Summary of the contracting process

Glasgow City Council is procuring a services framework for specialist air quality monitoring maintenance in Glasgow. The requirement covers keeping the city’s air quality monitoring stations operating, maintaining existing air monitoring instrumentation and associated data-handling hardware, and supplying, delivering and installing new air monitoring equipment and stations. It also includes maintenance of air conditioning units and related heating, ventilation and air-conditioning systems. The procurement is divided into three lots covering instrumentation and data-handling maintenance, air-conditioning maintenance, and new equipment supply and installation. Suppliers may bid for any or all lots. The main service category is air quality monitoring and management services (CPV 90731100).

The process reached tender: Glasgow City Council invited offers through an open procedure, with electronic submission in English. The tender deadline was 14 August 2026 at 12:00 UTC, with bid opening at the same time; evaluation was scheduled to start then. This is a framework agreement for a contract expected to run from September 2026 to September 2028, with a council option to extend for up to 12 months. Each of the three lots has an expected 720-day contract period. Bids may cover multiple lots, and alternative bids are not allowed. Community benefits form part of the requirement, with suppliers’ proposals expected to provide at least 100 Community Benefit Points; the applicable points thresholds vary according to spend.

Relevant capability includes servicing and fault-finding air monitoring instrumentation, maintaining associated data-handling hardware, and supporting the operation of monitoring networks. Suppliers with heating, ventilation and air-conditioning expertise may be suited to the second lot, while equipment manufacturers, distributors and installation contractors may fit the supply, delivery and installation lot. Businesses should be able to provide new monitoring equipment and stations where required, or combine these capabilities through a wider team. The requirement also suits organisations able to deliver structured community benefits and demonstrate capacity to support public-sector services across Glasgow.
