This open procurement process is classified within the Research and Development Services industry and is based in London, United Kingdom. Key dates include a tender submission deadline of 24th September 2018, with the contract period running from 15th October 2018 to 31st January 2020. The project has a value of £240,000 and falls under the open procurement method, specifically the open procedure below threshold. This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses, particularly those with expertise in climate research, risk assessment, and environmental consultancy. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are well-suited to compete, especially those that can conduct innovative research and address the complex interactions between climate risks and socio-economic factors. By engaging with this tender, suitable businesses can contribute to vital national adaptation strategies and foster partnerships with government agencies and stakeholders in the climate resilience sector. ## Notice The second CCRA (CCRA2) was published in 2017 and was supported by a comprehensive Evidence Report from the Adaptation Sub-Committee (ASC). Defra and the devolved administrations are in the process of drafting updated national adaptation programmes in response to the risks and opportunities set out in the report. The third CCRA will be published by the government in January 2022, and Defra have asked the ASC to produce an accompanying Evidence Report by summer 2021.To inform this Evidence Report the ASC are commissioning six research projects, funded by Defra, the devolved administrations and the research councils. The ASC has been engaging with relevant stakeholders (e.g. researchers, funders, academies) with a view of addressing key evidence gaps from the CCRA2 report on a variety of timescales. The scientific literature is also being reviewed to identify work that may already exist in these areas. Effective adaptation cannot be undertaken without careful consideration of the cross-cutting nature of risks, and trade-offs or synergies between adaptation activities. Unless cross-cutting issues are considered, actions could be ineffective, sub-optimal in terms of their costs and benefits, or lead to unintended consequences. Climate change risks act together to impact upon natural capital, water security, food security, wellbeing, economic prosperity and ultimately global security. For example water security risks interact strongly with those affecting the natural environment (mainly through soil condition and biodiversity). How water is managed in the future will have implications for agricultural production, public health and wellbeing, natural capital and infrastructure service provision. Understanding how risks interact is also critical for assessing the overall costs and benefits of policy intervention. This understanding enables policy makers to understand how to achieve desired outcomes at least cost and avoid unintended consequences. The first CCRA undertook a detailed and systematic mapping exercise to identify how particular risks create cascading impacts across different sectors. For example, a flood can cause direct damages to buildings, but also have knock-on effects on people's mental health, on business continuity and on supply chains. Identifying cascading effects between the natural environment, built environment and infrastructure was identified as a key evidence gap in CCRA2. The current evidence on interacting risks was considered in the chapter for the 2016 Evidence Report on cross-cutting issues. The work here highlighted that there are significant evidence gaps in our understanding of what the most important types of interactions are. This research project will provide a much more detailed assessment, systematically assessing the links and cascading effects between the different sectors in specific locations by using latest systems models and considering societal interactions. ** See Specification for more detail *** ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/0a1b4a4e-62e9-467d-a521-96a9d528c46b | | 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 | 31 Jul 2018 | | Submission deadline | 24 Sep 2018 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 14 Oct 2018 - 31 Jan 2020 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £240,000 | | 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 - 31 Jul 2018 at 10:35 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/0a1b4a4e-62e9-467d-a521-96a9d528c46b ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/0a1b4a4e-62e9-467d-a521-96a9d528c46b 31st July 2018 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/d8ca98ce-139f-4139-9826-a1fc87c7bcad ITT - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/2268a57d-c8b7-41ea-89a8-5145276e731d Specification - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/89c49ae9-2e5a-4045-942b-662ac372050d T&C's ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
