## Summary

The procurement process titled "Toward an accurate estimate of wasted peat GHG emissions in England" is being undertaken by the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS). This public contract falls under the category of "Ground investigation services" and has an awarded value of £449,994. The procurement method utilised is an open procedure, with the contract period commencing on 1st May 2020 and concluding on 31st March 2023. The tender was completed following the end date of the tender period, which was 13th March 2020.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in environmental research and ground investigation services, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that are prepared to engage in advanced field measurement techniques for greenhouse gas emissions. Companies with expertise in ecological assessments, data collection, and analysis within the environmental sector may find this a suitable avenue to contribute to important sustainability efforts and expand their market presence.

## Notice

The project will provide updated research evidence on the net greenhouse gas emissions from soils described as "wasted peat" in England, that is to say soils which used to match the definition of peat (an organic soil layer greater than 40cm) but that no longer match this definition because of losses through intensive use. To develop these new emissions factors, the project will mainly fund the acquisition of new field measurements (soil survey and more intensive continuous measurements on a subset of sites, with techniques such as eddy-covariance or eddy accumulation). It will also fund a systematic review of evidences to integrate those results with the other evidence available by the end of the project.
