## Summary

The procurement process involves the Environment Agency under the Defra Network eTendering Portal, with the title "EU Emissions Trading System (ETS) - Resource Contract". This contract falls within the environmental auditing industry and is located in the North West region of the United Kingdom. The procurement stage has concluded with the contract award dated 22nd October 2018. The tender period for submissions ended on 7th August 2018, and the contract is set to last until 31st March 2019, with a total contract value of £164,000. The procurement was conducted via an open procedure, aiming to source up to four full-time equivalents (FTE) to assist in data collection for the EU ETS implementation.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses, particularly those small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community sector enterprises (VCSEs) which provide staffing resources and environmental auditing services. Companies with expertise in environmental data collection and auditing would be well-suited to engage in this process. Suppliers capable of delivering flexible resource teams to assist with regulatory compliance and reporting are likely to find this contract beneficial, particularly as it allows for collaborative bids from multiple suppliers.

## Notice

There's likely to be a significant increase in the amount of work in the Environment Agency's EU ETS Installations team, starting in the second half of financial year 2018/19. This is because we will be starting our preparation for Phase IV of EU ETS, involving a large scale data collection exercise, where we will collect a range of data required to determine operators' free allocations of allowances. We would expect this activity to last for approximately one year. At the same time, we will be continuing our front line business as usual activities to deliver our statutory duties, however there are some unknowns about the future implementation of the regime because of EU Exit. Therefore, we require the flexibility of having additional resource to deliver our business as usual activities, and / or the data collection exercise, without increasing our overall headcount. Therefore, we are seeking to source up to four full time equivalents (FTE) to provide the additional resource. We will let this contract to a single contractor or multiple contractors proposing candidates with the necessary experience, skills and capacity to successfully occupy a maximum of four FTEs. Suppliers bidding for this requirement may propose one or more candidates in their submissions. The candidates must complete the majority of work at the Environment Agency's Richard Fairclough House office in Warrington. The deliverables include auditing and the provision of reports. Additional information: This contracting opportunity was advertised on the Defra portal below, with submissions due Tuesday, 7 August 2018.
