Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Croydon initiated a procurement process for "Air Quality Monitoring Equipment" under the open competition method, with a focus on below-threshold procurement. The process reached the awarding and contract stages in 2025. It involves pollution-monitoring devices with delivery targeted within the UKI62 region. The tender process began on 3rd September 2025 and was actively soliciting bids until 22nd September 2025, after which an award was made on 28th October 2025. The contract period spans from 5th December 2025 to 4th December 2030. The Council, identified as a public authority at sub-central government level, represents the buyer while the awarded supplier is Cura Terrae Air Limited, a Sheffield-based SME.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in pollution and air quality management sectors. SMEs with expertise in developing or supplying pollution-monitoring technology are particularly well-suited to benefit from such contracts. The open procurement method encourages broad participation, allowing businesses to compete based on criteria of quality and price. The role of the London Borough of Croydon as the contracting authority provides a stable and potentially recurrent partnership opportunity within the public sector, promoting industrial growth and innovation in environmental monitoring solutions.
