Lambeth Air Quality Monitoring Stations

Tender description

Lambeth has a duty to monitor air quality in its area. To do so, Lambeth has three automated long-term continuous analysers located at: • Brixton Road (LB4) - a kerbside site installed in late 2003, which monitors NO2 & PM10. The authority is considering extending the monitoring at this site to include PM2.5. • Vauxhall Cross/Bondway Interchange (LB5) - originally a kerbside site in 2005, this site was reclassified as industrial. It monitors NO2, PM10 & SO2. The Vauxhall station will likely need to be moved as part of the Vauxhall Gyratory works in 2021 or 2022 • Streatham Green (LB6) - an urban background site commissioned in August 2009, which monitors NO2 & PM10. We are seeking a single supplier, who is ISO9001 approved, to provide the following services: a. Scheduled fortnightly Local Site Operation (LSO) calibration visits to all three monitoring stations. Ad hoc visits to carry out any additional calibration checks/BAM tape changes as required. b. 48-hour emergency callout cover and scheduled bi-annual service visits for the monitoring equipment at Brixton, Vauxhall and Streatham Green. c. At the Authority's discretion, installation of an MCERTS certified and Defra approved PM2.5 analyser at Brixton Road LB4. d. Fully comprehensive maintenance, support and repair of air conditioning services for the Brixton, Vauxhall and Streatham Green sites. e. Organisation and funding of the annual National Physical Laboratory (NPL) audit. f. Participation to quarterly meetings with the Authority and submission of monthly performance reports.
