This procurement falls under the category of research and development services and is located in London, England. The current procurement stage is active, with a tender period that concludes on 1st December 2017, and the contract is expected to commence on 11th December 2017, running until 31st March 2018. The procurement method employed is an open procedure, with a total budget of £16,667. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in environmental consultancy, risk assessment, and climate adaptation strategies. Given the nature of the research focused on floodplain developments, organisations with expertise in climate change impacts, urban planning, and resilience building would be particularly well-suited to compete. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, as the contract aims to foster innovative solutions in managing climate-related risks. ## Notice The ASC has a statutory duty to report to Parliament with an independent assessment of the UK Government's progress in implementing its National Adaptation Programme. This programme, published in July 2013, sets out the Government's objectives and policies for adaptation primarily in England, addressing the risks and opportunities identified by the UK Climate Change Risk Assessment (CCRA), first published in January 2012. The ASC published an Evidence Report to inform the second CCRA in July 2016, with the key findings subsequently presented by the government to Parliament in January 2017. In 2015, the ASC produced its first statutory assessment of the National Adaptation Programme, followed by a second assessment in June 2017. These reports consider what actions are being taken to adapt to the current and future impacts of climate change across a number of sectors, and how vulnerability to climate hazards is changing over time. The 2017 report highlighted that whilst National Planning Policy steers development away from flood risk areas, development in areas with more than a 1% annual chance of river and coastal flooding has increased and there is the potential for 90,000 new homes to be built between 2015 and 2020 in these areas. The Environment Agency is a statutory consultee on planning applications in areas at risk of river and coastal flooding. According to the Environment Agency guidelines, measures should be in place to manage the risk to these developments, including measures to ensure that developments are "resilient and resistant" to river and coastal flooding. The number of planning applications approved despite EA objections remains low. However, it is not known if the Environment Agency is consulted on all the planning applications it ought to be, and whether the planning application specifications regarding fluvial and coastal flooding are subsequently always implemented on the ground. ** Please see Specification ** Additional information: Bids should be sent in time in time for receipt by 5pm on 1ST December 2017 ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/874e30cc-2f78-47d6-8d9c-6defd7631831 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 13 Nov 2017 | | Submission deadline | 1 Dec 2017 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 11 Dec 2017 - 31 Mar 2018 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £16,667 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | THE COMMITTEE ON CLIMATE CHANGE | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South West London | | Postcode | SW1W 8NR | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI33 Kensington & Chelsea and Hammersmith & Fulham | | Local authority | Kensington and Chelsea | | Electoral ward | Royal Hospital | | Westminster constituency | Chelsea and Fulham | | Delivery location | TLI London | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ### Codes - 73000000 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ## Release History - 13 Nov 2017 at 09:35 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/874e30cc-2f78-47d6-8d9c-6defd7631831 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/874e30cc-2f78-47d6-8d9c-6defd7631831 13th November 2017 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/862225a1-30ec-4106-af0e-7186c7963bfb ITT - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/de10528e-d504-4741-b6dc-bb122cc12f80 Specification - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/1391edf1-a833-47b8-903a-dbfcbd62e9a7 T&C's ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
