Summary of the contracting process

Perth & Kinross Council commissioned a detailed air quality assessment of Perth’s Air Quality Management Area (AQMA). The study is intended to determine whether nitrogen dioxide (NO2) can safely be removed from the AQMA order. This is a specialist environmental consultancy service covering air quality assessment and associated monitoring work, delivered in Perth. The requirement falls within air quality management services (CPV 90731100). The council is the buying organisation and the work relates specifically to the management of air quality in Perth, rather than general environmental monitoring across the wider council area. The procurement formed part of the council’s Air Quality Monitoring and Associated Services requirement.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Perth & Kinross Council used an open procedure, but awarded this requirement directly to the sole supplier on Lot 2 of the Air Quality Monitoring and Associated Services Framework Agreement. Air Quality Consultants was selected as supplier. The award covered one lot and attracted one bid, submitted electronically. The contract value is £3,470 including the published currency of GBP. The contract was signed on 1 June 2026 and is recorded as active. Evaluation was conducted through the framework route, with the available outcome showing a single supplier selected for the detailed assessment of Perth’s AQMA and the potential revocation of NO2 controls.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for specialist air quality consultancy supporting a local authority’s statutory air quality management decisions. Suppliers well placed for comparable work would need practical expertise in assessing nitrogen dioxide, interpreting monitoring data and producing evidence robust enough to support changes to an AQMA order. Experience of air quality monitoring and associated services would be directly relevant. The route used is also commercially important: the council placed the work through a specific lot of its existing air quality framework and selected a sole supplier. Businesses seeking future work with this buyer would therefore benefit from understanding the framework’s scope, demonstrating capability in detailed assessments and monitoring, and maintaining capacity to deliver focused studies for local authority air quality programmes.
