Pipeline Framework: Effectiveness of Water Treatment Processes in the Removal of EDCs

A pipeline has been launched for Effectiveness of Water Treatment Processes in the Removal of EDCs.The contract start Date is 20 July 2022. Approach to market date is 20 March 2024.Overview of RequirementThe aim of this research project is to evaluate the efficacy of water treatment processes in the removal of endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) bisphenol-A (BPA), 17-beta-estradiol (E2) and nonylphenol (NP), in addition to EDCs from the camphors, parabens and phthalate ester groups of chemicals (as highlighted in Annexe 1).The efficacy of treatment processes for EDCs will be achieved through sampling and analysis of raw and partially treated water.This is a potential opportunity from the government, and the pipeline gives advance notice of an opportunity that might be offered by the public sector in the future – allowing potential suppliers to plan accordingly. When a public sector organisation publishes a pipeline notice, it does not necessarily mean that an opportunity will be offered in the future.For more information contact: Defra Network eTendering Portal, Nobel House, 17 Smith Square, London SW1P 3JR.
