This procurement falls under the Research and development services and related consultancy services category. The tender period ends on January 21, 2024, with a contract period spanning from February 6, 2024, to October 31, 2025. The procurement method is an open procedure with a minimum value of £499,999 and an actual value of £500,000. This tender opportunity created by The Committee On Climate Change is suitable for SMEs and VCSEs. Businesses interested in research and development services related to climate change adaptation would find this tender relevant. The Technical Report aims to provide an updated assessment of climate change risks and opportunities to inform national adaptation policy programmes in the UK. The report will synthesise the latest peer-reviewed literature to aid decision-making by non-technical audiences within the national Government and Devolved Administrations. ## Notice The UK Climate Change Act 2008 requires that every five years, the UK government must publish a climate change risk assessment. UK Government, and each of the 3 devolved administrations, must then create National Adaptation Programmes, including actions to address the risks in the most recent risk assessment. The Fourth UK Climate Change Risk Assessment (CCRA4) Government Report is due to be published in January 2027. As with CCRA2 and CCRA3, CCRA4 will be based on an Independent Assessment that the CCC has been commissioned by Defra to lead, described in this document as the Climate Change Risk Assessment Independent Assessment (CCRA4-IA). CCRA4-IA will be published in mid-2026. The CCRA3 Independent Assessment (CCRA3-IA) was published in June 2021. This assessment focused on development of a Technical Report (which was the basis for a range of other outputs, including national summaries and sectoral briefings) as well as supplementary research. The CCRA3-IA Technical Report covered the underlying analysis and assessment of the level of risk or opportunity from climate change to the UK as well as the latest understanding of current and future climate change in the UK. This included an urgency framework based on a review of current and future adaptation action, to aid the prioritisation of the 61 risks and opportunities identified. CCRA3-IA included greater emphasis on accessibility for the primary audience of Government and Devolved Administrations, including hosting of a UK Climate Risk website (www.ukclimaterisk.org) . As with CCRA3-IA, the CCRA4-IA will include a technical report that provides an authoritative assessment of the most up-to-date peer-reviewed literature on climate risks and opportunities to the UK, and their urgency for adaptation action over the coming five years. This report will focus on literature published since the cut-off date for inclusion of evidence in CCRA3-IA in 2021. A key aim for the CCRA4-IA will be to produce outputs that are directly usable and accessible for decision support by key, non-technical audiences - particularly for national Government officials working to develop national adaptation plans and programmes across the UK. The primary purpose of the CCRA4-IA Technical Report is to identify the range of climate change risks and opportunities to the UK and assess the urgency for action for national adaptation policy programmes. This report will seek to answer the exam question: "How has the evidence on the full range of risks that face the UK, and their urgency, continued to evolve over the last five years?" **** See Specification for further details **** ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6818def9-2bd1-4912-b48a-6587a04da5df | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | 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 | 7 Dec 2023 | | Submission deadline | 21 Jan 2024 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 6 Feb 2024 - 31 Oct 2025 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £500,000 | | 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 | THE COMMITTEE ON CLIMATE CHANGE | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South West London | | Postcode | SW1H 0ET | | 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 | TLI London | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ### Codes - 73000000 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ## Release History - 7 Dec 2023 at 11:08 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6818def9-2bd1-4912-b48a-6587a04da5df ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6818def9-2bd1-4912-b48a-6587a04da5df 7th December 2023 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/722221ea-0e70-46e7-a6a2-b20e19e62751 ITT - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/bd954a64-9b70-46a5-9855-0816cf55845c Specification - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/2d1de22c-07e1-41f1-bcf4-a84e0317d53f Annex - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/c66abce3-6c5b-425a-8cde-4bf46385a44b T&C's ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
