The final date and time for the submission of bids is Wednesday 15th May 2024 at 14:00. DO NOT apply directly to the buyer. All tender information MUST be submitted through the Jaggaer eSourcing Portal. Description of Requirement 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. There is limited existing research on the impacts of heat across the UK and how adaptation actions can reduce impacts. This project will aim to answer the following questions: • What are the scale and costs of current and future impacts on heat-related mortality, morbidity and impacts from heat on health and social care service delivery, particularly on those most vulnerable in society? • What kind of adaptation interventions are the most cost-effective for reducing these health-related impacts of extreme heat and to what scale can they be deployed across the country by the 2030s and the 2050s?
