## Summary

The Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ), represented by BEIS, has completed a tender process for the research project titled "Scope of the Scale and Quality of Inefficient Used Vehicle Exports from the UK to ODA-Eligible Countries." The project falls under the 'Research services' category and aims to gather data on the UK's export of inefficient second-hand vehicles to developing countries. The tender, with a value of £58,592, followed an open procedure and had a tender period that ended on 23rd June 2023. The contract period spans from 19th July 2023 to 31st October 2023, creating opportunities for SMEs and VCSEs, and is located in the UK, British Oversea Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, and the rest of the world.

This tender awarded to TRL Limited offers potential growth opportunities for businesses involved in research services related to emissions profiling and environmental impact assessment of vehicle exports. Businesses with expertise in analysing vehicle data and environmental impact assessment would be well-suited to compete in this sector. Specifically, organisations focusing on sustainability and environmental research may find this procurement beneficial for their business growth. The nature of the procurement method and the project scope make it favourable for businesses aiming to contribute to the decarbonisation and sustainability efforts within the automotive industry.

## Notice

The Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) have commissioned an external organisation to conduct research into the UK's contribution to the dumping of inefficient 2nd hand vehicles in Overseas Development Assistance (ODA) eligible countries. The overarching objective of this project is to gather robust data on the scale and quality of used vehicle exports to ODA-eligible countries. Our primary aim is to gather information to understand the emissions profile, age and quality of the used vehicles the UK exports to developing countries - this will help us to ascertain the extent to which the UK contributes to the problem of 'dumping' highly inefficient and environmentally harmful vehicles in developing country markets
