## Notice

Contract Award Notice for Socio-economic analysis of applying a UK REACH restriction to the manufacture, import, marketing or use of perfluoro- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). We are currently considering the case for a restriction under UK REACH (UK Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals) for certain uses of Perfluoroalkyl and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS). This project specifically concerns dispersive uses of PFAS that could lead to the contamination of surface water, groundwater, soils or biota (including humans). UK REACH legislation requires that the UK Chemicals Agency undertakes a socio-economic analysis/impact assessment (SEA) to thoroughly investigate the estimated societal impacts of the restriction. This SEA is subject to independent expert scrutiny and public consultation. We are seeking a contractor to produce an SEA, in line with UK REACH requirements, on a potential restriction of PFAS in dispersive uses.
