The tender is in the planning stage, with an engagement end date set for February 7, 2024, and a delivery location in London, United Kingdom. This opportunity by The Committee On Climate Change is well-suited for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise organisations (VCSEs). The aim of the tender is to provide independent advice to the UK government on climate change risks and opportunities, focusing on developing effective systemic adaptation scenarios. Businesses involved in research and consultancy services related to climate change resilience and adaptation would find this tender particularly relevant. ## Notice The Climate Change Committee (CCC) is an independent, statutory body established under the 2008 Climate Change Act. It is tasked with: * Providing independent advice to the Government on risks and opportunities to the UK from climate change, in part through the UK Climate Change Risk Assessment, and reporting to Parliament on progress in adapting to climate change. * Providing independent advice to Government on setting and meeting carbon budgets in line with the UK's longer-term target to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to net zero by 2050 and reporting to Parliament on the progress made. To do this, we conduct independent analysis into climate science, economics and policy, and engage with a wide range of organisations and individuals to share evidence and analysis. Our past reports are available here. The UK Climate Change Act 2008 requires that every five years, the UK government must publish a Climate Change Risk Assessment (CCRA). The CCRA seeks to provide an authoritative and up-to-date assessment of the risks and opportunities facing the UK from climate change and the adaptation actions that need to be put in place across society to ensure that the UK is well-placed to manage these risks. The Fourth UK Climate Change Risk Assessment (CCRA4) Government Report is due to be published in January 2027. As with CCRA2 and CCRA3 it will be based on an Independent Assessment that the CCC has been commissioned by Defra to lead; this will be published in mid-2026. As part of CCRA4, the CCC will be developing a new output to complement the Technical Report as produced in previous CCRAs. This output - to be known as the 'Well-adapted UK report' (WA report) - will focus on the potential for key aspects of the UK adaptation challenge to reduce the climate risks threatening the achievement of key UK policy and societal outcomes and hence set out a vision for aspects of a well-adapted UK. The WA report aims to provide a policy-relevant evidence base on effective systemic adaptation scenarios, their costs and benefits (and how these are distributed across society). It aims to use this information to establish a resilience standard against the risks modelled for key societal systems and establish the investment requirements to meet this standard. The report will be tailored to best inform the development of effective actions in the next set of national adaptation programmes from governments across the UK (covering the late 2020s and early 2030s). It also seeks to provide a more spatial and quantitative representation of UK climate risks and adaptation, an improved understanding of the potential for cascading climate risks, and their interactions with other key policy priorities such as delivering Net Zero. *** See attached for more details *** ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4c7a3a25-1851-4e78-afc7-1332c1170be4 | | Notice type | Planned Procurement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 17 Jan 2024 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 7 Feb 2024 | | 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 | THE COMMITTEE ON CLIMATE CHANGE | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South West London | | Postcode | SW1H 0ET | | 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 | TLI London | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ### Codes - 73000000 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ## Release History - 17 Jan 2024 at 10:46 - Planning - Planned Procurement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4c7a3a25-1851-4e78-afc7-1332c1170be4 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4c7a3a25-1851-4e78-afc7-1332c1170be4 17th January 2024 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/86fec061-8f13-4d65-9ef7-48054037e20a ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
