## Summary

The UK government department Defra is conducting a public procurement contract for the project "UK REACH - Establishing and refining the information requirements for transitional registration proposals and assessing the feasibility and impacts" in the research and development services category. The procurement stage is currently active, with the tender deadline set for 19th September 2022. The contract period will run from 30th September 2022 to 1st May 2023, with delivery addresses in London, United Kingdom.

This tender for the UK REACH project presents opportunities for businesses, particularly in the research and development services sector, to engage with the UK government. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations are encouraged to participate. The procurement method is an open procedure below threshold, aimed at reducing industry costs while maintaining the core principles of the REACH regulation.

## Notice

On 1 January 2021, the UK Government put in place a domestic chemicals' regulatory regime, which included UK REACH. UK REACH retains both the fundamental approach and key principles of the EU REACH regulation, with its aims of ensuring a high level of protection of human health and the environment. These principles include the "no data, no market" principle, the "last resort" principle on animal testing, access to information for workers, and the precautionary principle. The aim of the project is to build on the work done by Defra, HSE, and EA outlined above by refining the information requirements of the UK REACH ATR Model and testing its viability and impacts. This will allow us to make evidence-based judgements on the impacts and practicability of the UK REACH ATR Model, in comparison to the current approach, in order to achieve the right balance of reducing industry costs whilst maintaining the core principles of REACH.
