Description

The final date and time for the submission of bids is Tuesday 23rd July 2024 at 14:00. DO NOT apply directly to the buyer. All tender information MUST be submitted through the Jaggaer eSourcing Portal. Brief Description of Requirement UK Shared Business Services Limited (UK SBS) on behalf of the Climate Change Committee (CCC) invite you to this Request for Proposal for Projections of Climate Risks to Health and Health Services from Extreme Heat: Their Societal Impact and Cost, And the Cost and Effectiveness of Adaptation Measures. The UK Climate Change Act 2008 requires that every five years, the UK government must publish a Climate Change Risk Assessment (CCRA). The Fourth UK Climate Change Risk Assessment (CCRA4) Government Report is due to be published in January 2027. As part of CCRA4, the CCC will be developing a new output to complement the Technical Report as produced in previous CCRAs. This output - to be known as the 'Well-adapted UK report' (WA report) - will focus on the potential for key aspects of the UK adaptation challenge to reduce the climate risks threatening the achievement of key UK policy and societal outcomes and hence set out a vision for aspects of a well-adapted UK. This WA report will be informed by a set of commissioned, bespoke analysis projects, in-house CCC analysis and wider external evidence. The analysis will need to be developed collaboratively with decision makers and consider both risk and adaptation interventions as systemically as possible, while focusing on delivering social and economic analysis and evidence at appropriate spatial scales. This analysis will feed in the evidence base for understanding the climate resilience of UK farmed landscapes, with a focus on adaptation interventions that can reduce climate risks to these landscapes whilst supporting agricultural productivity, nature recovery and providing wider societal and ecosystem benefits. This analysis will look to: -Project and cost the expected climate impacts experienced across representatives of UK farmed landscapes (e.g. upland, lowland and coastal) from temperature and rainfall changes (including extremes) and drought in the 2030s and 2050s, including impacts on nature and agricultural productivity, without increased adaptation ambition. -Evidence the scale of benefits (climate risk reduction) and the cost effectiveness of adaptation interventions within farmed landscapes to secure food production and enhance nature and provide wider societal and ecosystem service benefits. Assess the main co-benefits and trade-offs of these adaptation interventions. -Build a national scale scenario of cost-effective adaptation out to the 2050s.

This analysis will feed in the evidence base for understanding the climate resilience of UK farmed landscapes, with a focus on adaptation interventions that can reduce climate risks to these landscapes whilst supporting agricultural productivity, nature recovery and providing wider societal and ecosystem benefits. As farmed land covers over 70% of the UK and produces around 50% of food that we eat, adaptation on farmland represents an important element of ensuring the UK is resilient under a changing climate. This analysis will explore the cost and effectiveness of adaptation interventions within farmed landscapes that will address climate risks to food production and habitats, whilst also providing wider ecosystem and societal benefits. Specifically, the analysis will then look to assess some of the main co-benefits and trade-offs from the different uses and pressures placed on farmed landscapes in the context of a changing climate, and what a cost-effective and holistic adaptation response might look like. The Environmental Land Management Schemes (ELMs) covering England, initially started in 2022. Similar schemes are in development in the devolved administrations. This analysis will look to inform a set of recommendations and policy-relevant outcomes, which could be incorporated into land use decisions at a national and landscape scale, and in developing Agri-environment policy. This analysis will look to: -Project and cost the expected climate impacts experienced across representatives of UK farmed landscapes (e.g. upland, lowland and coastal) from temperature and rainfall changes (including extremes) and drought in the 2030s and 2050s, including impacts on nature and agricultural productivity, without increased adaptation ambition. -Evidence the scale of benefits (climate risk reduction) and the cost effectiveness of adaptation interventions within farmed landscapes to secure food production and enhance nature and provide wider societal and ecosystem service benefits.
