This procurement is currently in the tender stage, with submissions due by 21 February 2019. The contract is set to commence on 1 March 2019 and will last until 31 October 2019, covering various delivery addresses including the United Kingdom and British Overseas Territories.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialised in sustainability and environmental consultancy. Companies that provide innovative strategies for sustainability, particularly those experienced in aligning with UN Sustainable Development Goals, are well-suited to compete for this contract. As the government aims to enhance its environmental efforts and resilience against climate change, businesses capable of delivering impactful solutions can play a crucial role, thereby positioning themselves for growth in the growing market for environmental services. ## Notice The Government's 25 Year Environment Plan and UK climate change predictions both highlight the need to act now and act quickly to lessen our environmental impact and increase our resilience to a changing climate. This includes protecting our country's biodiversity and the beneficial social aspects a good environment bring. It is vital for our reputation and the work we do that we deliver improvements, not only reducing our impact, but optimising opportunities too. By looking at this, we also increase our resilience against areas such as resource scarcity, increased costs and the impact of extreme weather events. The goal of this procurement is to support the creation of an innovative sustainability strategy with defined targets to 2030 that represents the Environment Agency's role as an industry leading organisation in protecting and enhancing the environment and supporting sustainable development, utilising our unique position to deliver real environmental, social and economic benefits. The Strategy will be fit to address the scale and urgency of global sustainability issues, setting itself in the context of emerging mega-trends and aligning with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and build on the Environment Agency's current environmental strategy 'e:Mission' successes.
