## Summary

The DEPARTMENT FOR ENVIRONMENT FOOD & RURAL AFFAIRS is seeking to establish a methodology for assessing the impact of alternative thermal treatment processes under the Environmental Permitting Regulations. This tender, titled "Establishing a methodology that supports the assessment of the impact of alternative (advanced) thermal treatment processes (ATT)", is currently in the Tender stage, with the submission deadline set for 6th November 2020. The contract is classified under industry code 90711000, related to environmental impact assessments, and is estimated to be valued between £30,000 and £40,000. The contract period will commence on 23rd November 2020 and run until 31st March 2021, primarily located in the United Kingdom.

This procurement presents a significant opportunity for businesses, particularly those in environmental consultancy, air quality management, and related sectors. Companies that specialise in advanced thermal treatment technologies or have expertise in syngas analysis will be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. Additionally, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary and community sector enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate, providing a chance for innovative solutions that can contribute to environmentally sustainable practices.

## Notice

Alternative Thermal Treatment Plant (Pyrolysis and Gasification) have multiple permitting routes under the Environmental Permitting Regulations 2016 depending on the composition and waste classification of the syngas. We wish to appoint a consultant to identify a process and supporting evidence that enables the assessment of whether a process should be permitted under Chapter IV IED as an incineration process, based on a technical understanding of syngas composition at the point of combustion. The consultant will be able to deliver a methodology that supports applications and permitting decsions across the wide variance of thermal treatment processes as well as produce technical literature that can lead to the future development of BAT for these processes. Additional information: Please follow the instructions given in the request for quotation pack and apply directly to the buyer.
