## Summary

The procurement process involved the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra), which aimed to commission an analysis of responses to its consultation regarding a ban on commonly littered single-use plastic items in England. The tender, titled "Analysis of responses for Defra's Consultation on proposals to ban commonly littered single-use plastic items in England and Call for Evidence on Commonly Littered and Problematic Plastic Items," was classified under technical analysis or consultancy services and valued at £20,000. The procurement method used was selective, and the contract period was set from 10th February 2022 to 11th March 2022, following a tender period that concluded on 7th February 2022.

This opportunity is well-suited for consultancy firms specialising in environmental analysis and policy development, particularly those experienced in working with governmental consultations. Businesses that can effectively analyse and report on complex data, especially in relation to environmental issues, will benefit from this contract, as they play a vital role in shaping future regulations within the green economy. Furthermore, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to engage, given their suitability for this work and the direct award nature of the procurement process.
