Notice Title

RSSB2674 - Science Based Targets - Deadline Extended to Thursday 1st February

Notice Description

2. Objective RSSB would like the supplier to produce a report outlining out how the rail industry should approach setting robust science based targets to support the delivery of wider UK carbon targets. Achieving this objective will allow the industry to determine whether setting science based targets is a feasible approach to tackling its carbon emissions, and if so the next steps and foreseeable challenges in doing so. 3. Scope and deliverables The supplier is not required to establish science based targets for the industry, rather to undertake a piece of research to determine the methods and steps to be taken by the industry to enable it to set and embed its own targets. The requested report should encompass the following deliverables. A. A baselining exercise and gap analysis looking at; The existing commitments made by organisations within the rail industry The existing commitments made by, and requirements of future, franchises The scope 1, 2 and 3 data currently collected and future data needs A review of organisational boundaries and data consistency B. Justification of the most appropriate technique(s) to set science based targets for the rail industry, considering; Sectoral decarbonisation, absolute emissions contraction, economic approaches, or other The ongoing work through the Transport Refinement Project The relevance of key technologies - energy efficiency, purchasing, and renewables generation The inclusion of scope 3 emissions and supply chain influence C. Identification of the next steps to establish science based targets, considering; The recommended methodology, timescales, and estimated costs of setting targets Key decision points and levers for achieving reductions The challenges/ opportunities imposed by organisational boundaries and commerciality The above deliverables are required but not an exclusive list. Additional items recommended by the supplier should be included in the tender response as optional and priced accordingly. 4. Critical Success Factors This piece of work will be deemed successful if it; * Clarifies whether setting science based targets is a feasible approach for the rail industry * Provides a justified and useable methodology and next steps for the industry to enable it to set and embed science based targets * Provides a robust estimate of the associated time and costs incurred should the industry decide to set science based targets (i.e. suitable as the basis for a business case)
