Summary of the contracting process

The WWF-UK (World Wide Fund for Nature) is currently conducting a tender for a consulting project titled "Carbon Sequestration in UK Agricultural Landscapes - Policy and Practice." This project falls within the environmental engineering consultancy sector, specifically aimed at the South East region of the United Kingdom. The procurement process is at the Tender stage, with proposals due by 6pm on 26th July 2021. The estimated value for this project ranges from £20,000 to £30,000, and the contract period will commence on 9th August 2021 and last until 12th November 2021. Interested parties should submit a method statement, project plan, and relevant experience as part of their proposals.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for consultants specialising in environmental engineering, agricultural sustainability, and carbon markets. Businesses with expertise in innovative carbon sequestration solutions, such as bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) or Biochar, would be particularly well-suited to compete. Additionally, small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary and community sector enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to apply, potentially allowing them to engage in impactful projects that align with corporate sustainability efforts and contribute to reducing the environmental impact of the food supply chain in the UK.

Notice Title

CARBON SEQUESTRATION IN UK AGRICULTURAL LANDSCAPES - POLICY AND PRACTICE

Notice Description

BACKGROUND In the context of a rapidly growing market for agri-carbon credits, the potential of farmers to tap into this market, and interest from food and drink retailers in using such mechanisms for offsetting/insetting carbon emissions through their supply chains, WWF is seeking to understand farm-level sequestration opportunities for agriculture in the UK, and how current carbon sequestration market mechanisms (both in the UK and elsewhere) could be applicable in a UK agriculture context. We also seek to further understand the detail behind proposed technological and innovative carbon sequestration solutions (such as BECCS and Biochar), regarding issues such as scientific rigour, credibility, feasibility, timescales, costs and environmental (and other) trade-offs. We are seeking an experienced consultant to help us develop this work which could serve as an initial externally sharable scoping document, and help inform our engagement with actors across the food sector as part of the aspiration of the WWF and Tesco partnership to halve the environmental impact of Britain's shopping basket by 2030. In particular, the WWF/Tesco Basket Metric has a specific objective on sequestration to "...increase the amount of agricultural land that is put into long-term carbon sequestration initiatives" . REPORTING TO: Responses and questions should be sent to Callum Weir, Sustainable Agriculture Specialist cweir@wwf.org.uk and Zoe Draisey, Water and Agriculture Policy Officer, zdraisey@wwf.org.uk. We recommend that proposals are limited to eight sides in length. In your proposal, please include the following: * A method statement to explain your proposed approach to carrying out the work. * A brief project plan, showing key milestones and any interdependencies. * Details about similar projects you have undertaken or your relevant experience in this field. * A fee proposal including resource allocations and charging rates for all individuals, and any third-party costs. * Confirmation that you would be to accept the WWF Standard Terms and Conditions as the basis for contracting. BUDGET RANGE: The budget for this work is between PS20-30,000 including VAT. Deadline for proposals: 26th July 2021 (6pm).
