Air Quality Monitoring Sensor Network

The London Borough of Hounslow Climate Emergency and Environmental Strategy team is

looking to procure equipment, servicing, maintenance support and data management

services to establish a new network of ‘low-cost’ automatic air quality sensors throughout

the borough

The Climate Emergency and Environmental Strategy Team is responsible for delivery and

reporting of the council’s Clean Air for All Programme which includes the Air Quality Action

Plan and associated Climate Emergency Action Plan. Reliable, high quality monitoring data is

key to our ambitions and this new network will supplement an existing network of automatic

reference sites and nitrogen dioxide diffusion tube monitoring.

The provider will supply equipment capable of monitoring pollutants including, but not

limited to, nitrogen dioxide and particulate matter. This equipment may be provided on a

hire/lease basis, with an option to purchase the equipment at the end of the specified

contract period. The provider will offer technical support and expertise pertaining to the

management, servicing and maintenance of equipment, identification of faults and

independent audits as required, as well as any necessary consumables.

Additionally, the provider will provide data monitoring and management services to the

council including the collection, processing (including quality assurance and quality

control), ratification and storage of data from air quality monitors. They will also

publish/disseminate the data such that it is accessible to council officers and to members of

the public, as regular reports and as raw datasets.
