The project aims to monitor PFAS emissions from paper manufacturing to gather data for compliance with environmental regulations. The contract value is £92,549, and the contract period is from 3rd October 2022 to 24th February 2023. This tender provides an opportunity for businesses involved in pollution investigation services, particularly those experienced in monitoring emissions from industrial processes. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) interested in environmental compliance projects may find this tender suitable. The procurement method is an open procedure below the threshold, with a deadline for submissions set for 5th August 2022. ## Notice "PFAS have been used by pulp, paper, and paperboard facilities as an additive or coating to impart certain surfactant qualities to finished paper products. Some facilities have manufactured high-performance paper products, such as those requiring oil, grease, and/or moisture resistance, using additives mixed with the pulp before it is formed into paper. Other facilities apply coatings containing PFAS to the finished paper. There are significant gaps in our understanding of PFAS emissions from paper manufacturing with little or no data available on the type of PFAS present and the emissions to the environment. This project aims to commission a monitoring programme to establish the amount of PFAS emitted from wastewater and paper sludge from permitted paper mill sites, and aims to gather further information for Water Framework Directive (WFD) purposes and to assess compliance with restrictions. It is also aiming to gather information on the amounts or load of PFAS incoming to the mills carrying out paper recycling."
