Tender description

The Joint Air Quality Unit (JAQU), has a requirement for an outsourced service to provide an accreditation scheme through the provision of technical advice. This is to allow suppliers to receive accreditation for their products so that they can be retrofitted to vehicles. This means vehicle operators can have confidence their vehicles will be recognised as compliant for Clean Air Zone (CAZ), Ultra Low Emissions Zone or Low Emissions Zone entry without charge, and local authorities implementing clean air policies can be confident in the performance of retrofitted vehicles.
