The procurement, classified under research consultancy services and environmental issues consultancy services, is currently in the active tender stage and is expected to conclude by the end of January 2020. Proposals must be submitted by midday on 29th November 2019, and the project aims to ensure a comprehensive assessment of emissions reporting capabilities, guiding future improvements. The contract is budgeted between £8,000 and £12,000 GBP, with the procurement method being an open procedure below threshold. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses that specialise in research consultancy, particularly those with expertise in environmental issues and data methodology. Smaller businesses and voluntary, community, and social enterprise organisations (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate, as the contracting authority has indicated a preference for contributions from SMEs. Companies equipped to handle rigorous research projects and engage with varied environmental reporting standards will find this tender particularly relevant for business growth and impact within the UK’s emissions landscape. ## Notice WWF is a science-based organisation and wishes to base its actions on the best available and up-to-date evidence. While emission reporting has existed for many years, it could still be considered in an early stage of development. Limited attention has been given to the development of a universal measurement system, and those that have existed have tended to lack credibility. Methodologies differ across sectors and companies, creating sets of figures which are meaningless in isolation. To this end, WWF wishes to contract a suitably experienced party that can co-ordinate a research paper that assesses the current capabilities (or lack thereof) of emission reporting in the UK. This paper will be used to create awareness and drive system change in the area(s) of Greenhouse Gas reporting. The project will need to be completed by end of January 2020. WWF will be available to help throughout in order to develop a strong methodological approach within a short timeframe.
