The procurement process is currently in the Award stage, with the contract awarded to Ricardo-AEA Ltd for £7,975, effective from 3rd January 2021 to 30th November 2021. The initial tender period ended on 27th October 2020, and the award notice was published on 30th November 2020. This contract arises from a statutory requirement under the Environment Act 1995 for local authorities to monitor and assess air quality, especially in rapidly developing residential areas reliant on road transport. This tender presents growth opportunities for businesses specialising in environmental consulting, data management, and monitoring services. Companies with expertise in maintaining air quality monitoring systems, data analysis, and regulatory compliance would be particularly well-suited to compete in future tenders of this nature. Engaging with local authorities like South Cambridgeshire District Council can lead to valuable contracts that support sustainable development and contribute to public health initiatives. ## Notice It is a statutory requirement as a Local Authority to regularly review and assess air quality in our area under the Environment Act 1995. Local Air Quality Management (LAQM) is a statutory process by which we as a local authority monitor, assess and take action to improve local air quality (https://laqm.defra.gov.uk/). South Cambridgeshire District Council (SCDC) is a rural district undergoing a significant growth. Future developments are to be largely residential and reliant on road-based transport for travel and commuting to the city, London and the surrounding area. SCDC operates 3 automatic monitors with a combination of Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) and Particulate Matter (PM10 and/or PM2.5). The details of the existing three Monitoring Stations are as follows; * Site 1 - Impington Site, A14 Equipment: T200 NOx Analyser, BAM PM10 Analyser * Site 2 - Girton Site, Huntigdon Road Equipment: M200E NOx Analyser, BAM PM10 Analyser, BAM PM2.5 Analyser * Site 3 - Orchard Park, A14/Impington Equipment: T200 NOx Analyser, BAM PM10 Analyser, BAM PM2.5 Analyser The Council is seeking Consultants to provide a Data Management Program for the three monitoring systems as described above. These systems typically run 24/7 therefore, a concise data management and maintenance service is necessary to maximise the long-term performance of these equipment and their data capture rate. The data collected from these sites is available: * As part of the statutory annual 'Review and Assessment' report which is submitted to DEFRA providing progress on improving air quality * Provides evidence to support the development and actions agreed in the Air Quality Action Plan * It is available within the public domain on the Council's website for members of the public, consultants, developers and academics to access * Data is used to inform planning decisions and the development of planning policies.
