Standards Development Services

WRAP is conducting preliminary market engagement to understand supplier capability for Standards Development services, with an anticipated Invitation to Tender in October 2026. This is a single contract (non-lotted) covering two delivery phases. The engagement was conducted in two stages: an initial Request for Information (RFI V1) followed by a revised RFI (V2) to refine questions and gain detailed market insight. Scope of Services: - Draft, edit, review, and refine standards, specifications, and technical guidance documents - Conduct product screening Life Cycle Assessments (LCAs) and develop comparator LCAs - Update existing eligibility screening tools and associated calculations - Translate technical content into clear, user-accessible written materials - Manage stakeholder engagement, consultation processes, and feedback incorporation - Manage review cycles including Standards Development Committee engagement, ballots, public comment periods, and periodic reviews - Advise on governance, version control, and document management - Produce publication-ready documentation Delivery Phases (under single contract): Phase 1: Expand the existing Refillable Product Standard (launching September 2026) to additional product categories, including screening and comparator LCAs, eligibility screening tool updates, standard and guidance document revisions, and Standards Development Committee and public comment management. Phase 2: Develop new standards within WRAP's product standards suite to create Circular Living standards, in collaboration with WRAP and strategic partners. Market engagement seeks supplier insight on: experience and delivery models, relevant expertise and accreditations (e.g., UKAS, ANSI), identified risks and success factors, quality assurance approaches, and indicative delivery timelines and budget ranges.
