to be recollected onto thermal desorption tubes, facilitating multiple analyses of the same extract. The mass spectrometer features tandem ionisation capability, which allows for generation of mass spectra profiles at two different ionisation energies simultaneously. This allows for increased confidence in compound identification and facilitates structural elucidation and isotope ratios. The entire platform is operated with ChromSpace software, allowing for integrated control of Centri automated extraction, GC injection, flow modulation, flame ionisation detection quantification, mass spectrometer operation, data processing, and statistical analysis.
