What the notice says
The Council wishes to purchase twenty (20) Air Quality Sensors. The Sensors are to be deployed across the City of Leicester to measure and monitor air quality at various hotspots that have potential poor air quality. The requirement under this specification will allow the Council to be informed of where the Council should focus its initiatives and assess the effectiveness of its existing air quality monitoring work
NOTE: Due to a system issue outside the Council's control, the UK6 Contract Award
Notice could not be published. Following consultation with the Find a Tender Service
(FTS) support team, this notice is being submitted retrospectively. The issue arose
because the UK4 Tender Notice was published as an above-threshold procurement,
whereas the final awarded value was below threshold. As a result, the system was unable
to process the UK6 notice correctly. The delay in publication was due to this system issue
and not any action or omission by the Council
