This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in research and consultancy related to chemical regulation and environmental protection.

The project’s focus on varying regulatory criteria and its implications for UK businesses enhances its relevance, making it an appealing opportunity for firms looking to expand their influence in the regulatory consultancy sector.

## Notice

The aim of the project is to increase Defra's understanding of worldwide regulatory regimes for chemicals used across markets, to inform decision making post EU-Exit. As the owner of UK government policy on chemical regulation, this study will be used by Defra to inform future UK policy on chemical regulation in areas where we have the scope to set our own policy, as well as to understand the impact of differing approaches to chemical regulation on likely future trade negotiations. The study should include high-level analysis of the different assessment criteria used under each chemical regime, how this can affect businesses in the UK, and an overview of the efficacy of different chemical regimes in protecting human health and the environment.
