## Summary

The Environment Agency (EA) recently awarded a contract for the project titled "RDE 403 - Environmental Capacity for Industrial Clusters Phase 3", under the CPV code 73200000 for research and development consultancy services. The contract, valued at £79,961, was awarded to Water Research Centre Limited. The procurement method used was selective, calling off from a framework agreement. The tender period ended on 6th November 2023, with the contract scheduled to start from 8th November 2023 and end on 31st March 2024.

This awarded contract by the EA provides an opportunity for businesses in the research and development consultancy sector to engage in a comprehensive review of environmental capacity in industrial clusters. Companies experienced in environmental risk assessment, climate impact analysis, stakeholder engagement, and report production would be well-suited to compete. The project focuses on water quality and availability issues within the Hynet Industrial Cluster, creating avenues for firms aiming to contribute expertise towards sustainable industrial development.

## Notice

The project is looking for technical support to carry out an in-depth review of the evidence on expected emissions to water, water quality impacts and the availability of water, with a focus on the Hynet Industrial Cluster. The support needed is also required to help collate and expand the evidence if technical specialists spot gaps, provide an assessment of the evidence particularly where the evidence is complex. Page 4 of 18 Version 4.0 LIT 58468 * Undertake a review of existing literature and available data relevant to the determination of environmental risk for low carbon technology planned for deployment in the Hynet Industrial Cluster. This will include information published by organisations such as the UKRI, CCSA, UKCCSRC, HICP, Innovate UK, Imperial College London, University of Sheffield, University of Glasgow etc, where appropriate, also from UK Government and wider European funded projects for decarbonisation and hydrogen supply. * Establish an evidence baseline for current climate impacts, limits of the environment, impacts of current industry on the environment, and forecast of climate impacts, potential impacts from low carbon technology. The project will need to understand current challenges to water quality and water availability in the Hynet Industrial Cluster before any additional impacts from new technology can be assessed. * Undertake a search of similar projects in the UK and wider, if possible, to prevent the risk of duplication and avoid repetition. * Use the evidence baseline to inform an internal and external engagement exercise to explore and assess water quality and water availability. Thorough engagement can then progress the evidence baseline further to establish the extent constraints could challenge deployments. * Support the production of material and participate in internal engagement with EA water quality and water resource specialists and external engagement with key stakeholders. * Support project write up and production of products such as a final report and infographic. This contract was awarded by EA
