The Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames and the London Borough of Sutton Councils have merged services to create a Shared Environment Service. The provision of local site operator services will, therefore, be required to cover the automated air quality monitoring sites across both boroughs. In order to review and assess air quality as part of the duties under London Local Air Quality Management, a number of air quality monitoring stations are operated throughout both boroughs. There is a requirement for attending the sites routinely once per fortnight for the purpose of carrying out general Quality Assurance / Quality Control duties (with additional ad hoc visits as required). The contract will need to represent value for money for the Council while offering a high quality service to both the client and the data management provider. The operation of an air quality monitoring network is a measure that is included in both of the boroughs' Air Quality Action Plans. The collection of reliable data helps to inform the effectiveness of the other measures that are being implemented to improve air quality across the boroughs and the data is included within the statutorily required Annual Status Report", "status": "active", "items": [ { "id": "1", "additionalClassifications": [ { "scheme": "CPV", "id": "90000000", "description": "Sewage, refuse, cleaning and environmental services" } ], "deliveryAddresses": [ { "region": "UK", "country": "GB", "countryName": "United Kingdom" } ], "relatedLot": "1" } ], "value": { "amountGross": 108000, "amount": 90000, "currency": "GBP" }, "procurementMethod": "open", "procurementMethodDetails": "Below threshold - open competition", "mainProcurementCategory": "services", "aboveThreshold": false, "submissionMethodDetails": "www.proactis.com", "submissionTerms": { "electronicSubmissionPolicy": "allowed" }, "tenderPeriod": { "endDate": "2026-05-15T12:00:00+01:00" }, "enquiryPeriod": { "endDate": "2026-05-15T12:00:00+01:00" }, "lots": [ { "id": "1", "status": "active", "value": { "amountGross": 108000, "amount": 90000, "currency": "GBP" }, "awardCriteria": { "criteria": [ { "type": "price", "name": "Price", "description": "Total contract value for the whole of the contract term", "numbers": [ { "number": 30, "weight": "percentageExact" } ] }, { "type": "quality", "name": "Quality", "description": "Completion of the 5 method statements", "numbers": [ { "number": 70, "weight": "percentageExact" } ] } ] }, "selectionCriteria": { "criteria": [ { "description": "The Council wishes to determine whether the wage rates to be paid to those employees of the winning bidder who will be engaged in the provision of the services and which have been allowed for within the winning bid, will meet or exceed the current published Living Wage rates.
