This procurement opportunity falls under the environmental impact assessment category for air pollution monitoring services. The engagement end date for expressing interest in the tender is 20th October 2023. The project aims to combine existing ammonia monitoring sites into a regional contract, requiring suppliers to provide data aligning with previous methodologies and contributing to national monitoring networks and conservation management plans. This tender presents an opportunity for suppliers specialising in environmental impact assessment and air pollution monitoring services to collaborate with The National Trust on a significant project in Northern Ireland. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations are encouraged to participate in the procurement process through the Proactis platform. Suppliers with experience in ALPHA samplers or equivalent technologies, data analysis for environmental monitoring, and collaboration with conservation management plans are well-suited to compete for this contract. The National Trust emphasises the importance of adhering to the specified tender deadline for expressing interest and participation in subsequent selection stages. ## Notice Under the Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs (DAERA) Environment Fund Strategic Strand, we are seeking to continue and enhance our ammonia monitoring programme within Northern Ireland. Since 2021, we have been carrying out monthly ammonia monitoring and conducted foliar analysis (vegetation sampling) once throughout the contract. Previously, we had 3 separate sites running ALPHA sampling ammonia monitoring projects. The aim is to determine the concentrations of ammonia in with air and in the vegetation. We have been awarded funding to combine these sites and add an additional one into a larger regional contract. We are seeking to test the market for a supplier to work with us on this project, using ALPHA samplers or equivalent, to produce results for the concentrations of ammonia in a format that can: 1. Align with the previous methodology that we have on site and provide data that can be compared to the previous projects. 2. Provide data that can be used on a national perspective, allowing comparison between NT sites, DAERA sites and other eNGOs. 3. Contribute data for the DAERA National Ammonia Monitoring Network, the UK National Ammonia Monitoring Network and the ROI National Ecosystems Monitoring network. 4. Feed into the ecosystem monitoring for Special Area of Conservation (SAC) Conservation Management Plans. If you express an interest a tender process will take place via Proactis. Please express your interest no later than midday on 20th October 2023 via Proactis Plaza. The Trust does not guarantee that any party responding to the expression of interest will be included in subsequent stages of the selection process. This expression of interest is available via the Proactis Plaza portal. https://supplierlive.proactisp2p.com/ Customer name - The National Trust ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ec4e471b-b685-433e-927d-668b6e5835d8 | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 6 Oct 2023 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 20 Oct 2023 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planning | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | THE NATIONAL TRUST FOR PLACES OF HISTORIC INTEREST OR NATURAL BEAUTY | | Locality | SWINDON | | Post town | Swindon | | Postcode | SN2 2NA | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK7 Gloucestershire and Wiltshire | | ITL 3 | TLK71 Swindon | | Local authority | Swindon | | Electoral ward | Mannington and Western | | Westminster constituency | Swindon South | | Delivery location | TLN Northern Ireland | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 90 - Sewage, refuse, cleaning and environmental services ### Codes - 90711000 - Environmental impact assessment other than for construction - 90731400 - Air pollution monitoring or measurement services ## Release History - 6 Oct 2023 at 15:23 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ec4e471b-b685-433e-927d-668b6e5835d8 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ec4e471b-b685-433e-927d-668b6e5835d8 6th October 2023 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - https://supplierlive.proactisp2p.com/ - https://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
