This tender falls under the services category in the research and development sector (CPV code 73000000) and is currently in the tender stage. The opportunity is open for bids until 26 July 2019, with contract performance anticipated to start on 23 September 2019 and run until 23 September 2022. The procurement method is an open procedure, which invites participation from all eligible suppliers. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in technical consultancy and policy analysis, particularly for those with experience in environmental services and acoustic research. Companies with a focus on rapid response capabilities and the ability to provide high-quality support under tight deadlines will be well-positioned to compete for this contract. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to apply, particularly those equipped to manage diverse technical tasks and contribute to governmental policy development and research initiatives. ## Notice The Contractor will be required to provide, on an ad hoc basis, timely, high quality, specialist technical support. Under the Contract, the Authority offers no guarantees of any minimum level of work over the Contract duration. Given the nature of central government work, and particularly the need to work with OGDs, whose policies frequently impact on noise and nuisance issues, the team often has to intervene or comment on policies with very little notice. Work could consist of reviewing policy proposals or contributing to briefing materials for Ministerial Submissions, Westminster Hall debates or Ministerial Correspondence. Consequently, the appointed Contractor will be required, on occasion, to respond very rapidly to urgent requests . Tasks are expected to include (but are not limited to): Provision of technical review comments, policy-attuned appraisal, advice and opinion or sense-checking on documents or reports. Assistance with Ministerial and Departmental correspondence or Parliamentary Question responses by providing technical & legislative information and/ or knowledge gained from practical experience. Technical, policy-attuned advice in terms of identifying and reporting new developments and initiatives in acoustic/statutory nuisance research and the impact these may have on domestic legislation, government policy and associated standards and guidance. Monitoring relevant developments and initiatives of international bodies, DAs, OGDs, other government agencies and local authorities and proactively alerting the Authority and, if required, providing policy-attuned appraisal and information. Carrying out preliminary research projects, analysis, evidence gathering and/or scoping work to inform early stage policy development, public consultations, impact assessments, potential research plans or policy implementation plans. Provision of modelling or other related analytical services. Assistance with the delivery of research projects, including drafting evidence project specifications, participating in project oversight panels, reviewing and commenting on draft reports or peer reviewing draft or published reports or research papers. Carry out appraisal, assessments and/or reviews of health impact research and economic appraisal of health impacts and policy options. Attending conferences and similar events and preparing briefings on presentations and/or papers presented and/or question and answer sessions. Accompanying officials to the relevant meetings to provide immediate technical advice and information or expert opinion. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/178bc2ec-0a14-4edf-bc1e-6f71acfadf82 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (above threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 19 Jun 2019 | | Submission deadline | 26 Jul 2019 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 22 Sep 2019 - 23 Sep 2022 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | 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 | DEFRA NETWORK ETENDERING PORTAL | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South West London | | Postcode | SW1P 3JR | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI35 Westminster and City of London | | Local authority | Westminster | | Electoral ward | St James's | | Westminster constituency | Cities of London and Westminster | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ### Codes - 73000000 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ## Release History - 19 Jun 2019 at 11:33 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/178bc2ec-0a14-4edf-bc1e-6f71acfadf82 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/178bc2ec-0a14-4edf-bc1e-6f71acfadf82 19th June 2019 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://defra.bravosolution.co.uk Link to eSourcing Portal ## Notice URLs - https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/department-for-environment-food-rural-affairs ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
