## Summary

Defra (Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs) is inviting tenders for the UK Urban NO2 Network (UUNN) Re Tender 2024. This procurement, classified under air quality management (CPV code: 90731100), aims to provide additional nitrogen dioxide (NO2) monitoring data for inclusion in national UK compliance assessments. The network is currently operating at approximately 299 sites, focusing on areas where modelling has indicated exceedances of the annual mean NO2 limit value. The open procedure (above threshold) will accept submissions until 29 November 2024 at 12:00 PM, with the contract starting on 1 January 2025 and ending on 31 March 2030. The delivery addresses span across various locations, including British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, Rest of the World, and the United Kingdom.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in environmental monitoring and air quality management, specifically those capable of providing NO2 monitoring solutions. Given the project’s scope and the extensive deployment of monitoring sites, companies with expertise in environmental technology and data analytics are well-suited to participate. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to apply, as the procurement process is designed to be inclusive, promoting business growth within this vital industry sector. This tender not only offers potential long-term collaboration with a key governmental department but also contributes to improving environmental quality and public health.

## Notice

The procurement documents are available for unrestricted and full direct access, free of charge, at https://defra-family.force.com/s/Welcome Any questions, requests to participate or tender submissions must be submitted electronically via this portal. The UUNN was first established in January 2020 and has expanded since to respond to evidence needs and is currently operating at ~299 sites. The primary aim of the UUNN is the provision of additional NO2 monitoring data for inclusion within the national UK compliance assessment. Previously the national assessment of NO2 has comprised of a UK-wide automatic monitoring network; the Automatic Urban and Rural Network (AURN), and national scale modelling; the Pollution Climate Mapping (PCM) model. UUNN monitors were sited specifically to target areas where modelling had indicated an exceedance of the annual mean NO2 limit value, and where concentrations predicted by the PCM model and by local modelling completed by a relevant local authority were not in good agreeme
