The procurement stage is currently active. The contract value is £25,000 GBP, and the tender deadline is 16:00 on 28 October 2022. The contract period is scheduled to start on 4 November 2022 and end on 6 March 2023. This opportunity falls under the services category and is open for SMEs, offering growth prospects. This tender presents a significant opportunity for consultancy firms specialising in evaluation services to engage with the Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs. The project focuses on updating and standardising ammonia emission factors for pig and poultry operations in the UK. Businesses equipped to provide expert input on emission factors, livestock management practices, and genetics stand to benefit from this tender. SMEs are particularly encouraged to participate, leveraging their expertise in the industry category to contribute to modernising emission factor standards. ## Notice "Agriculture produces 88% of the UK's ammonia emissions, which are predominantly released during: the storage and spreading of manures and slurries, and; from the application of inorganic fertilisers. Ammonia is also emitted from the housing of animals. Ammonia damages sensitive natural habitats and contributes to particulate pollution in urban areas. The four UK environment agencies use standard pig and poultry ammonia emission factors for permitting assessments and to inform annual emissions reporting by operators. The standard emission factors used are based on a combination of the UK Ammonia Inventory data, emission mitigation reductions reported in the Intensive Rearing of Poultry or Pigs best Available Techniques (BAT) reference document, operator specific monitoring and verified reductions (usually from the Netherlands, Denmark, Germany) provided by technology companies. The UK environment agencies have identified the need to update our respective published emission factors to reflect more recent evidence and modern livestock management practices, genetics and nutrition. We aim to better align the emission factors used across the UK and standardise how emission factors are adjusted to account for mitigation techniques to improve consistency across UK permitting and emissions reporting. The UK environment agencies have collectively reviewed the emissions factors from latest Inventory of Ammonia emissions from UK Agriculture. Initially reviewing the emission factor tables provided by the Inventory Team and back calculating to understand how they have been derived, we have identified several areas where additional expert input is needed to better understand the derivation of certain figures, the descriptions of housing systems referred to and how the inventory emission factors can be applied to farm operations on typical permitted farms across the UK. The aim of this project is to provide answers to these questions and a suite of recommended ammonia emission factors and abatement factors for a range of standard pig and poultry housing systems and management techniques."
