This competition aims to develop solutions to reduce harmful ammonia emissions from agricultural practices, particularly focusing on technologies that prevent emissions, extract ammonia, or reduce its deposition. Located in Wales (UKL), the current tender is in the active stage with a submission deadline of 5th January 2024, and the contract period extending from 7th February 2024 to 7th February 2025. The open procedure is being utilised as the procurement method, inviting electronic submissions and allowing variants in proposals. This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in environmental technology, pollution control, and sustainable agriculture. Companies with existing prototypes for reducing ammonia emissions or those capable of demonstrating cost-effective and scalable solutions will find this competition particularly beneficial. Businesses experienced in scientific testing and validation, especially those in collaboration with academic and research institutions, will be well-suited to compete. The successful implementation of these innovations can lead to direct financial benefits for farmers and contribute positively to environmental sustainability, positioning participating businesses as leaders in agricultural pollution reduction. ## Notice The aim of this competition is to develop products or services that can help reduce harmful pollutants in the atmosphere resulting from agricultural practices that generate ammonia, including from anaerobic digestion. ### Lot Information Lot 1 This is a phase 2 competition aimed at demonstration therefore applicants are required to have an existing working prototype of their technology which is in operation on preferably more than 1 farm or agricultural business in Wales. Applicants will also need to demonstrate that their technology takes into account potential pollution swapping and cost effectiveness for farmers. Your solution must either prevent emissions of ammonia, extract it from the air or reduce deposition onto sensitive habitats. This can include demonstrating, piloting, testing and validation of new, emerging or improved products, processes or services in relevant environments. The primary objective is to validate ammonia emissions reductions in products, processes or services that are near-to-market. Your phase 2 project must: -Assemble a robust evidence pack that demonstrates ammonia emissions reductions. For example, proposed technology will demonstrate reduction of ammonia emissions by 20% for the duration of the project/experiment at the farm level. Evidence packs are of a standard suitable for consideration by the UK Air Quality and Greenhouse Gas inventories requirements. -Applications are expected to include sufficient capability and capacity to assemble the testing and validation evidence. Ideally, project applications will include scientific/academic subcontractors who have the required experience and facilities to undertake necessary site and laboratory testing and evaluation. -Demonstrate that the technology takes into account potential pollution swapping. Pollution swapping should be investigated, described and mitigated. Please include measurable effects on Greenhouse Gas such as carbon and methane emissions, as well as phosphorous. -Evaluate cost effectiveness for farmers for the implementation of the proposed technology. The costs to farmers and government should be proportionate to the benefit. In other words, if it reduces emissions only marginally it shouldn't be very expensive. The solution should show significant benefits for farmers. This competition is seeking innovations that would be financially self-sustaining, i.e. the direct on-farm benefit to the farmer is greater than the costs. It will be important for the applicants to set out the expected on-farm benefits as part of their commercialisation road-map. -List side effects and their mitigation. Account for potential disadvantages of the proposed technology implementation in Wales. For example, floating slurry storage covers tend to be blown to the side due to strong winds in some areas. Some flowing covers are impractical to rearrange back as they cover deep slurry lagoons. This dramatically reduces measure's effectiveness. -Comply with current Welsh and UK legislation, particularly with The Water Resources (Control of Agricultural Pollution) (Wales) Regulations 2021 -Work closely with potential users and customers to collect and record their feedback Additional information: More information found in the attached briefs ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/039817-2024 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 10 Dec 2024 | | Submission deadline | 5 Jan 2024 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 10 Dec 2024 | | Contract period | 7 Feb 2024 - 7 Feb 2025 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Cancelled | | Lots status | Cancelled | | Awards status | Unsuccessful | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | SBRI | | Locality | WREXHAM | | Post town | Llandudno | | Postcode | LL13 7TD | | Country | Wales | | ITL 1 | TLL Wales | | ITL 2 | TLL3 North Wales | | ITL 3 | TLL34 Flintshire and Wrexham | | Local authority | Wrexham | | Electoral ward | Brynyffynnon | | Westminster constituency | Wrexham | | Delivery location | TLL Wales | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 24 - Chemical products - 90 - Sewage, refuse, cleaning and environmental services ### Codes - 24413000 - Ammonia - 90715000 - Pollution investigation services - 90740000 - Pollutants tracking and monitoring and rehabilitation services ## Release History - 10 Dec 2024 at 17:04 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/039817-2024 - 3 Nov 2023 at 12:29 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/032585-2023 ## Notice URLs - https://sdi.click/sbriammonia ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
