## Summary

The Defra Network eTendering Portal is currently involved in the awarding phase of a public procurement process for the project titled "International Review of Legal Obligations and Requirements on Businesses Regarding the Use of Reusable/Refillable Packaging." This initiative falls under the research consultancy services industry category and is located in the United Kingdom. The contract, valued at £21,100, commenced on 25th May 2022 and will run until 2nd September 2022. The procurement method employed is an open procedure, which enables a competitive environment for potential suppliers.

This tender presents significant opportunities for business growth, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) engaged in sustainability and packaging solutions. Companies that specialise in research consultancy, legal compliance, or eco-friendly packaging could find this tender particularly relevant, as it aims to establish legal frameworks and standards that may lead to enhanced market demand for reusable and refillable packaging solutions.

## Notice

To encourage greater use of reusable and refillable packaging this international review will cover: * How other countries have approached setting legal requirements / obligations on businesses; * The availability of any agreed industry standards on packaging reuse and refill; * How other countries have approached setting recycling targets to encourage 'closed loop' recycling of packaging. Additional information: Please note that Defra procurement uses an E-tendering system for Procurement activities. This is currently provided by Bravo Solutions.
