Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Air Quality Modelling Service" was conducted by Hampshire County Council, a local authority located in Winchester, England. This service falls under the industry category of surveying services, with specific focus on air quality modelling. The procurement method applied was a competitive quotation, within the limited procurement framework for values below threshold levels. The procurement cycle has reached the award stage, with the contract awarded on 17 November 2025 to Ricardo-AEA Ltd. The contract period is set from 1 December 2025 to 1 December 2026, and the project is geographically located in the South East region of the United Kingdom. The tender period ended on 27 October 2025.

This tender presents a notable opportunity for businesses involved in or aspiring to expand into the surveying industry, especially those providing environmental or air quality services. Given the competitive quotation method, this procurement process was particularly suited for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) capable of delivering bespoke quality services under budget constraints. The successful engagement of a large organisation like Ricardo-AEA Ltd suggests that the contract requires robust capabilities, thus providing a growth platform not just for SMEs but potentially for larger corporations with established expertise in air quality modelling.
