This tender falls under the classification of research and development services and related consultancy services. The procurement is currently at the Award stage, with the contract valued at £80,125. The contract period is set to commence on 17 December 2021 and conclude by 30 September 2022. The procurement method used is an open procedure, and the tendering phase concluded on 29 November 2021. This opportunity presents significant potential for businesses specialising in research and consultancy within the chemicals regulation sector, particularly those experienced with regulatory transitions post-EU Exit. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to engage with this tendering process, which could foster valuable contributions to the evaluation of the UK's new regulatory framework while allowing participating firms to expand their market presence. ## Notice Due to EU Exit, Great Britain is transitioning from REACH, a major Chemicals regulation, to UK REACH - a GB Chemicals regulation. Defra wants to evaluate the transition to UK REACH. The overarching aims of the evaluation are to look at: o Process: To what extent is Defra and its delivery agencies providing an effective operational service? o Impact: What are the emerging costs and benefits of UK REACH and how are businesses adapting to the regulatory changes.
