This tender falls under the environmental services industry category and is located within the United Kingdom. The current procurement stage is open, with a tender period ending on 22nd November 2018. The contract is anticipated to commence on 3rd December 2018 and last until 31st March 2019. The method of procurement is an open procedure, which allows wider participation from various suppliers. This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses focusing on environmental services, particularly those capable of measuring and analysing waste crime interventions. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, as the procurement explicitly identifies suitability for them. Businesses equipped with technological and analytical capabilities to gather granular data on waste crime would be well-positioned to compete effectively for this contract. ## Notice Waste crime costs the UK an estimated PS300m to PS800m a year. Rogue operators undercut legitimate business, evade landfill tax, and have a negative impact on people and the environment. It has been described as the new narcotics and is attracting serious and organised criminal gangs due to its lucrative nature and favourable enforcement regime (compared to other illicit trades such as drugs) To establish which interventions work best the EA needs a measure of waste crime that is de-coupled from its enforcement effort, and eliminates (as far as possible) the 'dark figure'. The measure also needs to have more 'granularity' than the macro-economic estimates of hundreds of millions of pounds.
