Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process led by the Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra), located at Seacole Building, 2 Marsham Street, London, has reached the award stage. The tender titled "Assessing whether countries willing to fulfil the ambitions of UNEA 5/14" relates to the services category, specifically environmental impact assessments excluding construction. This process aimed to support efforts following the fifth session of the UN Environment Assembly's resolution on plastic pollution by conducting data analysis. The contract, procured through a direct method below threshold without competition, was awarded to SystemIQ Limited, based in London, for the period from 3rd March 2025 to 4th April 2025 with a total value of £72,000, of which £60,000 was the net amount.

Companies capable of navigating complex international negotiations and possessing expertise in sustainability and plastic pollution management would be well-suited for similar projects. This tender illustrates a targeted procurement approach that could benefit businesses looking to establish or expand their foothold in collaborations addressing environmentally critical challenges at an international level, especially those with capabilities in providing bespoke analytical insights.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Assessing whether countries willing to fulfil the ambitions of UNEA 5/14

Notice Description

UN Environment Assembly Resolution 5/14 established the Intergovernmental Negotiating Committee to develop a legally binding instrument on plastic pollution (INC). The resolution states that the resulting treaty should be based on a comprehensive approach that addresses the full life cycle of plastics and could include provisions to promote the sustainable production and consumption of plastics. Following the fifth negotiation meeting of the Intergovernmental Negotiating Committee (INC), no agreement had been reached. This resulted in an additional meeting being added to the timeline and Defra had requested further data analysis to assist.
