Artisanal and Small-Scale Gold Mining- MODULE B: Clean Analytical Laboratory

The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) invites qualified manufacturers and equipment integrators to submit quotations for the design, fabrication, structural integration, and preparation for export of a state-of-the-art modular, containerized clean analytical laboratory system (Module B: Clean Analytical Laboratory). This procurement is a core component of the GEF GOLD+: Advancing Formalization and Mercury-Free Gold in Suriname project. Engineered to operate under off-grid, tropical field conditions, this facility must feature a structurally isolated dual room layout comprising a high-dust "Dirty Room" and a climate controlled "Clean Room" capable of executing precise manual batch sample preparation, gravity recoverable gold (GRG) profiling, and pyrometallurgical flux-smelting without the use of mercury. Additionally, the system must be delivered with pre-installed mechanical, electrical, and pneumatic infrastructure to guarantee seamless, future "plug-and-play" integration of Phase 2 analytical chemistry systems (Atomic Absorption Spectrometer and Fire Assay).A meeting prior to the submission of proposals will be held (pre-bid conference):Time and time zone: 10:30 AM EDT (New York Time) / 11:30 AM SRT (Suriname Time)Date: 05 August 2026Venue: Microsoft Teams meetingJoin:https://teams.microsoft.com/meet/359941153969595?p=MOqeVZ16ZO1zLNz5M0Meeting ID: 359 941 153 969 595Passcode: uY39eq2U The focal point for the arrangement is: Regional Hub for LAC Procurement UnitE-mail: procurement.rblac.regionalhub@undp.orgAttendance is not mandatory; however, it is strongly recommended.The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) invites qualified manufacturers and equipment integrators to submit quotations for the turnkey engineering, procurement, fabrication, testing, and commissioning of a modular, containerized clean analytical and refining laboratory (Module B: Clean Analytical Laboratory).
