Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (DEFRA) recently awarded a contract titled "Consulting to support delivery of pEPR Local Authority Costs Model". This project falls under the Research and Development services category and is vital for implementing the new packaging extended producer responsibility scheme. The procurement process utilised a selective method, specifically calling off from a framework agreement. The contract commenced on 1st December 2024 and will conclude on 31st March 2025. The consultancy service will be provided by Ricardo-AEA Limited, with DEFRA acting as the buying organisation. Key deadlines included the tender period ending on 14th November 2024, with the award announced on 28th November 2024. The main delivery locations include various regions such as the British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, and the United Kingdom.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in consultancy services within the waste management sector. The consultancy support required aligns with areas of expertise in local authority waste management and business-critical model development. While DEFRA has already selected Ricardo-AEA Limited for this contract, similar future tenders might suit large consultancy firms with experience in governmental or environmental projects. Companies aiming to grow in public sector contracts should monitor DEFRA's upcoming projects closely to leverage similar opportunities for strategic expansion.
