The Committee On Climate Change
Scoping study to assess the resilience of the UK's cold supply chain to rising and extreme temperatures
This sits in the upper-middle of the Research & Development band — a substantial contract for the sector. Based on 20,405 valued Research & Development tenders in our corpus.
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…
What the supplier must deliver
The WA report aims to provide
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 of the areas we are assessing
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
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.
A scoping study to develop the evidence
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.
