## Summary

The procurement process for the project titled "Evaluation of the MRF Regs" is initiated by the Defra Network eTendering Portal, focusing on research services within the environmental sector. The tender is currently active and will remain open until 18th January 2019, marking the end of the tender period. Following this, the contract is set to commence on 4th February 2019 and conclude by 29th March 2019. The delivery addresses for submissions include not only the United Kingdom but also several British Overseas Territories, the Channel Islands, and Europe.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) to engage in public procurement and expand their business horizons. Companies specialising in research services, particularly those with experience in environmental regulations and materials recovery, would be well-suited to compete for this contract. Engaging in this project could enhance their portfolios and establish connections within the government sector, fostering long-term growth.

## Notice

The aim of this project is to gather evidence underpinning a Post Implementation Review (PIR) of the Environmental Permitting (England and Wales) (Amendment) Regulations 2014 schedule 9(a) Materials Facilities, which introduced materials sampling and data reporting requirements on Materials Recovery Facilities (MRF) in England and Wales. The project will provide the evidence needed to produce the PIR (which will be later done in-house).
