## Summary

The procurement process involves the award of a contract by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) for a project titled "Modelling PM2.5 levels in the UK using KCL's hybrid exposure model (CMAQ-urban)." This contract, valued at £20,000, falls under the industry category of research and development consultancy services and is based in London, England. The procurement method used was a direct award via a single tender action, and the contract period runs from 21 January 2019 to 31 March 2020, with the award date noted as 28 February 2020.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those within the environmental consultancy and research sectors. Organisations that have expertise in air quality analysis, environmental modelling, and data-driven research would be particularly well-suited to compete for similar future contracts. Additionally, voluntary and community sector enterprises could find valuable opportunities in contributing to high-impact projects that align with government initiatives on air quality and environmental sustainability.

## Notice

This work is required to provide fundamental research needed to support Ministerial decisions on the potential introduction of a new and ambitious air quality target as announced in our Clean Air Strategy and being developed for inclusion in the Environment Bill. Therefore, this work is of the utmost importance in delivering these work streams and ensuring we meet high profile Ministerial commitments. The evidence developed thus far has been sourced through an existing AQIE with another supplier. This work will complement that evidence and build on the progress made but cannot be delivered through the existing contract. Additional information: Please note that Defra procurement uses an E-tendering system for Procurement activities. This is currently provided by Bravo Solutions. To access appropriate tendering and contractual documents, please access the E-Tendering portal at https://defra.bravosolution.co.uk", ensuring that your registration includes "Defra".
