Particular Matter Analyser Contract

Tender description

The Environment Agency (referred to from now as the Agency) wishes to let contract(s) to provide new Particulate Matter expansion analysers for PM2.5, and of replacement of a limited number of PM10 instruments for the Automatic Urban and Rural Network "AURN" of National Air Quality sites. Lot 1: We are looking to purchase PM2.5 analysers that will be operational until 2040. The uncertainty requirements will need to be fit for purpose for an annual ambient concentration target value of 10ug/m3. Therefore, the instruments to be procured will have to be showing that they can operate in the UK pollution climate to the current 30ug/m3 pseudo daily limit value, and the procurement specification may seek to test performance at a lower daily limit value. If you have an instrument that has or will soon have MCERTS for UK particulate Matter for PM2.5 please get in touch with Defra Group Commercial around opportunities for co-locating instruments against reference methods in the UK prior to the possible opportunity in Spring 2023.
