The procurement process was carried out through a limited Award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. The contract was signed on 14th March 2024. The procurement aimed to acquire equipment used by the Environment Agency to manage their fleet of trailers more efficiently, reducing costs and maintaining consistency in instrumentation. This procurement opportunity for the "Air Monitoring System" contract can be beneficial for businesses specializing in environmental monitoring equipment. The contract, awarded to WE CARE 4 AIR LIMITED, presents an opportunity for growth for SMEs in the field of air quality monitoring technology. Businesses offering air quality analysers and related services are well-suited to compete and expand their market presence through providing innovative solutions for environmental monitoring projects. ## Notice Air Monitoring System ### Lot Information Lot 1 The Environmental Hazards & Emergency Department (EHE) has no current mobile capability to monitor for volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the urban environment. The capability of being able to monitor for the benzene toluene ethyl-benzene and xylene (BTEX) suite of VOCs using gas chromatography which provides a surrogate marker from petroleum-based sources. The airToxic benzene toluene ethyl-benzene and xylene (BTEX) single column GC analyser utilises a nitrogen carrier gas (via a nitrogen generator) to enable analysis of up to 8 VOC compounds including monitoring emissions to air, land and water Monitoring Certification Scheme (MCERTs) determination of BTEX. The airmoChromaVOC is a gas chromatograph - photo-ionisation detector (CG-PID) instrument designed for analysis of "light" hydrocarbons. It is used for the measurement of volatile hydrocarbons in the range of C2 to C6 i.e. from ethane through 1,3-Butadiene up to Benzene (and other C6 compounds). Options: The Authority may extend the Contract for a period of up to forty-eight (48) months by giving not less than ten (10) Working Days' notice in writing to the Supplier prior to the Expiry Date. The terms and conditions of the Contract shall apply throughout any such extended period. ### Procurement Information The Environment Agency (EA) routinely use this range of instruments within their fleet. The Radiation, Chemicals and Environmental Hazards (RCE) team intend for the EA to manage their fleet of trailers alongside their own fleet to reduce costs. As such, it is necessary to procure the same equipment as the EA to avoid a mixed fleet being created and increased complexity in the ongoing maintenance and parts for the units as well as increased costs for the management of the units. It will also allow instruments which break or need servicing to be swapped out for the same instrument during protracted monitoring campaigns to minimise data loss. This is in accordance with Reg 32 (2)(b)(ii) of the Public Contract Regulations 2015. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/008824-2024 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Limited | | Procurement method details | Award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | SME | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 19 Mar 2024 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 14 Mar 2024 | | 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 | Complete | | Lots status | Cancelled | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | SECRETARY OF STATE FOR HEALTH AND SOCIAL CARE ACTING AS PART OF THE CROWN THROUGH UK HEALTH SECURITY AGENCY | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | East London | | Postcode | E14 4PU | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI4 Inner London - East | | ITL 3 | TLI42 Tower Hamlets | | Local authority | Tower Hamlets | | Electoral ward | Canary Wharf | | Westminster constituency | Poplar and Limehouse | | Delivery location | TLD45 Mid Lancashire | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | WE CARE 4 AIR | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 38 - Laboratory, optical and precision equipments (excl. glasses) ### Codes - 38434000 - Analysers ## Release History - 19 Mar 2024 at 13:11 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/008824-2024 ## Notice URLs - https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/uk-health-security-agency - https://www.judiciary.uk/courts-and-tribunals/high-court/ - https://www.wecare4air.com ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
