This procurement is part of the research consultancy services sector, aiming to address climate change as declared by Parliament and various authorities. The contracting process is currently in the planning stage, with key dates including a future notice published on 30th September 2019 and a contract period set to commence on 29th November 2019 and end on 27th November 2020. Interested suppliers are advised to register and express their interest via the Defra Network eTendering Portal, with details accessible through Bravo Solutions. This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses engaged in climate change consultancy, environmental services, and carbon reduction strategies. Companies that specialise in research consultancy services, particularly those focusing on sustainability and carbon management, would be ideally suited to compete for this contract. Participation in this tender can bolster a firm's reputation and contribute to growth by aligning with governmental sustainability goals, thereby potentially attracting further contracts within the public sector's growing demand for eco-friendly solutions. ## Notice On the 1st May 2019 a Climate Change Emergency was declared by Parliament, Scottish and Welsh governments followed suite along with many Local Authorities. There is also a growing awareness and appetite for action across industry (e.g. CIWEM and ICE) and society (e.g. (Extinction Rebellion). At the Environment Agency we have an 'E:mission sustainability strategy' which sets out how we and our supply chain will reduce our carbon footprint, this strategy is currently being and will commit us to becoming a Net Zero Carbon organisation. Many other Flood Risk Management Authorities (RMAs) are also declaring Climate Change emergencies, and setting ambitious carbon neutrality targets. Reducing our carbon footprint - moving toward a goal of Net Zero Carbon is very relevant to all FCERM RMAs because we own, manage and maintain assets and infrastructure which produce operational carbon. We also develop and deliver new schemes which produce both operational and embodied carbon. To move towards Net Zero Carbon we first need to understand what Net Zero Carbon means to our organisation and FCERM. Then we need to understand our baseline - to set out how much Carbon our current Capital and Maintenance programmes emits and from there establish how to reduce it.
