The Secretary of State has a statutory role to oversee local authority performance under the legislation and must report on progress annually in a statement to Parliament.

Local authorities (LAs) in the UK are legally required to review air quality in their areas and resolve breaches of air quality objectives under the Environment Act 1995 (as amended by Environment Act 2021).

The LAQM Support service is used to assist in the delivery of the department's statutory functions (details below) The Local Air Quality Management (LAQM) Support service exists to support that statutory function and provides technical support to 363 LAs across the UK, so that they can carry out their statutory responsibilities for local air quality management accurately and in accordance with regional policy.

Support is provided via a helpdesk, website, report submission portal and data dashboard.

Suppliers will require extensive expertise in air quality science, using monitoring equipment, interpreting data and air quality modelling to be able to advise local authorities effectively.

Extensive knowledge of local authorities and their requirements under LAQM Statutory Technical and Policy Guidance 2022, the Environment Act 1995 as amended by the Environment Act 2021, and the Clean Air Act 1993, as amended by the Environment Act 2021.
