This procurement falls under the research and development services industry category and is based in London, England. The tender is currently in the active stage, following an open procurement method, with a deadline for submissions set for 24 September 2018. The contract is valued at £80,000 and is expected to commence on 15 October 2018, lasting until 25 January 2020. This tender presents valuable opportunities for SMEs with expertise in environmental research and consultancy to enhance their business portfolios. Companies that specialise in water resource management, climate impact analysis, and related research services would be particularly well-suited to compete. By engaging in this project, successful bidders can contribute to vital national adaptation efforts while establishing connections with government departments and potentially securing future contracts in the public sector. ## Notice The second CCRA (CCRA2) was published in 2017 and was supported by a comprehensive Evidence Report from the Adaptation Sub-Committee (ASC). Defra and the devolved administrations are in the process of drafting updated national adaptation programmes in response to the risks and opportunities set out in the report. The third CCRA will be published by the government in January 2022, and Defra have asked the ASC to produce an accompanying Evidence Report by summer 2021.To inform this Evidence Report the ASC are commissioning six research projects, funded by Defra, the devolved administrations and the research councils (NERC, ESRC and EPSRC). For CCRA2, a consortium of contractors led by HR Wallingford undertook an assessment to improve upon existing projections of water availability. It was designed to produce a range of metrics consistent with, or at least recognisable to, existing work undertaken by government agencies and bodies and water companies. The approach and outputs of this analysis are set out in an individual research report and are used throughout the sections of CCRA2 which focus on water availability-related risks and opportunities. The main reasons for updating these projections at this time are: * water companies are developing new water resource management plans (WRMPs) including updated projections of deployable output and demand; * new UK climate projections from the UKCP18 project are expected to be published in late 2018 and early 2019; * the UK Government provided further details on the options for reforming the water abstraction management system in January 2016 following formal consultation; and * a number of water availability-related analyses and reports have been published, most notably: - Water resources long term planning framework (2015-2065) - Water UK, 2016. - Preparing for a drier future - National Infrastructure Commission, 2018. - The long term potential for deep reductions in household water demand - Artesia Consulting for Ofwat, 2018. * See Specification for more detail *** ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d217d7a6-2eb7-4c6c-8660-50866c31e48b | | 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 | 31 Jul 2018 | | Submission deadline | 24 Sep 2018 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 14 Oct 2018 - 25 Jan 2020 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £80,000 | | 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 - 31 Jul 2018 at 11:14 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d217d7a6-2eb7-4c6c-8660-50866c31e48b ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d217d7a6-2eb7-4c6c-8660-50866c31e48b 31st July 2018 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/1176f8cb-b8b7-40f7-a92c-ed16ff5998d2 ITT - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/deecca80-f73f-4305-a2d4-efb8bdaa682c Specification - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/2d7d69ce-6972-4b6e-abe2-f60bd0041374 T&C's ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
