The contract was awarded on 31st March 2020 and has a execution period from 1st April 2020 to 30th November 2020. It was procured through a selective method as a call-off from an existing framework agreement, with the tender having concluded on 6th March 2020.

The scope for collaboration with industrial partners proposing major capital construction projects further enhances business growth potential in this sector.

## Notice

*** THIS IS NOT A CALL FOR COMPETITION *** This contract has been awarded against CR150025 BIS Research & Evaluation Framework, LOT 5. The Smart Sustainable Plastic Packaging Challenge (SSPP) will be funding large Demonstrator Projects (consisting of collaborations of industrial partners proposing PS30-40m capital construction projects) to meet the objectives of the Challenge to resolve the issue of plastic packaging waste (see below Section 4 background). During the selection process of these Demonstrator projects an important consideration will be the potential environmental impact of the project if it is successful and the innovation is adopted at scale, namely that it is lower than the current state-of-the-art. Innovate UK (IUK) is proposing to engage an external contractor(s) to conduct / assist in conducting this evaluation. The implication for IUK in implementing this external contracting is to make available skill sets (environmental impact assessment and life cycle analysis) not available internally and to provide a degree of external and independent assessment. This requirement is not related to any other purchasing requirement at this stage. Aims & Objectives The aim of the tender process is to access skill sets (environmental impact assessment and life cycle analysis) not available internally and to provide a degree of external and independent assessment. These skill sets required will be to evaluate projects to assess the: * Accuracy and validity of environmental impact data supplied by projects during the application phase * Overall Environmental impact of the project if successfully implemented at scale compared to the current state-of-the-art * Any additional environmental impacts (and risks) not identified by the project
