## Summary

The Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs has completed a procurement process for project management services aimed at relocating the Harwell air quality monitoring station to Chilbolton Observatory. This tender falls under the construction services category, with a total contract value of £43,175. The procurement was conducted using an open procedure, with the contract period commencing on 17th August 2015 and concluding on 31st March 2016. The tender was officially awarded on 3rd August 2015, following the submission deadline which was set for 17th July 2015. The project is located in the South East region of the United Kingdom.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses engaged in project management and construction services, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations. Companies specialising in environmental monitoring, construction logistics, and relocation services would also be well-positioned to compete for similar contracts in the future, capitalising on the government's focus on sustainability and compliance with environmental regulations.

## Notice

The Harwell Monitoring site hosts 11 air quality monitoring networks which provide data in compliance with the AQ Directive 2008/50/EC, the 4th Daughter Directive Directive 2004/107/EC and the EMEP monitoring programme under the Convention on Long-range Transboundary Air Pollution (CLRTAP). The site is one of two sites that house a very high number of co-located networks (termed as 'super sites').
