This event will take place on the 25th of February 2019 at Defra's office located at 17 Smith Square, London, SW1P 3JR. Interested parties must register by contacting Sharon Denham via email by the engagement end date of 28th April 2019. This procurement process is categorised under research and experimental development services (CPV 73100000) and will involve market engagement leading up to future procurement opportunities anticipated for publication in March/April 2019. This engagement workshop presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in environmental research, data modelling, and policy evaluation, particularly those who can provide innovative solutions for nitrogen dioxide emission reduction. Companies that excel in rapid scenario modelling, data integration from various sources, and framework project management would be well-positioned to compete in future tenders derived from this engagement process. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, as the initiative aims to enhance the current modelling capabilities within the joint Air Quality Unit of Defra. ## Notice The Joint Air Quality Unit (JAQU) of the Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (Defra) and the Department for Transport (DfT) hereby invite you to an engagement workshop for the Modelling Pillar of the Future Evidence Programme (FEP) for potential suppliers and interested experts. The FEP will improve our capability to provide underpinning evidence, including for compliance with relevant Directives and evaluation of policies, for successful delivery of the nitrogen dioxide (NO2) emission reduction plan. The workshop will be held on 25th February 2019 at Defra's Office at Nobel House , Smith Square, 17 Smith Square, London, SW1P 3JR. Further details to be issued. Limited to one person per organisation. JAQU is investing over the next two years in framework projects to make a step-change in improvement to the current modelling capability in this area. This includes but is not necessarily limited to improving JAQU's: a) understanding of the scale challenge (Local Vs National); b) ability to carry out policy scenario modelling, e.g. faster run times, reduced uncertainty, delivery of new tools and methods that address recommendations made by previous expert panels (e.g. use of deterministic models); c) integration of modelling systems using different approaches; d) use of 3rd party datasets (e.g. satellites, phone, transport); e) capability and thus reduce dependence on out-sourced evidence. The agenda for the day is to be finalised but is planned to provide an opportunity for feedback from potential suppliers on our requirements, including viability, identification of any dependencies and possible delivery options.
