The project aims to consolidate research on historic coastal landfill sites in England to assess risks from flooding and erosion, propose mitigation methodologies, and identify funding sources. The procurement method is an open procedure below the threshold with a tender deadline of 20th October 2023. The contract period is set to start on 21st November 2023 and end on 5th August 2024. This tender offers business growth opportunities for enterprises involved in social research services, particularly those specialized in environmental risk assessment and coastal management. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organizations are encouraged to participate. By engaging in this tender, businesses can contribute to national efforts to address environmental risks, thereby potentially expanding their market presence and collaborations within the public sector. ## Notice The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) are commissioning a project to consolidate previous and current research into the potential issues relating to historic coastal landfill sites. The output will provide an update and robust current national picture of the scale and the levels of risk posed by flooding and/or erosion at Historic Coastal Landfill (HCL) sites in England, to the environment and local communities. The project will also propose a set of methodologies that can be used by local responsible authorities and partners to prioritise action and identify funding sources to take forward. The aim of this project is to undertake a national assessment to identify the current national picture of the scale and the levels of risk from HCL sites in England, to inform future action. This project will provide Government and Local Authorities with a clear and up to date understanding of the scale of the national risks posed by HCL sites in England. This will include the potential consequences and impacts to people, the economy, and the environment from the risk of flooding and/or coastal erosion. The project will propose robust methodologies to enable those responsible to prioritise and enable action, where necessary, to mitigate these risks. To achieve this, the project will review existing evidence, prioritisation criteria and methodologies to identify any gaps to enable the prioritisation of sites requiring the most urgent action. This must include an assessment of the impact of coastal erosion and flooding on HCL sites in the future. The project will also provide a legislative review and produce proposals for identifying the appropriate action, including financing options. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/cd622e8e-713e-4b7d-96c5-e3eb5a34a35b | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 6 Oct 2023 | | Submission deadline | 20 Oct 2023 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 21 Nov 2023 - 5 Aug 2024 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | 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 & RURAL AFFAIRS (DEFRA) | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South West London | | Postcode | SW1P 3JR | | 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 - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 79315000 - Social research services ## Release History - 6 Oct 2023 at 13:10 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/cd622e8e-713e-4b7d-96c5-e3eb5a34a35b ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/cd622e8e-713e-4b7d-96c5-e3eb5a34a35b 6th October 2023 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/a2db0cd8-6e1e-4d0a-998a-405df4e11c65 ITT_C21263 - V1.0 - FINAL 061023 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
