## Summary

The University of Birmingham is seeking suppliers for the Contract for the Supply of an Ambient Monitoring System and accessories. This procurement falls under the category of laboratory, optical, and precision equipment, with a total value of £201,255. The tender period ended on 23 June 2021, with the contract subsequently awarded on 23 June 2021, covering a delivery timeframe from 28 June 2021 to 3 September 2021. The project aims to enhance air pollution monitoring across different locations in Birmingham, London, and Manchester as part of the NERC-funded Air Quality Supersite Triplets initiative.

This contract presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in environmental monitoring systems, particularly those involved in the supply of laboratory and precision equipment. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in air quality technology, along with suppliers capable of providing advanced monitoring solutions, would be well-suited to explore similar tenders. Engaging in such procurement could lead to increased visibility and establishment in the public sector, leveraging cutting-edge research and technology to benefit atmospheric science initiatives.

## Notice

Air Quality Supersite Triplets (UK-AQST) is a NERC funded national facility, and has been funded by NERC capital fund to provide access to two mobile air quality laboratories for UK atmospheric science community. The new air quality laboratories will be paired with one of the existing supersites in Birmingham, London or Manchester, to provide a first-ever monitoring of detailed air pollution composition at three different types of sites, e.g., roadside, urban, and rural (upwind) locations. As part of the newly funded UK-AQST, we wish to acquire one online XRF ambient multi- metal monitoring system and one Fidas, exactly the same as in the existing NERC-funded air quality supersite, for each mobile laboratory.
