In order to fulfil this objective, in an effective and efficient manner, SEPA's intention is to obtain services from one or a number of contractors to carry out audit monitoring at a number of sites throughout Scotland.SEPA wishes to carry out a programme of testing to measure the concentration of pollutants emitted into the environment. Sampling and analytical services are required for all tests.
