## Notice

The two documents cover ambient air monitoring with M17 covering ambient monitoring of particulates around waste management sites. The documents were last revised in 2011 (M8) and 2013 (M17) and have quickly become out of date due to changes in monitoring technologies and reducing costs. Given the similar subjects it makes sense to merge them, reducing our document library size and delivering cost savings. Additional information: To apply please respond to the attached Invitation to Quote and associated documents. Email your response to air.quality@environment-agency.gov.uk. Tenders to be received no later than 0900 on 17 November 2020. For further information please contact chris.lowe@environment-agency.gov.uk
