## Summary

The Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) has initiated an open tender for the restriction of hazardous substances in electrical equipment. The tender, classified under "Refuse and waste related services" (CPV code 90500000), focuses on providing expert scientific, technical, and socio-economic analysis to evaluate applications for exemptions to the RoHS Regulations. The procurement process is currently at the active tender stage, with submissions due by 12:00 on 30th January 2025. The contract is valued at £650,000 and includes an option for a 12-month renewal. Potential suppliers should refer to the Defra Network eTendering Portal for submission details and further communication.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses skilled in environmental consultancy, regulatory compliance, and socio-economic analysis. Companies with strong organisational experience, capability, and resources, alongside specialised expertise in evaluating hazardous substances, will be well-suited to this opportunity. As this project involves appraising EU regulatory decisions, firms with experience in EU regulations and submissions, particularly those capable of detailed scientific and technical analysis, stand the best chance of competing successfully. The procurement encourages engagement from both large enterprises and SMEs, making it a valuable prospect for business growth and expansion within the environmental services sector.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

Defra requires expert scientific and technical advice and socio-economic analysis expertise to undertake the evaluation of applications for exemptions to the RoHS Regulations. Expertise is also required to appraise EU decisions on applications made to the European Commission before the end of the Transitional Period for which "transitional provisions" are set out in The Hazardous Substances and Packaging (Legislative Functions and Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020 which avoid the need for separate applications to be made for those exemption requests to apply in Great Britain.

Options: Option to extend contract for a period of 12 months.

Renewal: Option to extend for 12 months
