This initiative aims to assess the UK government's efforts in implementing its National Adaptation Programme, with an emphasis on enhancing natural capital and addressing climate change vulnerabilities. The tender period concludes on 1 December 2017, with the contract anticipated to begin on 15 December 2017 and last until 15 May 2018. The estimated value of the contract is £25,000 and it falls under the category of research and development services. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses focused on research and environmental consultancy, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that specialise in climate adaptation strategies. Organisations with expertise in assessing environmental impacts, natural resource management, and ecological consultancy would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. Engaging with this tender could enable businesses to expand their portfolios and contribute to vital climate action efforts. ## Notice The ASC has a statutory duty to report to Parliament with an independent assessment of the UK government's progress in implementing its National Adaptation Programme. This programme, published in July 2013, sets out the government's objectives and policies for adaptation primarily in England, addressing the risks and opportunities identified by the UK Climate Change Risk Assessment (CCRA), first published in January 2012. The ASC published an Evidence Report to inform the second CCRA in July 2016, with the key findings subsequently presented by the government to Parliament in January 2017. One of the six priority risks identified by the ASC as needing urgent further action relates to the provision of natural capital, including terrestrial, coastal, marine and freshwater ecosystems, soils and biodiversity. In 2015, the ASC produced its first statutory assessment of the National Adaptation Programme, followed by a second assessment in June 2017. These reports consider what actions are being taken to adapt to the current and future impacts of climate change across a number of sectors, and how vulnerability to climate hazards is changing over time. Both reports found that while much action is underway, it was in most cases unclear what impact those actions had had on reducing vulnerability or exposure to climate change. The government is now in the stages of producing its next National Adaptation Programme, due for publication in summer 2018. The ASC will evaluate this programme in 2019 and again in 2021. The ASC is considering whether to make any changes to its assessment framework to evaluate the degree of progress in climate change adaptation in England. As well as informing any amendments the ASC makes to its assessment framework, this work could also inform the next National Adaptation Programme. ** Please see specification ** Additional information: Bids should be sent in time for receipt by 5 pm on 1 December 2017. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/46831015-d1e0-449a-b454-60766b9694bc | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 10 Nov 2017 | | Submission deadline | 1 Dec 2017 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 15 Dec 2017 - 15 May 2018 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £25,000 | | 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 | THE COMMITTEE ON CLIMATE CHANGE | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South West London | | Postcode | SW1W 8NR | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI33 Kensington & Chelsea and Hammersmith & Fulham | | Local authority | Kensington and Chelsea | | Electoral ward | Royal Hospital | | Westminster constituency | Chelsea and Fulham | | Delivery location | TLI London | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ### Codes - 73000000 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ## Release History - 10 Nov 2017 at 11:20 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/46831015-d1e0-449a-b454-60766b9694bc ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/46831015-d1e0-449a-b454-60766b9694bc 10th November 2017 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/78e7ae44-96ab-4040-9c34-a7c3c2ad11b7 ITT - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/721b3a07-70f5-4d90-9d62-2d8b8039487e Specification - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/8d953c45-0b49-47dd-b1b6-20f2011d21a6 Terms and Conditions ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
