Brief Description of Requirement
UK Shared Business Services Limited (UK SBS) on behalf of the Climate Change Committee (CCC) invite you to this Request for Proposal for a Technical Report to support the Fourth UK Climate Change Risk Assessment (CCRA4).
This project will develop the CCRA4-IA Technical Report to be delivered to the CCC by 1st October 2025 and to be published in mid-2026. This report will seek to answer the following question: How has the evidence on the full range of risks that face the UK, and their urgency, continued to evolve over the last five years? This report will seek to update the CCRA3-IA Technical Report to include the most up-to-date understanding of UK climate change risks and opportunities.
Project tasks
The following section outlines the key tasks the successful supplier will be expected to complete. Bids should propose approaches for the completion of each task and provide a programme for delivery including key milestones.
This project will involve the following nine tasks:
1. Agree and implement a plan for co-developing the analysis and outputs with key stakeholders.
2. Review the use of CCRA3-IA Technical Report information in national adaptation programmes across the UK.
3. Review the set of CCRA3 risks and opportunities and refine the CCRA urgency scoring for the "more action needed" category.
4. Conduct an open call for evidence to feed into assessment of the risks and opportunities.
5. Conduct an initial review of all risks and opportunities against available new evidence to identify a sub-set for full urgency scoring application.
6. Conduct a detailed assessment for a selected subset of risks, using the full CCRA4 urgency scoring.
7. Develop the interim version of the assessment, working with key stakeholders to ensure all outputs are drafted in alignment with their accessibility needs.
8. Publish an interim version of the report for community review.
9. Revision and finalisation of the CCRA4-IA Technical Report.
