## Summary

The Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (DEFRA) has awarded a contract for the investigation into the Efficiency of the Current Municipal Waste Incineration. The procurement process was initiated as a tender and the procurement method was limited with a competitive quotation (below threshold). The contract period is from 1st September 2023 to 26th April 2024. The procurement stage was an award, and the tender period ended on 3rd March 2023. The industry category for this tender is Sewage, refuse, cleaning, and environmental services, and the location is specified as 17 Smith Square, London, SW1P 3JR.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses involved in environmental services to engage with DEFRA and contribute to research on waste incinerators. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are particularly well-suited to compete in this tender. The tailored nature of the procurement method, which includes a competitive quotation process, allows suitable businesses to showcase their expertise in the field. The contract is set to create business growth opportunities for successful bidders looking to expand their services in the environmental sector.

## Notice

This research project aims to establish the POP destruction efficiency of municipal waste incinerators. This is relevant given Defra's current position, based on the Basel Convention technical guidelines , that municipal waste incinerators (MWIs) are an appropriate disposal route for waste containing brominated flame retardants (BFRs), and that there are no significant adverse impacts on the environment from this disposal route (either via emissions to air or the residues produced).
