This tender falls under the Packaging and related services industry category and is currently in the planning stage. Key dates include a planned pre-market engagement event, for which potential bidders must submit their Expressions of Interest by April 5th, 2019, at 17:00 BST. The contract is scheduled to start on November 1st, 2019, and conclude by December 31st, 2020, with an estimated value of £80,000. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses focused on environmental standards, particularly those involved in the production of consumer goods eligible for the EU Ecolabel. Companies that prioritise sustainability and meet stringent environmental criteria will find this contract particularly advantageous. Small and medium-sized enterprises, in particular, are encouraged to engage, as the process is designed to accommodate their participation in promoting environmentally friendly products. This initiative is expected to foster growth by allowing businesses to showcase their commitment to high ecological standards. ## Notice 1.1 The EU Ecolabel (also known as the Flower) is the official EU environmental product labelling scheme, and is a voluntary EU-wide scheme for products that meet tough environmental criteria. It was established in 1992 and has been revised a number of times, most recently in 2009 (Regulation (EC) No. 66/2010). 1.2 The scheme enables businesses to apply to use the scheme's flower logo to show that their product(s) meets high environmental standards. It is intended to encourage businesses to put on the market products which meet these standards, and make it easier for consumers to identify high performing products in environmental terms. 1.3 Thirty-four product groups have been developed so far, ranging from domestic products like laundry detergents and paints, to tourist accommodation and campsites. Product group criteria usually remain valid for between three and five years, depending on factors such as how quickly the technology is developing. At any one time, criteria may be being developed for several product groups, both new ones and revisions. 1.4 Participation in the scheme by companies is voluntary. The Ecolabel Regulation sets out the responsibilities of the Competent Body and also establishes the committee framework within which Member States consider aspects of the scheme and take decisions about it. 1.5 In the UK (by agreement with the administrations for Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland) the Competent Body is the Secretary of State for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs. Potential Bidders are asked to submit Expressions of Interest to the Procurement Lead named on this notice by April 5th 1700BST in order to participate in a pre-market engagement event. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/fc7cc7cd-9d25-4f25-bd56-456527b779bc | | Notice type | Planned Procurement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 22 Mar 2019 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 18 Mar 2019 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 1 Nov 2019 - 31 Dec 2020 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £80,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planned | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | DEFRA NETWORK ETENDERING PORTAL | | Locality | YORK | | Post town | York | | Postcode | YO1 7PX | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | | ITL 2 | TLE2 North Yorkshire | | ITL 3 | TLE21 York | | Local authority | York | | Electoral ward | Guildhall | | Westminster constituency | York Central | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 79920000 - Packaging and related services ## Release History - 22 Mar 2019 at 09:54 - Planning - Planned Procurement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/fc7cc7cd-9d25-4f25-bd56-456527b779bc ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/fc7cc7cd-9d25-4f25-bd56-456527b779bc 22nd March 2019 - Future opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
