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.
