## Summary

The Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) has awarded a contract titled "Noise and Statutory Nuisance – Ad-hoc Technical Support" under the industry category of noise-control consultancy services (CPV code: 71313100). This contract has been procured through an open procedure and focuses on providing specialist technical input for Defra's Noise and Statutory Nuisance Policy and Evidence Teams. The contract was awarded on 17th December 2024 and will commence on 6th January 2025, running for an initial term of four years with an option to extend for up to three further years. The contract's total value is £1,750,000, and the location of delivery is within the UK.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in technical support and consultancy in areas such as road and rail traffic noise, aviation, light, odour, smoke, and environmental vibration. SMEs and other firms with expertise in noise consultancy, artificial light engineering, and related environmental nuisances would be well-suited for competition, given the broad scope of the required services. Furthermore, the contract allows for subcontracting, providing additional opportunities for smaller firms to participate in specific areas of expertise. This tender not only offers potential financial gains but also the chance to contribute to the improvement of national environmental policies and practices.
