## Summary

The procurement process for the project titled "Updating Estimates of Business Resource Efficiency Opportunities" was conducted by the Defra Network eTendering Portal, based in London, England. This project falls under the miscellaneous business and business-related services category and is designed to update estimates regarding resource efficiency opportunities for UK businesses, particularly the previously quoted £23 billion in potential efficiency gains. The procurement method used was a limited approach, with the tender period ending on 11 November 2016, and the contract period commencing 11 January 2017 and set to conclude on 31 March 2017.

This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), to contribute to updating critical resource efficiency data that can drive business growth. Firms specialising in environmental services, data analysis, and consulting services would be ideally positioned to participate in this project, enabling them to showcase their expertise and expand their client base while positively impacting UK business practices.

## Notice

The project will update the estimates of resource efficiency opportunities for UK business. These were published in 2007, revised in 2011 (link: further benefits of business resource efficiency ) and are now in urgent need of updating again. The updated estimates will relate to the 'quick wins' for business in resource efficiency - the previous report estimated these at PS23bn in terms of efficiency gains that business could in theory quite easily achieve and quickly (< 1 yr). The 'PS23bn' is a headline figure that is quite often quoted and it will be helpful to see whether the PS23bn has changed since 2011 with indications of by how much.
