II.1.4) Short description
Leicester City Council (LCC) has been committed to make Leicester one of the best places to live, work and visit. To deliver this promise an air quality action plan ‘Healthier Air for Leicester’ (AQAP) was devised and adopted in 2015, https://www.leicester.gov.uk/media/180653/air-quality-action-plan.pdf
This plan is focused on particulate matter of 10 microns or less (PM10) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2) measures. This procurement would go some way to identify and formulate new measures which would address our particulate matter levels of 2,5 microns or less (PM2.5). The project requires the procurement of 8 packages under separate lots to address the different elements of the work to be delivered as detailed in section 3 services requirements.
