The procurement stage is currently active, with a tender period ending on August 23, 2022, and an award period starting on August 24, 2022. The project aims to compile a database of air quality monitoring activity in Wales, operate a website with air quality information, facilitate the Welsh Air Quality Forum (WAQF) activities, and produce technical reports to inform air quality policy and management. The procurement method is an open procedure, and the total contract value signed on December 15, 2022, amounts to £597,039.16 GBP. This tender offers opportunities for businesses involved in environmental services, data analytics, and technical report writing to compete for a contract focused on air quality management in Wales. Businesses specialising in air quality monitoring technology, database development, and website operation may find this tender particularly relevant. The Welsh Government, as the buying organisation, aims to create a comprehensive air quality evidence base to support the development of effective policies and measures to enhance air quality for the benefit of communities and the environment in Wales. ## Notice The Welsh Government (WG) has responsibility for managing and improving air quality in Wales. This includes the implementation of suitable policies and measures that work towards improving the air pollution climate within Wales to minimise, as far as possible, impacts of atmospheric pollutants upon the health of people and the environment in Wales. In addition such measures, aim to work towards full compliance with statutory requirements for a range of air pollutants set at the European and national levels. A key aspect of this management role is for the Welsh Government to compile a database of air quality monitoring activity in Wales and to be able to interrogate this to draw out key findings, messages and statistics. This database constitutes a key evidence base from which fit-for-purpose air quality policies and measures can be developed. The primary role for the database has been to ratify, collate and analyse air quality monitoring data from all of the 22 local authority jurisdictions in Wales. The database is also linked to a public website (www.welshairquality.co.uk) through which the air quality monitoring data and other information are disseminated publicly. However, recent years the purpose of the database has evolved to provide an interactive support function for the Welsh Air Quality Forum (WAQF) in order that they can fulfil their objectives. It is now proposed to set up a further contract for 2 years with potential of 2x2 year extensions, to develop and operate the database. The aims of this project are: - To compile a database of air quality monitoring activity in Wales and to be able to interrogate this to draw out key findings, messages and statistics; - To develop and operate a website containing comprehensive information about air quality in Wales; - To facilitate the WAQF activities and fulfil Welsh Minister obligations for reporting and publicising information; - To produce technical reports to inform air quality policy and management in Wales. ### Lot Information Lot 1 The Welsh Government (WG) has responsibility for managing and improving air quality in Wales.
