National Atmospheric Emissions Inventory (NAEI)

Description

The contract is the delivery of the National Atmospheric Emissions Inventory (NAEI) to generate high-quality and consistent greenhouse gas and air pollutant emissions estimates for the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero (DESNZ), the Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (Defra), the Office for National Statistics (ONS) and the Devolved Administrations in order to meet international reporting requirements and provide scientific evidence for domestic mitigation policies. The GHGI is the UK’s official record of its GHG emissions, which is a statutory requirement under the Climate Change Act of 2008, the UNFCCC and the Paris Agreement. This contract is business critical for tracking progress towards net-zero greenhouse gas emissions as mandated under the Climate Change Act 2008 and the Climate Change Act 2008 (2050 Target Amendment) Order 2019. Similarly, the AQPI is used to fulfil the UKs legal obligation to report annual emissions estimates and projections of air pollutants under the National Emissions Ceilings Regulations (NECR) 2018, and to the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) under the Convention of Long-range Transboundary Air Pollution (CLRTAP). The AQPI is business critical for Defra as it is used to track progress against legal emission reductions commitments under the aforementioned legislation. There are two lots which suppliers can bid for: 1. The Compilation and Reporting of the National Atmospheric Emissions Inventory (NAEI) - £31,125,000 excl VAT 2. Independent Assurance of the National Atmospheric Emissions Inventory - £830,000 excl VAT
