Brief Description of Requirement
BEIS is looking for a contractor or contractors to gather UK non-nuclear radioactive discharges data and then write an official report on behalf of UK government for submission to an international audience. The gathered data must be analysed and processed into reporting templates (this entails the application of good data management practices (data quality checking, data verification and data sorting) as well as identifying whether discharges can reach an OSPAR maritime region).

The UK is a Contracting Party of the Convention for the Protection of the Marine Environment of the North-East Atlantic (the OSPAR Convention). Under the OSPAR Convention the UK is obliged to submit data from the non-nuclear sector (and nuclear sector but this is dealt with separately) on an annual basis. This requirement is contained within the OSPAR Radioactive Substances Strategy where it commits the OSPAR Commission to annually collect data on discharges from the non-nuclear sector. The UK is signed up to the OSPAR Convention (North-East Atlantic Environment Strategy 2030, NEAES2030 and so regular reporting is required in order to review progress towards the targets of the Radioactive Substances Strategy
