The procurement, titled "C084/2024/2025 - Environmental Governance, Principles and Biodiversity Targets Bill – Regulatory Impact Assessment," involves conducting a regulatory impact assessment for policy options related to environmental governance and biodiversity targets in Wales. The contract was awarded on 8th October 2024 to The Young Foundation, a supplier based in London, with a final value of £99,709. This contract, now in the 'Award' stage, required a detailed analysis of potential policy options, cost-benefit analysis, and the development of an explanatory memorandum for Welsh Ministers, with key inputs following HM Treasury Greenbook guidance. This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in economic and environmental analysis, particularly those with experience in regulatory impact assessments. The work involves reviewing and expanding upon draft assessments, making it well-suited for organisations familiar with public policy and sustainable development. Firms with a strong background in quantitative and qualitative analysis, especially in the context of legislative proposals and sustainable environmental practices, would find this procurement a valuable prospect for growth and demonstrating their expertise in supporting governmental policy development. The project's scope and the emphasis on economic, social, and environmental benefits over a 25-year period present an extensive opportunity for impact in the public sector. ## Notice Short description: The Welsh Government sought a contractor with experience in cost-benefit and economic analysis to undertake an RIA for the policy options outlined within the white paper and the consultation response, "Securing a Sustainable Future Environmental Principles, Governance and Biodiversity targets for a Greener Wales".This work will build upon the draft RIA that was produced to accompany the White paper, and will inform the development of the Explanatory Memorandum for Welsh Ministers. This would include analysis of the 'do nothing/business as usual' option which would act as a baseline against which to assess the relative costs and benefits of the alternative options.In summary, the requirements will be:* Review the previously produced draft regulatory impact assessment, including the options appraisal and cost-benefit analysis.* Further develop analysis to reflect monetary costs in line with HM Treasury Greenbook guidance, showing in costs in constant prices (i.e. excluding general price inflation), with the base year and appraisal period clearly identified (both of which to be agreed shortly after contract award).* Present net-cost calculation for each option. Sunk costs and transfer payments should be identified but excluded from the net cost calculation.* To the extent feasible, quantify and monetise the anticipated benefits to society arising from the legislative proposals, considering the economic, social (including health) and environmental benefits for a 25 - year period.* To use, where available, standardised methodologies to quantify the associated benefits. Present the net present value of each policy proposal based on identified costs and benefits.* Identify unquantifiable costs and benefits in the RIA and, where necessary, provide a qualitative description of the likely scale of their impact.* Reflect these findings in a report that will be used as the basis for completing part 2 of the Bill's explanatory memorandum ahead of introduction to the Senedd, ensuring the report meets the tests set out paragraph 26.6 (viii) and (ix) of the Standing Orders of the Senedd and follows established templates ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Sell2Wales | | Latest notice | https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/search/search_switch.aspx?ID=145904 | | Notice type | S2W Notice - Website Contract Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 8 Nov 2024 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 8 Oct 2024 | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £99,709 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Not specified | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | LLYWODRAETH CYMRU / WELSH GOVERNMENT | | Locality | CAERDYDD / CARDIFF | | Post town | Cardiff | | Postcode | CF10 3NQ | | Country | Wales | | ITL 1 | TLL Wales | | ITL 2 | TLL5 South East Wales | | ITL 3 | TLL52 Cardiff and Vale of Glamorgan | | Local authority | Cardiff | | Electoral ward | Cathays | | Westminster constituency | Cardiff South and Penarth | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | THE YOUNG FOUNDATION | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 90 - Sewage, refuse, cleaning and environmental services ### Codes - 90710000 - Environmental management - 90720000 - Environmental protection ## Release History - 8 Nov 2024 at 11:47 - Award - S2W Notice - Website Contract Award Notice - https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/search/search_switch.aspx?ID=145904 ## Notice URLs - http://gov.wales ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
