What is being bought
The overarching PFAS Risk Screening Project, now in its fourth phase, aims to assess and tackle the risks arising from a group of “forever chemicals” which are contaminating soil, groundwater and surface waters and pose a risk to human health. Increasing awareness of the widespread presence of PFAS in environmental media has heightened regulatory concerns about their potential risks to human health and the environment. A recent evidence review by the EA has identified large data gaps in relation to the uses, sources, and mass emissions of PFAS in the UK. This report recommends further research and investigative work to evaluate the sources, both current and legacy, that are contributing to the widespread nature of this family of contaminants.
This objective of this procurement is to source up to three services contracts with a consultant(s) who can deliver the following Work Packages:
WP2 - Lot 1. Development of Best Practice Guidance
WP3 - Lot 2. Detailed Assessment of Potential PFAS Problem Sites:
o In-depth desk studies of x10 highlighted problem sites
o Site investigation of x1 prioritised site (Grosvenor Chemicals)
WP4 - Lot 3. Economic Appraisal

- Lot 1 · #1WP2 - Lot 1. Development of Best Practice GuidancecancelledPublished valueNot publishedThe primary objective is to develop a reference guide aimed at those involved in the regulation of sites of concern due to the impact, or potential impact, from PFAS and associated chemicals. Staff can refer to the guide when faced with sites highlighted under voluntary schemes, regulatory regimes, or pollution incidents. The guide will provide background to the problem, the nature and characteristics of these chemicals, and the tailored approach necessary to best assess the risk, apply regulatory controls and ultimately implement mitigation measures (if necessary). The step-by-step guide will adopt the classic land contamination evaluation approach, indicating how at each stage of site assessment the site evaluation strategy should be conducted when considering contaminants of this nature.Contract periodNot publishedEligibilityNot publishedOptions / renewalNot published
- Lot 2 · #2WP3 - Lot 2. Detailed Assessment of Potential PFAS Problem SitescancelledPublished valueNot publishedThis work package includes two separate but linked activities which are to be combined under a single Lot. The first component relates to delivering a series of desk studies for sites of concern. The second involves progressing one of these desk studies, where historic evidence has already led to formal site determination and designation under Part 2A of the Environmental Protection Act 1990, into an intrusive site investigation.Contract periodNot publishedEligibilityNot publishedOptions / renewalNot published
- Lot 3 · #3Economic AppraisalcancelledPublished valueNot publishedTo build on the outputs of Phase 3 which, using the results generated by the GIS model, aimed to categorise and quantify the number of potential problem PFAS sites across England. To assess the recommendations from this Phase 3 task, and develop an approach and ultimately deliver a report, detailing the nature of the PFAS problem across the Country together will a mechanism for deriving costs to highlight the financial scale and burden of the problem.Contract periodNot publishedEligibilityNot publishedOptions / renewalNot published
