Description

There's likely to be a significant increase in the amount of work in the Environment Agency's EU ETS Installations team, starting in the second half of financial year 2018/19. This is because we will be starting our preparation for Phase IV of EU ETS, involving a large scale data collection exercise, where we will collect a range of data required to determine operators' free allocations of allowances. We would expect this activity to last for approximately one year. At the same time, we will be continuing our front line business as usual activities to deliver our statutory duties, however there are some unknowns about the future
implementation of the regime because of EU Exit. Therefore, we require the flexibility of having additional
resource to deliver our business as usual activities, and / or the data collection exercise, without increasing our overall headcount. Therefore, we are seeking to source up to four full time equivalents (FTE) to provide the additional resource.

We will let this contract to a single contractor or multiple contractors proposing candidates with the necessary experience, skills and capacity to successfully occupy a maximum of four FTEs. Suppliers bidding for this requirement may propose one or more candidates in their submissions. The candidates must complete the majority of work at the Environment Agency's Richard Fairclough House office in Warrington.

The deliverables include auditing and the provision of reports.
