The procurement falls under the category of research and development services and related consultancy services. The tender is based in London, United Kingdom and is currently in the active stage. The deadline for tender submissions is 26th October 2022, and the contract period is set to start on 14th November 2022, lasting until 22nd March 2024. This tender by Defra offers an opportunity for businesses specializing in research and development services to contribute to measuring and valuing environmental impacts. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations are specifically encouraged to participate. The open procurement method allows a broad range of businesses to compete, aiming to develop methodologies that assess and predict the effects of chemical pollutants on the environment within the UK. Businesses with expertise in environmental sciences and regulatory compliance are well-suited to engage in this tender process and potentially expand their business through collaboration with Defra. ## Notice Background The UK has longstanding and comprehensive regulatory and monitoring regimes for priority chemicals in the environment, meanwhile research programmes both domestically and internationally have furthered human understanding of the potential harms caused by exposure to specific chemicals or groups of chemicals. The stock of existing chemicals that have not yet made their way into the environment and the development of new chemicals for use in processes and products are increasing rapidly and there is a need to better understand the overall effects and costs of damage from exposure. This is key to justifying action and determining the appropriate controls for effectively managing the risks they pose. If not managed appropriately, some chemicals can disrupt the populations of plants, animals, fungi and microorganisms in ways that can lead to ecological change. Aim To develop a methodology to measure and quantify the environmental impacts of chemical pollutants in the context of chemicals regulation within the UK. The avoided environmental damage costs from regulation can then be compared against the cost of controls. Objectives The objectives of this project are to: 1. To scope and develop a conceptual framework and methodology to measure and predict the effects of chemical pollutants on the environment. The impacts of these effects on the environment will need to be quantified and, ideally, monetised. 2. Develop methods which assess the differences in effects amongst chemical pollutants, which will support risk management and benefits monetisation of regulation. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5818f6e2-0cdc-41d8-bcfd-f76168b3de94 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 6 Oct 2022 | | Submission deadline | 26 Oct 2022 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 14 Nov 2022 - 22 Mar 2024 | | 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 | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | DEFRA NETWORK ETENDERING PORTAL | | 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 | 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 - 6 Oct 2022 at 16:50 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5818f6e2-0cdc-41d8-bcfd-f76168b3de94 - 7 Sep 2022 at 13:26 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5818f6e2-0cdc-41d8-bcfd-f76168b3de94 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5818f6e2-0cdc-41d8-bcfd-f76168b3de94 6th October 2022 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/02d65f51-46fc-4a8a-8145-3beaaadea005 n/a - https://defra.bravosolution.co.uk Link to eSourcing Portal - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/b4d0a163-7e3b-4780-8563-f1d7e28ad22a n/a ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
