The total value of the contract is £1,750,000, with the contract period running from 1 September 2018 to 31 March 2021.

## Notice

The Environment Agency is responsible for managing the Hydrocarbons monitoring network for the UK. Hydrocarbons are monitored in the UK through two sub-networks which were established in 1992 and 2002, but are now a single contract. The main functions of the networks are to provide information about: - compliance with the EU Ambient Air Quality Directive; - the long-term trends of hydrocarbons in mainly urban areas; - the quality of the air that individuals breathe; and - the accuracy of the volatile organic compounds emission inventory and subsequent ozone modelling.
