This initiative falls under the research services sector, aimed at enhancing resource efficiency within vital UK industries including construction, chemicals, and metals. The tender is currently in the active stage and follows an open procurement method, with a submission deadline set for 28th November 2017. The resulting contract is due to commence on 11th December 2017 and will run until 31st March 2018, with opportunities available for delivery across various locations including the UK and overseas territories. This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses engaged in research and development consultancy, environmental services, and related sectors. Companies that excel in material efficiency studies or have expertise in the construction, chemical, and metals industries are particularly well-suited to compete. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate, as the procurement process is designed to foster inclusivity and engage diverse bidders to drive innovation in resource use efficiency. ## Notice The construction, chemicals, (including plastics) and metals sectors are very important parts of the UK economy. Research into resource use efficiency over the last 10 or so years has repeatedly found that the three sectors offer significant opportunities for improvements in material efficiency. However, a key data gap is how the 'size of the prize' varies within each of the three sectors, in economic and environmental terms and how the barriers and appropriate role of policy is helping to realise those opportunities. This work will necessitate close engagement with the construction, chemical and metals sub-sectors, but there is an information gap that only publically funded work can fill. The overall aim, to identify the sub-sectors with the greatest opportunities for more efficiency with material use, the potential economic and environmental benefits and costs.
