Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Environment Food & Rural Affairs (Defra) has completed its procurement process for a project titled "Direct Measurement of Landfill Methane Emissions" under the industry category of Design and execution of research and development (CPV 73300000). The procurement method used was selective, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement. The project scope included designing and implementing a robust, cost-effective survey approach to measure site-specific methane emissions from operational and recently closed landfill sites. This contract, valued at £299,166, was awarded to NPL Management Limited. Key dates in the procurement process included the award date on 3 April 2023, with the contract period spanning from 20 March 2023 to 31 January 2025. The project is headquartered in Defra’s office in London (SW1P 3HX) but covers delivery addresses across the United Kingdom and other regions.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses involved in environmental monitoring and mitigation, especially small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs). The project’s need for the design of sampling approaches, seasonal emission studies, and development of regulatory methodologies presents growth potential for firms with expertise in environmental science, data analysis, and regulatory compliance. Companies capable of delivering innovative and reliable measurement techniques could find new avenues in the environmental and regulatory sectors, both in the UK and internationally.

Notice Title

Direct Measurement of Landfill Methane Emissions

Notice Description

A need has emerged to consolidate work in the space of measuring fugitive methane emissions from site-specific landfill. Defra has sought an external contractor to design and deliver a robust and cost-effective survey approach as a step towards enabling the quantification of annual site-specific methane emissions from landfill for both operational and recently closed sites. The aim of this is to ultimately, replace modelled estimates of landfill methane emissions in the UK National Atmospheric Emissions Inventory (NAEI) with measurement evidence on observed data, and to provide procedures that could be applied to regulatory settings. Specifically, the supplier must deliver the following four objectives: 1. Design sampling approach, regimes, and data analysis suitable for a robust seasonal study of landfill methane emissions at operational and closed sites and which can be utilised as the basis for development of standard methodologies. 2. Implement a four-season study of landfill methane emissions using an operational, and recently closed site (for non-hazardous biodegradable waste) utilising the developed methodologies and data analysis. 3. Provide statistical analysis, critical methodology analysis and recommendations of approaches, valid for use for NAEI recording purposes and regulatory purposes. 4. Creation of Standard Operating Procedure for sampling and analysis through development and utilisation of method protocols outlining any evidence gaps that will need to be addressed to finalise these for use operationally (within a future proof of concept study). The project is compromised of three separate work packages and the supplier will be expected to set out their approach to each. * Work Package 1 (WP1): Design of Sampling Regimes o WP1.1 Consolidate knowledge base o WP1.2 Design of sampling regimes * Work Package 2 (WP2): Implementation of Season Study o WP2.1 Implementation o WP2.2 Initial set up and confirmation of viability o WP2.3 Seasonal Study * Work Package 3 (WP3): Project Governance and Management * Additional Work Packages: If during the lifetime of the contract it is identified that additional National Inventory specific work packages are required and they are within scope of the original requirement, this may be instructed through the variation procedure outlined in the contract.
