Cambridgeshire County Council needs an independent health impact assessment for Saxon Pit, a location in Cambridgeshire. This is a specialist study to evaluate how the site (likely a mineral extraction or waste facility) affects the health of local residents and communities over time.
Requirements
- Expertise in Health Impact Assessment methodology and cumulative impact analysis
- Understanding of environmental health risks and exposure pathways
- Knowledge of relevant UK health protection and environmental regulations
- Ability to consult with stakeholders and local communities
- Experience producing formal assessment reports for local authorities
- Data analysis and evidence synthesis capability
- No specific certifications mentioned in notice — check full tender documents for professional body memberships (e.g. UK Faculty of Public Health) that may be required
Key Tasks & Deliverables
- Conduct a Cumulative Health Impact Assessment (CHIA) specific to Saxon Pit site
- Identify and evaluate health risks from the site's operations and activities
- Assess cumulative impacts (combined effects with other local sources of pollution or hazards)
- Engage with stakeholders and potentially affected communities to gather input
- Review existing environmental and health data relevant to the site
- Produce a formal written assessment report with findings and recommendations
- Potentially provide recommendations for monitoring or mitigation measures
How to Read This Tender
- 1CHIA is a specialist assessment type — it's not just an environmental report, it specifically links environmental factors to human health outcomes. Look in the full documents for the scope: what health endpoints are you assessing (respiratory, cancer risk, etc.)?
- 2Check whether this is a baseline assessment, or assessing cumulative impacts against other sites/sources. The word 'cumulative' is key — you may need to compare this site's impact alongside other local industrial or transport pollution sources.
- 3Look for the 'Terms of Reference' or 'Specification' section in full documents — this will define exactly what geographic area, time period, and health outcomes you're expected to cover.
- 4Identify the budget, timeline, and delivery milestones early. Health assessments often require consultation phases which take time — budget for community engagement and multiple report drafts.
- 5Check whether the council expects you to hold public consultation events or just desk-based stakeholder interviews. This affects cost and resource planning significantly.
Tips for Small Businesses
- Health Impact Assessments are specialist work — if you don't have in-house expertise in epidemiology, environmental health, or public health, consider partnering with universities, public health consultancies, or environmental health professionals as a consortium or subcontractor arrangement.
- Social value and community benefit are likely scoring criteria. Emphasize any experience working with local communities, health equity focus, or plans to make findings accessible to residents (e.g. plain English summaries, community workshops).
- Cumulative health assessments may require access to environmental monitoring data, pollution records, and health datasets (e.g. from NHS or local health services). Confirm in your bid that you have or can obtain necessary data access agreements — this is often a hidden cost for smaller firms.
