This project falls under the Research and Development services and related consultancy services category. The contracting authority is UK Shared Business Services Limited located in Swindon, England. The project involves exploring climate risks and adaptation in the UK's farmed landscapes, focusing on interventions to reduce climate risks and provide wider benefits to ecosystems and society. The tender process is in the planning stage, with an expected tender release in May 2024 and completion by summer 2025. This opportunity is particularly suitable for businesses specializing in research and development services, environmental impact assessments other than for construction, and those with expertise in climate change adaptation. SMEs and voluntary, community, and social enterprise organizations are encouraged to participate. By engaging in this tender, businesses have the chance to contribute to a crucial project that will inform the UK's approach to climate change adaptation, with potential opportunities to support future national adaptation programmes. The project aims to create a well-adapted UK, outlining investment requirements and effective actions for resilience under a changing climate. ## Notice The Climate Change Committee (CCC) is an independent, statutory body established under the Climate Change Act 2008. Our purpose is to advise the UK and devolved governments on emissions targets and to report to Parliament on progress made in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and preparing for and adapting to the impacts of climate change. The UK Climate Change Act 2008 requires that every five years, the UK government must publish a Climate Change Risk Assessment (CCRA). The CCRA seeks to provide an authoritative and up-to-date assessment of the risks and opportunities facing the UK from climate change. The Fourth UK Climate Change Risk Assessment (CCRA4) Government Report is due to be published in January 2027. As with CCRA2 and CCRA3 it will be based on an Independent Assessment that the CCC has been commissioned by Defra to lead; this will be published in mid-2026. As part of CCRA4, the CCC will be developing a new output to complement the Technical Report. This output - to be known as the 'Well-adapted UK report'- will aim to set out a vision of what a well-adapted UK could look like, and the investment requirements to reach it. This will go on to support the development of effective actions in the next set of national adaptation programmes from governments across the UK. The 'Well-adapted UK' report will be informed by a set of commissioned, bespoke analysis projects, in-house CCC analysis and wider external evidence. The proposal outlined below will form one of the commissioned projects to inform this report. We expect this analysis to go out to tender in May 2024 and is due to be completed by summer 2025, to feed into CCRA4 in 2026. Potential project This piece of analysis will look to explore climate risk and adaptation in the UK's farmed landscapes with a focus on the adaptation interventions that can reduce climate risks to these landscapes, whilst also providing wider ecosystem and societal benefits. As farmed land covers over 70% of the UK and produces around 50% of food that we eat, adaptation on farmland represents an important element of ensuring the UK's is resilient under a changing climate. However, there remains a lack of analysis - at a national and local scale - that explores the cost and effectiveness of adaptation interventions within farmed landscapes that will address climate risks to food production and support nature targets, whilst also providing wider ecosystem and societal benefits.
