The contract is valued at £140,000 and will commence on 1 December 2021, running until 31 March 2026.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses focused on environmental services, particularly those specialising in air quality monitoring and measurement. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to apply, as they may have the agility and specialised expertise required for such contracts. Companies with capabilities to provide 24/7 air quality monitoring and sampling services would be especially well-suited to compete, enabling them to support public health initiatives during major incidents. ## Notice The AQC service was established in 2009 to assess and monitor incidents generating large volumes of airborne emissions which may pose a threat to public health or sensitive features of the environment. The service was formed in response to the Buncefield Oil Depot explosion and fire of December 2005. The primary aim of the service is to quickly bring together experts at the time of a relevant major incident to assess the emissions to air the risk that they pose to people and the environment and to give advice to incident commanders, health practitioners and the public. The key element of the service is the Air Quality Cell (AQC) which is a virtual team of relevant technical experts from the Environment Agency (EA), Public Health England (PHE) and the Met Office (MO) whose primary role is public health risk assessment. To inform the AQC's assessment of the public health risk posed by emissions from relevant major incidents, the AQC may require air quality data and samples to be obtained on a 24/7/365 response basis. To achieve this, on behalf of the AQC service, the EA lets a contract for a supplier to provide a 24/7/365 air quality monitoring and sampling service to support the AQC when convened.
