## Summary

The Department for Environment Food & Rural Affairs has awarded a contract for the project titled "Assessment of value of chemical content management to UK Circular Economy". The procurement falls under the category of Research and Development Consultancy Services and has a value of £32,314. The procurement method used was selective, calling off from a framework agreement. The award was made to Wood Group UK Ltd, with the contract period running from 16th September 2022 to 24th March 2023.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses involved in research and development consultancy services to engage with the Department for Environment Food & Rural Affairs in improving the understanding of circular chemical resource use. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) would be well-suited for this opportunity, given the focus on influencing outcomes and investments related to waste and secondary materials management under the UK government strategies for resources, waste, and chemicals in the circular economy.

## Notice

"The Circular Economy has been estimated to be worth from PS9-29 billion and 10,000-175,000 jobs by 2030 depending on initiatives adopted for its success. There currently exists a misalignment between chemicals legislation and the goals of developing circular economy policies that risks significant uncertainty in the chemical safety and compliance of secondary materials, as well as locking contaminants into a circular economy. As the UK further implements its own new and revised chemical regulatory regimes, understanding both the value of circular chemical resource use and preventing legacy chemical presence is a critical opportunity. An improved evidence base is needed to influence outcomes and investment under the Government's Resources and Waste Strategy and the development of a Chemicals Strategy for a Circular Economy. This project is for a study to bring together available data and value of options in the management of the chemical content of waste and secondary materials. The report and data can support EA regulatory activities and strategic plans, including influencing the implementation of the Governments new chemical strategy. It can also provide a basis for better engagement with industry for investment on predictable outcomes from reuse, recycling and recovery, including decisions on the end of waste."
