Summary of the contracting process

The Environment Agency has completed the procurement process for the "UK Urban NO2 Network (UUNN)" project, classified under Air Quality Management (CPV: 90731100). The project aims to provide additional NO2 monitoring data for inclusion within the national UK compliance assessment. The procurement, an open procedure above the threshold, was finalised on 23rd December 2024, with the contract starting on 13th January 2025 and ending on 31st March 2030. The awarded contract is worth £2,036,758.77, and the services will cover multiple regions including the British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, the rest of the world, and the United Kingdom.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in environmental and air quality management services to contribute to a critical national project. While this particular contract was awarded to Ricardo-AEA Limited, it demonstrates high-value potential for large-scale companies operating in the environmental sector. Businesses capable of providing advanced air quality monitoring and compliance solutions would be well-positioned to compete for similar future opportunities initiated by government agencies like the Environment Agency.
