## Summary

The Climate Change Committee (CCC), located in London, has initiated a contract titled "BE24084 Projections of Climate Risks, Their Societal Impact and Cost, And the Cost and Effectiveness of Adaptation Measures for Heat in The Urban Built Environment." This procurement belongs to the research and development services industry and involves services. Managed by the UK Shared Business Services Limited (UK SBS), the focus is on assessing heat risks in urban areas and finding adaptation measures to mitigate these risks. The contract, valued at approximately GBP 299,793.50, was awarded on 17th July 2024 to Ove Arup & Partners Limited, a large-scale supplier based in London. The procurement process followed an open procedure and has been completed. The work is part of preparing the Fourth UK Climate Change Risk Assessment (CCRA4) Government Report due in January 2027.

This tender opens up significant opportunities for firms specialising in environmental impact assessments, urban planning, and climate risk analysis. Businesses that excel at providing innovative solutions for urban heat risk management and possess strong technical expertise and resources will find this an ideal contract to compete for. The project aims to develop comprehensive analyses that consider both risk and adaptation interventions, providing a robust foundation for future urban planning and policy-making. Companies that can deliver collaborative, data-driven insights and work well with decision-makers to create cost-effective adaptation strategies will highly benefit from this tender.

## Notice

UK Shared Business Services Limited (UK SBS) on behalf of the Climate Change Committee (CCC) invite you to this Request for Proposal for Projections of Climate Risks to Health and Health Services from Extreme Heat: Their Societal Impact and Cost, And the Cost and Effectiveness of Adaptation Measures. The UK Climate Change Act 2008 requires that every five years, the UK government must publish a Climate Change Risk Assessment (CCRA). The Fourth UK Climate Change Risk Assessment (CCRA4) Government Report is due to be published in January 2027. As part of CCRA4, the CCC will be developing a new output to complement the Technical Report as produced in previous CCRAs. This output - to be known as the 'Well-adapted UK report' (WA report) - will focus on the potential for key aspects of the UK adaptation challenge to reduce the climate risks threatening the achievement of key UK policy and societal outcomes and hence set out a vision for aspects of a well-adapted UK. This WA report will be informed by a set of commissioned, bespoke analysis projects, in-house CCC analysis and wider external evidence. The analysis will need to be developed collaboratively with decision makers and consider both risk and adaptation interventions as systemically as possible, while focusing on delivering social and economic analysis and evidence at appropriate spatial scales. This project will focus on heat risks to the urban environment. Urban environments and their occupants are likely to be at particular risk of future heat impacts. Urbanisation exacerbates the risk of overheating hazards through the urban heat islands effect, and increases exposure, due to increases in population densities and numbers of built environment assets.
