The procurement falls under the research and development consultancy services category and focuses on exploring new mitigation technologies and innovations in line with decarbonisation objectives. The tender is currently in the open stage with a tender period ending on January 12, 2024. The contract period is set to start on February 1, 2024, and end on January 31, 2027. This procurement opportunity by Defra offers potential for business growth to companies specializing in research and development consultancy services, environmental issues consultancy services, and agricultural, farming, fishing, forestry, and related products. Small and medium-sized enterprises are particularly suited to compete, given the suitability criteria. The tender provides a chance for businesses to contribute to sustainable intensification in agriculture and align with clean growth objectives set by the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero. ## Notice The Delivering Clean Growth through Sustainable Intensification (CGSI) project has been critical in developing a rigorous, evidence-based decarbonisation pathway for agriculture that demonstrates compliance with the 5th and 6th carbon budget (CB) periods. This work directly informed development of the Carbon Budget Delivery Plan (Department for Energy Security and Net Zero, 2023) and planning for Sustainable Farming Incentive (SFI) standards. In preparation for the legal establishment of CB7 (2038 to 2042) it is time to refresh and update the evidence of the CGSI. We propose that this refresh looks to build on the successes of CGSI by filling evidence gaps around currently unquantified or exploratory measures in the CBDP, identify new mitigation technologies and innovations, refresh the trajectory in preparation for CB7, and explore potential for a long-term service agreement to test and implement evidence-based policy decisions. In advance, the successful contractor will receive a list of the unquantified/exploratory measures (also found in the published Net Zero growth plan), but also encouraged to explore other alternative emerging solutions. The refresh should adopt and enforce Maximum Technical Potential (MTP), ensuring the MTPs given for each measure are robust and credible. (MTP represents the maximum carbon savings that would be possible if we ignore limitations of cost, logistics and other non-market barriers). In reality the effective potential will be significantly lower or take longer than 30 years to deliver (i.e., not necessarily contributing to the 2050 target). https://atamis-9529.my.site.com/s/Welcome ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/fc857686-ee5c-438f-aa5e-26e7fb28cd84 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (above threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 12 Dec 2023 | | Submission deadline | 26 Jan 2024 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 14 Feb 2024 - 13 Feb 2027 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £1 | | 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 | DEPARTMENT FOR ENVIRONMENT, FOOD AND RURAL AFFAIRS (DEFRA) | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South West London | | Postcode | SW1P 4DF | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI35 Westminster and City of London | | Local authority | Westminster | | Electoral ward | St James's | | Westminster constituency | Cities of London and Westminster | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 03 - Agricultural, farming, fishing, forestry and related products - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services - 90 - Sewage, refuse, cleaning and environmental services ### Codes - 03000000 - Agricultural, farming, fishing, forestry and related products - 73000000 - Research and development services and related consultancy services - 73110000 - Research services - 73200000 - Research and development consultancy services - 90713000 - Environmental issues consultancy services ## Release History - 12 Dec 2023 at 09:48 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/fc857686-ee5c-438f-aa5e-26e7fb28cd84 - 7 Dec 2023 at 10:21 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a0ee184f-fb35-43a1-a914-5e6472c4b312 - 29 Nov 2023 at 12:19 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b443696a-daa2-40e8-82dd-1f800c1c39c6 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/fc857686-ee5c-438f-aa5e-26e7fb28cd84 12th December 2023 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a0ee184f-fb35-43a1-a914-5e6472c4b312 7th December 2023 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b443696a-daa2-40e8-82dd-1f800c1c39c6 29th November 2023 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - https://atamis-9529.my.site.com/s/Welcome ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
