## Summary

Defra (Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs) is conducting a tender for the "Restriction of Hazardous Substances in Electrical Equipment - Exemption Reviews". This procurement falls under the industry category of refuse and waste-related services, and it encompasses locations including the British Overseas Territories, the Channel Islands, Europe, the Isle of Man, the Rest of the World, and the United Kingdom. The procurement is currently in the tender stage, with the process being an open procedure above the threshold. Key dates include the tender deadline on 30th January 2025 at 12:00 PM, and the contract period scheduled to start on 1st April 2025 and end on 31st March 2028.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for growth for businesses with expertise in scientific, technical, and socio-economic analysis, particularly those familiar with the Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Regulations. Given the scale and complexity of the project, SMEs are particularly encouraged to apply, making it a viable option for smaller enterprises looking to expand their portfolio and gain experience by working with a major governmental department. Businesses suited for this tender are those capable of providing expert advice on exemptions to the RoHS regulations and appraising EU decisions, contributing to the evaluation of applications pertinent to Great Britain’s environmental regulatory framework.

## Notice

Defra requires expert scientific and technical advice and socio-economic analysis expertise to undertake the evaluation of applications for exemptions to the RoHS Regulations. Expertise is also required to appraise EU decisions on applications made to the European Commission before the end of the Transitional Period for which "transitional provisions" are set out in The Hazardous Substances and Packaging (Legislative Functions and Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020 which avoid the need for separate applications to be made for those exemption requests to apply in Great Britain.
