## Summary

The Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (DEFRA) recently awarded a contract titled "Consulting to support delivery of pEPR Local Authority Costs Model". This project falls under the Research and Development services category and is vital for implementing the new packaging extended producer responsibility scheme. The procurement process utilised a selective method, specifically calling off from a framework agreement. The contract commenced on 1st December 2024 and will conclude on 31st March 2025.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in consultancy services within the waste management sector. The consultancy support required aligns with areas of expertise in local authority waste management and business-critical model development. While DEFRA has already selected Ricardo-AEA Limited for this contract, similar future tenders might suit large consultancy firms with experience in governmental or environmental projects.
