This contract, classified under research and development consultancy services (CPV 73200000), aims to develop a national programme to quantify wastewater process emissions. The procurement was conducted through a selective method as a call-off from a framework agreement. Key dates include the end of the tender period on 28 October 2024, the start of the contract on 4 November 2024, and the conclusion on 31 March 2025. The service locations covered by this project include the UK, British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Isle of Man, Europe, and other international regions. The total contract value is GBP 65,377. This tender creates significant business opportunities, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), as noted by the procurement's suitability criteria. Businesses specializing in research and development consultancy services, particularly those with expertise in environmental impact assessments and emissions quantification, would find this tender well-suited to their capabilities. The project supports opportunities for growth by addressing a crucial environmental issue, which may lead to future collaborative efforts and new contracts within the water industry and related environmental sectors. The awarded contract was given to Jacobs UK Ltd, illustrating a strong precedent for firms experienced in delivering comprehensive consultancy services. ## Notice We want to take forward a key recommendation from the Defra funded greenhouse gas (GHG) Measures project (B2068802-PAP-01) and recommendations in the UK Water Industry Research (UKWIR) Process Emissions Optimisation project that calls for a national programme to quantify wastewater process emissions along with greater coordination across the water industry to support far more accurate wastewater process emission estimates. Currently, the water industries own Carbon Accounting Workbook (CAW) v17 is judged to significantly underestimate GHG emissions and does not include wider emissions from sewerage, biosolids to land or nature-based solutions. We need a scoping project to better understand the costs (both capital and revenue/maintenance) and scale of the work required to create a national quantification programme that and helps develop a programme of work to improve the quantification of GHG emissions overall. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c5bad79b-52ec-4a6b-b117-fd9c422d51e3 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Framework | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Call-off from a framework agreement | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | SME | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 27 Dec 2024 | | Submission deadline | 28 Oct 2024 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 16 Dec 2024 | | Contract period | 4 Nov 2024 - 31 Mar 2025 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £65,377 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £65,377 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | DEPARTMENT FOR ENVIRONMENT, FOOD & RURAL AFFAIRS | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South West London | | Postcode | SW1P 3JR | | 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 | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | JACOBS | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ### Codes - 73200000 - Research and development consultancy services ## Release History - 27 Dec 2024 at 09:39 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c5bad79b-52ec-4a6b-b117-fd9c422d51e3 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c5bad79b-52ec-4a6b-b117-fd9c422d51e3 27th December 2024 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
