## Summary

The Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (Defra) has concluded the contract under the title "Evidence synthesis on coastal and marine-based approaches to engineered greenhouse gas removal." This procurement falls under the "Research and development consultancy services" industry category (CPV code 73200000) and covers multiple locations including British Oversea Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, the Rest of the World, and the United Kingdom. The procurement stage was at the Award stage with the contract awarded to the University of Exeter. The contract surrounding this tender started on 7th August 2024 and is set to conclude on 31st January 2025, with a total value of £49,998.804. The procurement method was a call-off from a framework agreement, making it a selective tender process.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses engaged in research and consultancy on environmental and regulatory issues, especially those focusing on greenhouse gas removal technologies. SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) are notably encouraged to participate, making it an attractive option for smaller and socially-driven businesses seeking to expand their reach and impact. The project aims to synthesise existing literature and regulatory links, informing future policy decisions and setting the stage for continued research, creating ample opportunities for firms specialising in environmental science, policy advisory, and regulatory consultancy.

## Notice

This project is to bring together existing published and grey literature on a selection of priority mCDR approaches, alongside exploration of regulatory links to the LC/LP and some brief work to look at terminologies to build a shared taxonomy for science and regulatory work. It will deliver advice on regulatory implications and links of the specified approaches to inform an LC/LP meeting later this Autumn, alongside a briefing for ministers. The evidence synthesis will be reported to enable an initial Defra position to be developed around the environmental risks of these technologies, setting us up for future follow-on work to continue to understand these risks (and opportunities).
