Description

This project, to be completed by February 2026, will review the readily available hazard data for several specific PFAS, required to derive thresholds for human health via consumption of fish and for the protection of aquatic life. Where sufficient relevant and reliable data is available for each of the individual PFAS considered, this will be used to derive interim thresholds for these specific PFAS using the approach outlined in the EQS (Environmental Quality Standards) guidance (EC, 2018 - Guidance No 27 - Deriving Environmental Quality Standards - version 2018.pdf). In the absence of an EQS for these substances, these interim thresholds will be used by the Environment Agency (EA) to contextualise the concentrations of these substances detected from surface water monitoring and present in discharges to water environment to help understand the potential risk associated with the concentrations detected.

All tender information MUST be submitted through the Jaggaer eSourcing Portal. Brief Description of Requirement The Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) seeks to commission a Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) call-off contract. The contract will run from December 2025, for the duration of three years with an option to extend for up to two additional years, to be taken as two separate one-year extensions (1+1).

M&E is a critical function at DESNZ, supporting the department to assess the effectiveness of policies and programmes, generate timely insights and support continuous improvement. DESNZ has a strong monitoring and evaluation culture and a high demand for M&E services. DESNZ’s Monitoring and Evaluation framework outlines the vision for comprehensive, proportionate and robust M&E activity across the Department and its partner organisations. DESNZ is responsible for delivering the making Britain a Clean Energy Superpower mission, one of the Government’s 5 missions outlined in the Plan for Change. Rapid and timely M&E will be crucial for helping us to understand what works in delivering this mission. This reinforces the need for a responsive, rapid commissioning route for M&E. Given the breadth of DESNZ’s policy portfolio and the pace at which evidence is often required, there is a consistent need for flexible, rapid access to high-quality M&E expertise. DESNZ is seeking to contract a supplier or a consortium who can provide expert input on the methodological and practical sides of M&E as it applies to DESNZ. The M&E call-off contract will be a critical mechanism to commission high-priority, small-scale M&E projects across a wide range of policy areas and departmental priorities. It will offer a flexible and responsive route to produce timely insights that inform policy design, programme delivery and strategic decision-making. This call-off contract is intended to complement in-house analytical capability and larger bespoke procurements for programme specific evaluations, by providing an agile and proportionate route to commissioning a broad range of small-scale, time-sensitive M&E projects. It will be particularly well suited to deliver rapid evidence reviews, scoping studies, methodological pilots and fast paced primary data collection.

FCP: E.L.M Payment Rate Developments/Payment Rate Verification

The Authority would like to commission services for E.L.M Payment Rate Developments/Payment Rate Verification. The purpose of commissioning external delivery partners for the calculation and verification of payment rates is to ensure payment rates provide an accurate reflection of how farming or land systems are affected. This involves the Authority having access to specialist skills in different agricultural and ecological areas. Because payment calculations are concerned with the technicalities of farming systems, the programme wishes to commission bespoke ad hoc research projects to improve understanding of agricultural processes and how different farming systems may be affected by different payment designs. It is essential that the Supplier has good knowledge of the landscape of farming and land systems in England, the costs and revenues involved, and the assumptions behind them. A working knowledge of ecological practices of AES activities, costs, access to expertise in organics, marginal farming systems, and farming in protected landscapes. is required.
