This equipment may be provided on a hire/lease basis, with an option to purchase the equipment at the end of the specified contract period. The provider will offer technical support and expertise pertaining to the management, servicing and maintenance of equipment, identification of faults and independent audits as required, as well as any necessary consumables.
Additionally, the provider will provide data monitoring and management services to the council including the collection, processing (including quality assurance and quality control), ratification and storage of data from air quality monitors. They will also publish/disseminate the data such that it is accessible to council officers and to members of the public, as regular reports and as raw datasets.
