UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

National Highways Limited procured air quality monitoring and maintenance services for its national monitoring network. The requirement covers 15 sites and combines local site operation, remote calibration checks, planned maintenance and analyser servicing every six months, plus emergency call-outs to monitoring locations. This is an ongoing specialist environmental monitoring service rather than the supply of standalone equipment. The main work category is air quality management services (CPV 90731100). National Highways is the public-sector buyer, based in Birmingham, and the network is national in scope. The requirement would suit organisations able to operate dispersed monitoring sites, maintain air-quality analysers and provide responsive engineering support when equipment or sites need urgent attention.

The procurement has been completed and the contract is active. National Highways awarded the single lot directly, below the applicable threshold and without competition, to CURA TERRAE AIR LIMITED. The contract was signed on 9 September 2026, runs from 10 September 2026 to 31 March 2027, and is valued at £90,526 excluding VAT, or £108,631.20 including VAT. The contract title is National Air Quality Management 2026-2027. The requirement was evaluated through a direct award rather than an open or selective tender, so there was no competitive bid process. The awarded supplier is a Sheffield-based SME. The procurement covers the complete 15-site service and maintenance requirement rather than separately awarded lots.

For a supplier assessing this buyer’s future requirements, the contract demonstrates demand for a specialist, end-to-end air quality monitoring service across a dispersed national network. A credible competitor would need practical experience operating monitoring sites, checking analyser calibration remotely, carrying out planned servicing and maintenance at six-month intervals, and responding to emergency call-outs. The work calls for technicians who can manage equipment reliability in the field, diagnose faults and provide a dependable service across multiple locations. Organisations of SME scale can be relevant, as the selected supplier is an SME. Strong preparation would therefore involve evidence of comparable air-quality monitoring contracts, service-management capacity across numerous sites, responsive mobilisation and the technical capability to maintain analysers as well as perform routine local operations.
