## Summary

The public procurement process for the contract titled "Analysis of PFAS in TULAC" was managed by the Environment Agency alongside the Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) in the United Kingdom. This tender, falling under the industry categories of research and environmental services, was intended to find a contractor to analyse PFAS in TULAC products. Located in London, the procurement process was conducted through an open, below-threshold competition. The tender process was active until 29th July 2025 but concluded without an award on 5th August 2025 after the sole bidder did not meet the required technical thresholds.

This procurement presents opportunities for businesses involved in research and environmental services, particularly those with expertise in chemical analysis and method development. Given the focus on analysing chemical content, companies with robust technical capabilities and innovative research methodologies are well-suited to participate in such tenders. Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) and Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprises (VCSEs) are also encouraged, as the procurement process acknowledges the potential contributions of these organisations in sectors concerning sustainability and comprehensive project management.

## Notice

We are looking for a contractor to develop a robust and reliable approach to analyse TULAC products for PFAS, acting as the next step to bringing the results of the method(s) as close to the 'true' PFAS content within the TULAC sample as possible.
