This procurement falls within the research and development services industry and is based in London, England. The procurement is currently in the Tender stage, having been published on 19th July 2018, with a closing date for submissions set for 15th August 2018. The total budget for this contract is £58,334, and it follows an open procedure below the financial threshold. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in climate research, consultancy, and adaptation strategies, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Companies specialising in environmental analysis, urban planning, and risk assessment related to climate change will find this tender particularly relevant. Engaging in this procurement could enhance a business's footprint in sustainable development and contribute to critical assessments underpinning the UK government's adaptation programme. ## Notice The ASC has a statutory duty to report to Parliament with an independent assessment of the UK government's progress in implementing its National Adaptation Programme. This programme, first published in July 2013, sets out the government's objectives and policies for adaptation primarily in England, addressing the risks and opportunities identified by the UK Climate Change Risk Assessment (CCRA), first published in January 2012. The ASC published an Evidence Report to inform the second CCRA in July 2016, with the key findings subsequently presented by the government to Parliament in January 2017. Several of the six priority risk areas identified by the ASC as needing urgent further action relate to residential buildings, including flooding and coastal change risks to communities, risks of shortages in the public water supply; and risks to health, well-being and productivity from higher temperatures. In 2015, the ASC produced its first statutory assessment of the National Adaptation Programme, followed by a second assessment in June 2017. These reports consider what actions are being taken to adapt to the current and future impacts of climate change across a number of sectors, and how vulnerability to climate hazards is changing over time. Both reports found that while much action is underway, it was in most cases unclear what impact those actions had had on reducing vulnerability or exposure to climate change. In 2018 and 2019, the ASC is planning to publish a series of reports focussing on long-term adaptation outcomes for different adaptation areas; land use, the coast, and housing. The housing and land-use reports will be prepared jointly with the mitigation committee. This project will feed into the adaptation analysis for the report on housing. The government is also developing its next National Adaptation Programme, due for publication in summer 2018. The ASC will evaluate this programme in summer 2019 and again in 2021. *** Please see specification for more detail *** ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/1ce8b99f-e4e9-4797-90ed-9e6555df805c | | 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 | 19 Jul 2018 | | Submission deadline | 15 Aug 2018 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 23 Aug 2018 - 11 Jan 2019 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £58,334 | | 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 - 19 Jul 2018 at 10:07 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/1ce8b99f-e4e9-4797-90ed-9e6555df805c ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/1ce8b99f-e4e9-4797-90ed-9e6555df805c 19th July 2018 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/61322461-72f4-40e0-9546-ba5cfde1d776 ITT - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/baf8ce02-451e-4239-bdc9-d47588f3c1a9 Specification - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/7affa781-bc82-4a8a-a4ba-2e32771e598a T&C's ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
