## Summary

Bureau Veritas UK Ltd is planning to procure the Provision of Local Site Operator (LSO) services for the Environmental Targets (Fine Particulate Matter, PM2.5) Network in England. This involves a tender process managed by the Bureau Veritas UK Ltd (acting as the Central Management and Coordination Unit) with an open procurement method. The procurement is categorized under "Technical services" (CPV code 71356000) and will support the Environmental Targets set by regulations in 2023. The contract is expected to run from 1 May 2025 to 31 July 2028, with a potential extension of up to 2 additional years. Key dates include the release of a future notice on 10 March 2025, and the budget allocation covers the period from 2025 to 2028, with an initial £20,000 per year.

This procurement presents significant business growth opportunities for Technical services providers, particularly for SMEs. Businesses with regional presence across England and expertise in environmental monitoring would be well-suited to compete, as the procurement seeks multiple providers to handle fine particulate matter (PM2.5) monitoring at various local air quality stations. Engaging in this tender allows companies to collaborate with key environmental agencies, contributing to important regulatory compliance efforts, and enhancing their market reputation in the environmental sector.

## Notice

Bureau Veritas UK Ltd has been appointed by the Environment Agency for the role of Central Management and Coordination Unit (CMCU) for the fine particulate (PM2.5) network in England. This network is an emerging network that aligns to the provisions of compliance measurements on concentrations of PM2.5 in ambient air as required under The Environmental Targets (Fine Particulate Matter (England) Regulations 2023 set through The Environment Act 2021. The Local Site Operator (LSO) function is a critical routine operational function that seeks to support CMCU in the achievement of data quality objectives for the data being collected. Organizations are invited to express an interest in participating in a forthcoming tender event being run by the CMCU. The duration of the contract is anticipated to be for up to an initial 3 years with the option to extend for a further 2 years. It is expected that multiple organizations will provide LSO functions across the network according to local geographic presence to the PM2.5 air quality station(s), this reducing the extent of impact on the environment through the generation of carbon emissions.
