## Summary

The Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) is conducting a tender titled "Toward an accurate estimate of wasted peat GHG emissions in England." This procurement falls under the category of ground investigation services and is taking place in the United Kingdom. Currently in the active tender phase, proposals must be submitted by 7th February 2020, after which the project is set to commence on 1st April 2020 and continue until 30th April 2023. The procurement method utilised is an open procedure, allowing a wide range of participants to submit their bids.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses involved in scientific research and environmental consultancy, particularly those with expertise in greenhouse gas emissions analysis and soil investigations. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are particularly encouraged to apply, as this tender is suitable for them, making it an advantageous opportunity for specialised firms that can deliver innovative solutions related to the environmental impacts of peat usage.

## Notice

The project will provide updated research evidence on the net greenhouse gas emissions from soils described as "wasted peat" in England, that is to say soils which used to match the definition of peat (an organic soil layer greater than 40cm) but that no longer match this definition because of losses through intensive use. To develop these new emissions factors, the project will mainly fund the acquisition of new field measurements (soil survey and more intensive continuous measurements on a subset of sites, with techniques such as eddy-covariance or eddy accumulation). It will also fund a systematic review of evidences to integrate those results with the other evidence available by the end of the project. For background information, the full specification and further information on this project please see the ITT.
