Please note we are not looking to install diffusion tubes or chemiluminescent analysers (or similar). Instead, we are looking to install the small digital air quality sensors that provide a real-time feed of data with a display of the results in real-time. The aim of the project is twofold: - To develop a network of Realtime sensors in schools - Make direct use of the sensors by raising awareness of air quality through an educational resource pack and wider public engagement. There are approximately 340 primary schools that could potentially be targeted through the project. It is yet to be decided if all the schools, or only a proportion of the schools will be included in the project when tendered. The scale of the school sensor project procurement exercise will then be based on the insight gained through this market sounding exercise. Where a school is selected to be the recipient of a sensor, it is anticipated the project will consist of:- ### At least one sensor (per school) - • monitoring for Nitrogen Dioxide and / or Particulate (PM2.5) • Wi-fi or mobile enabled • Web Platform to display the data • API to feed the data to the council platform(s) • Educational Resource Pack\* This market sounding exercise provides the opportunity for potential providers to let the Council know: • The full range of schemes that could be implemented in schools. • What views you have on the issues faced in delivering such a project and how we can implement learning from similar projects that have been developed in other schools Registration on In-Tend is free. The system is secure and access to the clarifications will only be made available to those employees of the Council and / or their authorised advisers in respect of this soft market sounding request.
