Provision of Operation & Management - UK Eutrophication & Acidification Network

The Environment Agency ('The Authority') on behalf of the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) and Devolved Administrations is seeking to procure a service provider to manage and operate the UK Eutrophication and Acidification Network, a network of air quality monitoring across the UK. The UKEAP network consists of four rural air pollution monitoring networks and operation of two UK European Monitoring and Evaluation Programme (EMEP) Supersites. The four networks are the; - Precipitation Network (Precip-Net) measuring rain composition across the UK; - National Ammonia Monitoring Network (NAMN), measuring ammonia concentrations across the UK; - Acid Gas and Aerosol Network (AGANet), measuring acid gas concentrations and inorganic aerosol (~PM4) composition; and - NO2 - Net network, measuring indicative NO2 concentrations.
