## Summary

The procurement process for the "Defra Environmental Noise Modelling Design and Build Framework" is being undertaken by the Defra Network eTendering Portal, located in London, England. This tender falls within the industry category of IT services and focuses on delivering a noise monitoring methodology in line with legal obligations in the UK. The tender period concluded on 12 October 2020, and the contract will commence on 30 November 2020, running until 30 November 2024. The procurement method employed is an open procedure, ensuring wider participation from potential suppliers.

This opportunity presents significant growth potential for businesses, particularly those specialised in IT services, consulting, software development, and noise pollution management. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) can particularly benefit from this tender, as the framework allows for a variety of public bodies to commission services, thereby expanding the scope for contracts and collaborations in the sector. The ability to work closely with the Defra on such an impactful project can enhance the reputation and capabilities of competing businesses.

## Notice

The output requirement of the framework is to appoint a supplier that Defra will work with to develop a new noise monitoring methodology for England that may be adopted by Devolved Administrations and other Authorities. The subsequent implementation of this methodology should enable the UK to meet its legal obligation to complete the next round of noise mapping by 2022 and populate the 25 Year Environment Plan Indicator. Without the award of this framework and subsequent Contract award Defra will not meet its regulatory obligations as set out in UK Law and EU, this poses a risk of regulatory divergence from EU law. The output of the resulting contracts is for an environmental noise model enabling scenario and retrospective modelling covering road and rail transport sources at a strategic national level in England. This includes the ability to post-process the generated noise levels spatially in a manner which will be able to incorporate industrial and airport noise level data generated external to this model (to be made available in a common format, e.g. ascii or shapefile). The solution will enable subsequent analysis of noise data from all four noise sources and in particular with population data, in line with existing legal obligations.
