This tender falls under the services industry category with a focus on research and development services. The procurement is at the tender stage, and bids must be submitted by 17:00 on June 7th, 2019, for an estimated contract value of £15,000. The contract period is set to commence on June 21st, 2019, and conclude on September 13th, 2019. Proposals can be sent via email to Barrie Howe at the Environment Agency's Reading office. This tender presents a valuable opportunity for SMEs with expertise in environmental consultancy, research, and development services, particularly those familiar with water quality and regulatory frameworks. Businesses capable of providing analytical reviews and reports aligned with the Polluter Pays Principle will be particularly well-suited to compete. Engaging in this procurement process can not only enhance a firm's profile in the environmental sector but also contribute to sustainable water management practices across the UK. ## Notice The Environment Agency applies the Polluter Pays Principle (PPP) in water quality planning through the Fair Share Approach. This has been an underlying principle for our water quality planning since the 1980s. Fair share is embedded throughout our measure development for River Basin Management Plans including that for protected areas such as those designated under Habitats Directive. It was recently reapproved by Defra in 2016 to aid with PR19 planning. It was agreed with Defra that after September 2018 the EA would commence a review looking at the different options for sector contributions that may be considered beyond PR19. This work will be part of that review. The project will form only part of a much wider review of the application of Polluter Pay's. This project is a technical review of three existing methodologies, of which one is our current application of Polluter Pays', Fair Share. It is not intended that this project will develop new approaches. Additional information: To apply please respond to the attached Invitation to Quote and associated documents. Email your response to barrie.howe@environment-agency.gov.uk. Tenders to be received no later than 17:00 on June 7th 2019. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/7a5029b6-2ae2-4f82-94ea-ff7648aab9d5 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | 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 | 8 May 2019 | | Submission deadline | 7 Jun 2019 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 20 Jun 2019 - 13 Sep 2019 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £15,000 | | 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 | DEPARTMENT FOR ENVIRONMENT, FOOD & RURAL AFFAIRS | | Locality | READING | | Post town | Reading | | Postcode | RG1 8DQ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLJ South East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLJ1 Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire | | ITL 3 | TLJ16 Berkshire West | | Local authority | Reading | | Electoral ward | Thames | | Westminster constituency | Reading Central | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ### Codes - 73000000 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ## Release History - 8 May 2019 at 12:45 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/7a5029b6-2ae2-4f82-94ea-ff7648aab9d5 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/7a5029b6-2ae2-4f82-94ea-ff7648aab9d5 8th May 2019 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/1bab7c7c-0184-4569-b801-e93a4743574f Opntions Review Specification - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/a93a5f22-a8a1-4ef6-9cd2-295269fad84f Fair Share options - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/40c358e7-3b71-4e3e-b672-510be28a15c7 Tender documents including contract details - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/64b509d5-f0f8-45d8-8c7c-7615d66afbe4 Guiding Principles - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/1746c829-1cc4-4dcf-8c01-bc1d04800df5 Note on Catchment Management Statistics - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/a4f5fe2c-cf17-48c0-a3ff-3f2dd02d7dca Planning for measures to control water quality agricultural impacts - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/8fe5420c-b48f-4f72-98ae-c2f2ecef2652 Fair Share options annex ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
