Alongside this, Defra also published a call for evidence on commonly littered and problematic plastic items. Defra want to commission support to analyse answers received in response to these two Publications - consisting of both closed and open questions with 'free text'. Responses need to be analysed while the consultations are live - as the responses come in. The Supplier will then have a further 4 weeks after these Publications close to finish analysing the responses and produce a final report for each publication by close of 11th March 2022. This is to ensure a government response to the Publications is published promptly. Additional information: Direct Award through the Defra owned Management Consultancy Call off contract - Lot 1
