## Summary

The procurement process pertains to a tender titled "Direct Measurement of Landfill Emissions Using the Tracer Gas Dispersion Method", issued by the Defra Network eTendering Portal. This project is classified under research services and encompasses identifying, quantifying, and variating methane emissions from landfills across the United Kingdom. The tender period concluded on 28 September 2018, while the contract spans from 15 October 2018 to 31 March 2019. It involved a direct procurement method, specifically a single tender action below the threshold, which is notable for SMEs and VCSEs aiming to engage in environmentally-focused projects within the British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, and the United Kingdom.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses engaged in environmental research, emissions analysis, and consultancy services. Firms specialising in greenhouse gas measurements or those having expertise in landfill emissions management would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. The emphasis on innovative research methods and the potential for future landfill surveys also suggests room for growth in collaborations and projects that demonstrate sustainable practices, offering pathways for companies looking to expand their footprint in the environmental services sector.

## Notice

The project aims to: - inform the validation of the current methane inventory model by determining the collection efficiencies at a sample of landfills - quantify methane emissions from a sample of landfills and to understand how these vary under different conditions - quantify how large the variation in emissions actual is - understand the main factors that influence variability in methane emissions at different landfills - demonstrate and refine the tracer gas dispersion method for quantifying landfill methane emissions - demonstrate that the Tracer Gas Dispersion method would be a viable approach for any wider survey of landfills to determine methane emissions of the landfill population or sub-sets of the whole population.
