The Climate Change Committee (CCC), with the assistance of UK Shared Business Services Ltd (UKSBS), recently concluded the procurement process for the project "Projections of Climate Risks, Their Societal Impact and Cost, And the Cost and Effectiveness of Adaptation Measures for Heat in The Urban Built Environment" (tender reference BE24084). This project falls under the "Research and development services and related consultancy services" category and specifically targets environmental impact assessments not related to construction. The project aims to address heat risks in urban environments, anticipating growing urbanisation and the corresponding increase in heat impacts. The tender process transitioned from the tender stage, which closed on 15th May 2024, to the awarding stage on 17th July 2024, with the contract starting on 26th July 2024 and running through to 25th July 2025.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses engaged in environmental consultancy, particularly those specialising in climate risk assessment and urban planning. SMEs and voluntary community and social enterprises (VCSEs) are especially encouraged to take part, given their suitability for this type of contract. Engaging in this project allows firms to collaborate closely with decision-makers, contributing to impactful societal outcomes and positioning themselves as key players in the field of climate adaptation. Furthermore, the open procedure for this above-threshold procurement ensures a fair and competitive selection process, offering a pathway for businesses to expand their expertise and visibility in the public sector.

BE24084 - Projections of Climate Risks, Their Societal Impact and Cost, And the Cost and Effectiveness of Adaptation Measures for Heat in The Urban Built Environment

Notice Description

The final date and time for the submission of bids is Wednesday 15th May 2024 at 14:00. DO NOT apply directly to the buyer. All tender information MUST be submitted through the Jaggaer eSourcing Portal. Brief Description of Requirement UK Shared Business Services Limited (UK SBS) on behalf of the Climate Change Committee (CCC) invite you to this Request for Proposal for Projections of Climate Risks to Health and Health Services from Extreme Heat: Their Societal Impact and Cost, And the Cost and Effectiveness of Adaptation Measures. The UK Climate Change Act 2008 requires that every five years, the UK government must publish a Climate Change Risk Assessment (CCRA). The Fourth UK Climate Change Risk Assessment (CCRA4) Government Report is due to be published in January 2027. As part of CCRA4, the CCC will be developing a new output to complement the Technical Report as produced in previous CCRAs. This output - to be known as the 'Well-adapted UK report' (WA report) - will focus on the potential for key aspects of the UK adaptation challenge to reduce the climate risks threatening the achievement of key UK policy and societal outcomes and hence set out a vision for aspects of a well-adapted UK. This WA report will be informed by a set of commissioned, bespoke analysis projects, in-house CCC analysis and wider external evidence. The analysis will need to be developed collaboratively with decision makers and consider both risk and adaptation interventions as systemically as possible, while focusing on delivering social and economic analysis and evidence at appropriate spatial scales. This project will focus on heat risks to the urban environment. Urban environments and their occupants are likely to be at particular risk of future heat impacts. Urbanisation exacerbates the risk of overheating hazards through the urban heat islands effect, and increases exposure, due to increases in population densities and numbers of built environment assets.
