Description

Birmingham City Council invited a quotation for Maintenance of Air Quality Monitoring Stations no later than 12:00 midday, on 15 November 2024.

Introduction
Birmingham City Council ('The Council) has a duty under the Environment Act 1995 to evaluate the quality of the air within its administrative area, having regards to the presence of certain pollutants and to establish strategies for their reduction should they be found to be above statutory limits.
The Council has declared an Air Quality Management Area for nitrogen dioxide and has introduced an Air Quality Action Plan to direct what steps the Council will take to reduce pollutant concentrations including the operation of a Clean Air Zone.
The Council uses chemiluminescent analysers to sample the air and determine the concentration of nitrogen dioxide, allowing for an almost real time understanding of air pollution at key sites. These instruments require maintenance at set durations to ensure they are both working correctly and to provide reassurance as to the accuracy of the data. Other instruments are also used to monitor other pollutants, these are specified in Appendix 1 and should be included in the quote.
The Council requires a supplier for the provision of maintenance services for THIRTEEN real time Air Quality Monitoring Stations. These are detailed in Appendix 1 and this should be referred to when preparing the quotation.
This contract will be for a period of 2 years commencing 1st February 2025 until 31st January 2027 with the option to extend a further 12 months subject to satisfactory performance.

Requirements/Specification
