Notice Information

Notice Title

Ammonia Monitoring in Northern Ireland

Notice Description

Under the Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs (DAERA) Environment Fund Strategic Strand, we are seeking to continue and enhance our ammonia monitoring programme within Northern Ireland. Since 2021, we have been carrying out monthly ammonia monitoring and conducted foliar analysis (vegetation sampling) once throughout the contract. Previously, we had 3 separate sites running ALPHA sampling ammonia monitoring projects. The aim is to determine the concentrations of ammonia in with air and in the vegetation. We have been awarded funding to combine these sites and add an additional one into a larger regional contract. We are seeking to test the market for a supplier to work with us on this project, using ALPHA samplers or equivalent, to produce results for the concentrations of ammonia in a format that can: 1. Align with the previous methodology that we have on site and provide data that can be compared to the previous projects. 2. Provide data that can be used on a national perspective, allowing comparison between NT sites, DAERA sites and other eNGOs. 3. Contribute data for the DAERA National Ammonia Monitoring Network, the UK National Ammonia Monitoring Network and the ROI National Ecosystems Monitoring network. 4. Feed into the ecosystem monitoring for Special Area of Conservation (SAC) Conservation Management Plans. If you express an interest a tender process will take place via Proactis. Please express your interest no later than midday on 20th October 2023 via Proactis Plaza. The Trust does not guarantee that any party responding to the expression of interest will be included in subsequent stages of the selection process. This expression of interest is available via the Proactis Plaza portal. https://supplierlive.proactisp2p.com/ Customer name - The National Trust
