This opportunity is classified under the CPV code for research and development services and related consultancy services, and it is located in Bristol, England. The engagement end date for this tender is set for 1st October 2018, with interested parties required to register their interest via email by this deadline. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in scientific writing, editing, or consultancy services. Companies with experience in producing technical documents, such as research summaries, consultation documents, and reports, will find this tender particularly beneficial. Additionally, organisations with expertise in communicating complex scientific information to diverse audiences could leverage this opportunity to collaborate with the Environment Agency and contribute to vital environmental initiatives. ## Notice The Environment Agency are seeking to identify a number of scientific editors and writers to support their writing needs. Most of the writing we do is to inform or to instruct, whether to businesses, internal audiences, other government departments or the general public. The information can be complex, technical or scientific, but it is vital that it is written in a way which our readers can understand and so helps us achieve our environmental outcomes. We are looking for a small number of flexible technical editors who can work confidently across a range of environmental research subjects. The editorial work includes producing in-depth scientific reports for the academic sector and other bodies which provide the evidence base for our decisions, as well as consultation and decision documents aimed at the public. We require people with a strong track record in science editing, proofreading and copywriting, across a range of products, such as: * research summaries * research reports * technical and literature reviews * consultation documents At times, we also enlist the support of technical editors who use their expertise to help us communicate less technical outputs to more general audiences. This can include corporate documents, engagement materials or business plans. Editors must be educated to degree level and/or possess a postgraduate degree (MSc or PhD), or have relevant postgraduate experience in chemistry, biology, geography, geology, hydrology, nuclear regulation or flood and coastal risk, or other related environmental subjects. If you are interested in participating for this requirement, please register your interest by sending an email to: eira.coles@environment-agency.gov.uk by 10am on Monday, 1st October 2018. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/cf123099-8c5b-43c0-bf2f-17e6ed12beb6 | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 14 Sep 2018 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 1 Oct 2018 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | 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 | Planning | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | ENVIRONMENT AGENCY | | Locality | BRISTOL | | Post town | Bristol | | Postcode | BS1 5AH | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK5 West of England | | ITL 3 | TLK51 Bristol, City of | | Local authority | Bristol, City of | | Electoral ward | Hotwells and Harbourside | | Westminster constituency | Bristol Central | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services - 77 - Agricultural, forestry, horticultural, aquacultural and apicultural services - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 73000000 - Research and development services and related consultancy services - 77000000 - Agricultural, forestry, horticultural, aquacultural and apicultural services - 79000000 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ## Release History - 14 Sep 2018 at 15:04 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/cf123099-8c5b-43c0-bf2f-17e6ed12beb6 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/cf123099-8c5b-43c0-bf2f-17e6ed12beb6 14th September 2018 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/aaca7963-b3f5-4938-91f1-46502da36325 Science editors and writers EOI ## Notice URLs - https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/environment-agency ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
