The Committee On Climate Change - Scoping study to assess the resilience of the UK's cold supply chain to rising and extreme temperatures
Status: Open
Published Date: 17/04/2024
Closing Date: 16/05/2024
Value: £80,000
Scoping study to assess the resilience of the UK's cold supply chain to rising and extreme temperatures - The CCC is currently collecting evidence and preparing its advice for the Fourth Climate Change Risk Assessment (CCRA4), due for publication in 2026. This will look to assess the risks the UK faces today and in the future, and assess adaptation actions that can be taken to reduce these risks. As part of CCRA4, we will be developing a new output to complement the Technical Report, as produced in previous CCRAs and assesses the range of risks and opportunities facing the UK from climate change and the urgency for adaptation in the next five years. This output - to be known as the 'Well-adapted UK report' (WA report) - will focus on the potential for key adaptation actions 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. The WA report aims to provide a policy-relevant evidence base on effective systemic adaptation scenarios, their costs and benefits (and how these are distributed across society) and the investment needs to deliver on them. One aspect of the WA report will consider the resilience of particularly critical sectors in the UK, and to inform these assessments we are commissioning analysis to assess the required level of resilience to minimise future rising risks associated with climate change, including quantification of a cost-optimal level of resilience. One of the areas we are assessing in depth is the resilience of cold supply chains in the UK. We would like to better understand how climate change could disrupt the UK's supply of essential goods that rely on a temperature-controlled supply chain. Specifically, we are interested in assessing the exposure, vulnerability, and resilience of the UK cold chain to temperature related climate hazards and evaluating cost optimal adaptation measures for the sector. We anticipate that the scale and complexity of the UK's cold supply chain will be difficult to analyse effectively in its entirety, so we propose developing a 'component analysis' which looks in depth at a range of tangible 'parts' of the supply chain to help build a national level picture of risk exposure and paths to resilience. We will be commissioning this research in two parts. The purpose of this specification is to commission Part 1 - a scoping study to develop the evidence base through a 'component analysis' covering a range of specific 'parts' of the cold supply chain which would be assessed in detail in a potential follow-on study (Part 2 - to be commissioned separately following completion of this scoping study). **** See Specification for more detail ****

Climate Change Committee - BE24104 - Adapting UK's Farmed Landscape LAN Deep Dive
Status: Open
Published Date: 17/04/2024
Closing Date: Unknown
Value: neg.
BE24104 - Adapting UK's Farmed Landscape LAN Deep Dive - The Climate Change Committee (CCC) is an independent, statutory body established under the Climate Change Act 2008. Our purpose is to advise the UK and devolved governments on emissions targets and to report to Parliament on progress made in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and preparing for and adapting to the impacts of climate change.    The UK Climate Change Act 2008 requires that every five years, the UK government must publish a Climate Change Risk Assessment (CCRA). The CCRA seeks to provide an authoritative and up-to-date assessment of the risks and opportunities facing the UK from climate change. The Fourth UK Climate Change Risk Assessment (CCRA4) Government Report is due to be published in January 2027. As with CCRA2 and CCRA3 it will be based on an Independent Assessment that the CCC has been commissioned by Defra to lead; this will be published in mid-2026. As part of CCRA4, the CCC will be developing a new output to complement the Technical Report. This output - to be known as the 'Well-adapted UK report'- will aim to set out a vision of what a well-adapted UK could look like, and the investment requirements to reach it. This will go on to support the development of effective actions in the next set of national adaptation programmes from governments across the UK. The 'Well-adapted UK' report will be informed by a set of commissioned, bespoke analysis projects, in-house CCC analysis and wider external evidence. The proposal outlined below will form one of the commissioned projects to inform this report. We expect this analysis to go out to tender in May 2024 and is due to be completed by summer 2025, to feed into CCRA4 in 2026. Potential project This piece of analysis will look to explore climate risk and adaptation in the UK's farmed landscapes with a focus on the adaptation interventions that can reduce climate risks to these landscapes, whilst also providing wider ecosystem and societal 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's is resilient under a changing climate. However, there remains a lack of analysis - at a national and local scale - that explores the cost and effectiveness of adaptation interventions within farmed landscapes that will address climate risks to food production and support nature targets, whilst also providing wider ecosystem and societal benefits. The working draft of an 'exam question' for this analysis will be: 'For 3 contrasting land use archetypes (upland, lowland and coastal) assess what adaptation interventions can cost effectively reduce climate impacts to farmed landscapes and support UK food production, whilst meeting legally binding nature restoration targets'.

THE FINANCIAL REPORTING COUNCIL LIMITED - Research Services : Research on UK Defined Contribution Pension Scheme Default Investment Strategies
Status: Awarded
Published Date: 16/04/2024
Closing Date: 26/02/2024
Value: £54,000
Research Services : Research on UK Defined Contribution Pension Scheme Default Investment Strategies - ***THIS IS CONTRACT AWARD NOTICE*** The Financial Reporting Council (FRC) regulates auditors, accountants and actuaries and sets the UK's Corporate Governance and Stewardship Codes. We seek to promote transparency and integrity in business; our work is aimed at investors and others who rely on company accounts, audit, and high-quality risk management. The FRC sets and regularly reviews Actuarial Standard Technical Memorandum 1: Statutory Money Purchase Illustrations ("AS TM1"). AS TM1 specifies the assumptions and methods to be used in the calculation of statutory illustrations of retirement income from 'money purchase' pensions, also known as 'defined contribution' (DC) pensions. AS TM1 requires these illustrations to use assumptions that differ depending on the volatility of the funds in which the DC pension is invested. For a UK Defined Contribution ('DC') pension scheme the selection of the default investment strategy that is offered to scheme members is one of the most important decisions for pension scheme decision-makers. This is because many/most scheme members will follow the default strategy, particularly individuals without the financial knowledge and/or confidence to make an active choice. UK DC schemes typically use a form of 'lifestyle' strategy for the default fund, whereby the investment strategy for an individual changes over time depending on how far away they are from retirement age. We understand there are a wide range of different types of 'lifestyle' strategy used by UK pension funds. We have commissioned this research in order to better understand the strategies used, to inform our policy-making activities in relation to the assumptions and methods as set out in AS TM1. This research project is separate from the current review of the accumulation rate assumptions in AS TM1 v5.0 which was consulted on in November 2023; rather it is intended to inform and support the FRC's longer term strategy and decision-making in relation to AS TM1. This research project will involve data collection and analysis to provide information on the default investment strategies currently offered by UK DC pension schemes, noting that common practice for default DC investment strategies has evolved, particularly since 'pension freedoms' were introduced in 2015. This data and analysis will support the FRC in setting actuarial standards that are appropriate for the current environment of UK DC pension schemes. • The project's core objective is to understand the nature of the various default investment strategies provided to UK scheme members and provide the FRC with statistically significant data on this. • As a second objective, we are also seeking an understanding of why those strategies are provided to scheme members. The FRC does not anticipate bids exceeding £54,000 incl. VAT. ***THIS IS CONTRACT AWARD NOTICE - THIS TENDER OPPORTUNITY IS CLOSED***
