The industry category for this tender is Environmental Engineering Consultancy Services, and the project will be conducted in the United Kingdom. The procurement is currently in the Tender stage, with a submission deadline of 23:59 BST on 13 September 2024. The project is due to start on 1 October 2024 and is expected to complete by 15 March 2025. This competitive quotation process involves assessing improvement condition reports submitted by waste incinerator operators, with a contract valued at approximately £50,000 GBP. This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in environmental engineering consultancy, specifically those experienced in evaluating emission reduction trials. Given the nature of the work, Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in environmental impact assessments and knowledge of selective non-catalytic reduction (SNCR) systems would be particularly well-suited to compete. Successful participation could not only enhance the winning company’s portfolio but also foster long-term relationships with DEFRA and potentially lead to further collaborative opportunities within the environmental sector. ## Notice The Environment Agency is looking for a supplier who can carry out the systematic assessment of improvement condition reports submitted by waste incinerator operators regarding trials they have performed to reduce emissions of oxides of nitrogen (NOx) from their plants. The improvement conditions require the operators to carry out trials on their selective non-catalytic reduction (SNCR) systems to see what levels of NOx can be achieved and the corresponding impact on ammonia emissions, along with other cross-media effects. The successful supplier will need to evaluate around 20-25 improvement condition reports and produce summary information, conclusions and recommendations, building on similar work carried out for other reports previously. This is a national project with a start date of 1 October 2024 and finish date of 15 March 2025.See the Request for Quotation document for more detail.
