The industry category for this tender is Environmental Engineering Consultancy Services, and the project will be conducted in the United Kingdom.

This competitive quotation process involves assessing improvement condition reports submitted by waste incinerator operators, with a contract valued at approximately £50,000 GBP.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in environmental engineering consultancy, specifically those experienced in evaluating emission reduction trials.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Technical support for the systematic assessment of operator submissions for improvement conditions (ICs) on a national basis

Notice Description

The Environment Agency is looking for a supplier who can carry out the systematic assessment of improvement condition reports submitted by waste incinerator operators regarding trials they have performed to reduce emissions of oxides of nitrogen (NOx) from their plants. The improvement conditions require the operators to carry out trials on their selective non-catalytic reduction (SNCR) systems to see what levels of NOx can be achieved and the corresponding impact on ammonia emissions, along with other cross-media effects. The successful supplier will need to evaluate around 20-25 improvement condition reports and produce summary information, conclusions and recommendations, building on similar work carried out for other reports previously. This is a national project with a start date of 1 October 2024 and finish date of 15 March 2025.See the Request for Quotation document for more detail. Additional information: To apply for this opportunity you must submit your quotation meeting the requirements detailed in the Request for Quotation (RFQ) attached. Your response must be sent to ben.freeman@environment-agency.gov.uk by 23:59 on 13/09/24. If you have any clarification questions linked to this opportunity or the procurement process please submit these via email to ben.freeman@environment-agency.gov.uk. Please note that, unless commercially sensitive, both the question and the response will be circulated to all tenderers.
