## Summary

The procurement process titled "PFAS Data Collection" was initiated by the Defra Network eTendering Portal. This tender falls under the category of research and development services and related consultancy services, with an emphasis on gathering critical data on per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) across multiple sectors including cosmetics, textiles, and cleaning products. The tender opened with an open procurement method and concluded on 26th November 2019, marking its current status as complete. The contract was awarded on 6th January 2020, with a total value of £12,385, and the contract period spans from 8th January 2020 to 31st March 2020.

This procurement represents a significant opportunity for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) engaged in consultancy and research services. Businesses specialising in environmental consultancy, data analytics, or regulatory compliance within the sectors identified by the Environment Agency are particularly well-positioned to compete in similar future tenders. The demand for comprehensive data on PFAS usage and emissions is likely to grow, providing a fertile ground for companies that can offer innovative solutions for data collection and analysis.

## Notice

A recent evidence review by the Environment Agency has identified large data gaps in relation to the uses, sources and mass emissions of PFAS in the UK. One of the recommendations of that report was that the Environment Agency should seek more information from the following industrial sectors where PFAS are likely to be used: - Cosmetics and personal care products - Paper and board (including food contact materials) - Textiles - Cleaning products - Paints and coatings (including printing inks) We now require a consultant to facilitate a productive level of engagement that delivers representative information for these sectors, based on a standard questionnaire format (to be provided). The resulting evidence base will be used to guide UK decision making about future regulatory interventions.
