## Description
The objective of this procurement is to procure two contracts to enable Defra to conduct a programme of work to improve Defra’s understanding of the composition of mixed waste from households and from businesses. The first contract is the most significant and will involve 1) designing, carrying out and reporting on a programme of primary data collection, 2) carrying out research to understand the drivers of waste composition and, based on this, developing a model for updating data in years where primary data collection is not carried out and 3) conduct research to review and recommend near-market approaches to measuring the composition of waste that might make routine waste composition analysis more affordable in the future. The second contract is for a quality assurance auditor for item 1) of the first contract.
