This tender falls under the Research and Development Services and Related Consultancy Services category (CPV Code: 73000000) and is primarily focused on assessing adaptation efforts related to climate change hazards in urban areas. The tender period is set to close on 12 January 2018, with a total value of £37,500. The contract is expected to commence on 26 January 2018 and will run until 22 June 2018. The procurement method for this contract is an open procedure, allowing for broad participation. This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in climate change research, urban planning, and environmental consultancy. Firms with expertise in evaluating adaptation measures or those with innovative solutions for urban resilience are particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to apply, making this a valuable opportunity for agile firms looking to expand their portfolios in the public sector. ## Notice The ASC has a statutory duty to report to Parliament with an independent assessment of the UK government's progress in implementing its National Adaptation Programme. This programme, published in July 2013, sets out the government's objectives and policies for adaptation primarily in England, addressing the risks and opportunities identified by the UK Climate Change Risk Assessment (CCRA), first published in January 2012. The ASC published an Evidence Report to inform the second CCRA in July 2016, with the key findings subsequently presented by the government to Parliament in January 2017. Several of the six priority risk areas identified by the ASC as needing urgent further action relate to cities, including flooding and coastal change risks to communities, businesses and infrastructure; risks of shortages in the public water supply; and risks to health, well-being and productivity from higher temperatures. In 2015, the ASC produced its first statutory assessment of the National Adaptation Programme, followed by a second assessment in June 2017. These reports consider what actions are being taken to adapt to the current and future impacts of climate change across a number of sectors, and how vulnerability to climate hazards is changing over time. Both reports found that while much action is underway, it was in most cases unclear what impact those actions had had on reducing vulnerability or exposure to climate change. In 2018, the ASC is planning to publish a series of reports focussing on long-term adaptation outcomes for different geographical areas in England; cities, rural areas, and the coast. The rural and cities reports will be prepared jointly with the mitigation committee. This project will feed into the adaptation analysis for the report on cities. However, if the initiatives or projects covered by this research have practical lessons for how adaptation and mitigation goals can be considered and achieved together, these lessons should also be drawn out. The government is also developing its next National Adaptation Programme, due for publication in summer 2018. The ASC will evaluate this programme in 2019 and again in 2021. The ASC is considering whether to make any changes to its assessment framework to evaluate the degree of progress in climate change adaptation in England. As well as informing any amendments the ASC makes to its assessment framework, this work could also inform the next National Adaptation Programme. *****Please see specification for more information***** Additional information: Bids should be sent in time in time for receipt by 5 pm on 12 January 2018. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/23c1d672-2462-407a-b5e8-3f62cbfebf7c | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 21 Dec 2017 | | Submission deadline | 12 Jan 2018 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 26 Jan 2018 - 22 Jun 2018 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £37,500 | | 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 | THE COMMITTEE ON CLIMATE CHANGE | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South West London | | Postcode | SW1W 8NR | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI33 Kensington & Chelsea and Hammersmith & Fulham | | Local authority | Kensington and Chelsea | | Electoral ward | Royal Hospital | | Westminster constituency | Chelsea and Fulham | | 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 - 21 Dec 2017 at 11:23 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/23c1d672-2462-407a-b5e8-3f62cbfebf7c ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/23c1d672-2462-407a-b5e8-3f62cbfebf7c 21st December 2017 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/a59272a6-d6c8-423f-8117-052530ebf8eb ITT - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/d3f55baa-6828-4042-8e13-52ea7c5c91a4 Specification - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/915b2c69-4517-4d21-ae51-9b900fa6c482 T&C's ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
