This procurement falls under the industry category of Research and Development services and related consultancy services. Based in London, the tender is currently in the active stage and follows an open procurement method with detailed specifications outlined. Key dates include a tender period closing on 17 September 2018, with the contract set to begin on 8 October 2018 and concluding by 21 January 2020. The total value of the contract is estimated at £120,000. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses focused on research, environmental consulting, and climate adaptation strategies, particularly those with expertise in flood risk assessment and management. Small and medium-sized enterprises, especially those with innovative approaches to climate science and adaptation processes, would be well-suited to engage in this competitive process. Potential bidders are encouraged to demonstrate their capabilities in providing high-resolution spatial analysis and effective adaptation strategies tailored to various geographical contexts across the UK. ## Notice The second CCRA (CCRA2) was published in 2017 and was supported by a comprehensive Evidence Report from the Adaptation Sub-Committee (ASC). Defra and the devolved administrations are in the process of drafting updated national adaptation programmes in response to the risks and opportunities set out in the report. The third CCRA will be published by the government in January 2022, and Defra have asked the ASC to produce an accompanying Evidence Report by summer 2021.To inform this Evidence Report the ASC are commissioning six research projects, funded by Defra, the devolved administrations and the research councils. The ASC has been engaging with relevant stakeholders (e.g. researchers, funders, academies) with a view of addressing key evidence gaps from the CCRA2 report on a variety of timescales. The scientific literature is also being reviewed to identify work that may already exist in these areas. For CCRA2, the ASC commissioned a research project developing projections of future flood risk across the UK based on a small set of climate and population scenarios i.e. 2degC, 4degC and H++ scenarios for climate and low, medium and high growth scenarios for population. That project identified some significant increases in future flood risk over the 21st Century and also analysed the potential for a suite of adaptation options to mitigate those risks. With CCRA3 there is a desire to update the projections to take into account the most recent flood risk policies in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland; to make use of new climate information in the latest UK climate projections (UKCP18); and to extend the previous analysis in the following two novel ways: * The analysis should have a greater spatial element - flood risk should be assessed at higher spatial resolution and the results presented for different types of locations e.g. cities, coastal communities or rural locations; and * The project should assess and present the effectiveness of place-specific adaptation strategies in these different areas, and present under what scenarios of climate, socioeconomic change and adaptation, limits to adaptation might occur. This new work will have significant value for CCRA3 as it will not only assess risks but also how effective adaptation responses to those risks may be in different types of places around the UK. *** See Specification for more detail *** ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5511f28e-5de8-4563-98e3-a8dc34d24bfc | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | 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 | 31 Jul 2018 | | Submission deadline | 17 Sep 2018 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 7 Oct 2018 - 21 Jan 2020 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £120,000 | | 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 | THE COMMITTEE ON CLIMATE CHANGE | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South West London | | Postcode | SW1W 8NR | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI33 Kensington & Chelsea and Hammersmith & Fulham | | Local authority | Kensington and Chelsea | | Electoral ward | Royal Hospital | | Westminster constituency | Chelsea and Fulham | | Delivery location | TLI London | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ### Codes - 73000000 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ## Release History - 31 Jul 2018 at 10:25 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5511f28e-5de8-4563-98e3-a8dc34d24bfc ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5511f28e-5de8-4563-98e3-a8dc34d24bfc 31st July 2018 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/67577648-1d1c-4fa0-ab66-f70eaf048d1c ITT - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/df8a9237-8247-425b-a7a2-daf1cf03bde3 Specification - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/3cc5c592-818c-4b53-a2db-28347718d330 T&C's ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
