Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council has initiated the procurement process for the project titled "FEW1050 - UoL Research Agreement Air Quality Grant 2020", which falls under the environmental services category. The procurement was initiated through an open tendering method and is currently in the award stage, having concluded on 30th June 2021. The project, with a total contract value of £99,600, aims to enhance local air quality over an 18-month period, starting from 1st July 2021 and ending on 30th September 2022. The work involves collaboration with the University of Leicester, focusing on analysing air quality data and understanding pollution sources in specified areas of Leicester.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in environmental consulting, data analysis, and pollution control services. Companies with expertise in air quality monitoring and environmental behaviour change initiatives will be particularly well-suited to compete for future contracts under this programme. As the project expands, there may also be potential collaborations with SMEs that specialise in sustainable practices and innovations aimed at improving urban air quality.

Notice Title

FEW1050 - UoL Research Agreement Air Quality Grant 2020

Notice Description

LEICESTER City Council has been awarded PS249,600 of air quality grant to help make further improvements to local air quality. The Defra air quality grant will be used to establish a pilot project over an 18-month period which will focus on behaviour change in a specific area of the city. In a continuation of previous joint working with the University of Leicester on Exposure to Air Quality Dependent on Transport Mode, UoL have outlined how they can achieve our goal of reducing air pollution in the defined location of the project by completing two areas of work: 1. Investigation into wood burning sources of PM2.5 * Biomass burning is a source of atmospheric PM2.5. Levoglucosan generated through biomass burning can be used to calculate wood burning fraction of PM2.5. * Using filters placed in two or more locations, the contribution of wood burning to atmospheric aerosol can be identified. 2. Conducting detailed analysis of AQ monitor and map data and supporting traffic and wood burning fraction data, developing data-based public engagement strategies Due to previous joint working, where this project builds on work completed together from 2019/20 - 2020/21, together with time constraints between being awarded the funding and starting the project, the best course of action would be to secure services of UoL and to apply for the waiver. Without this the project will not be able to be successfully delivered which in turn is likely to negatively impact outcomes of our future bids for Defra grants.
