Notice Title
PS22287 - Creation of Embedded carbon benchmark levels for concrete - ITQ
Notice Description
The final date and time for the submission of bids is Friday 21st October at 11:00 DO NOT apply directly to the buyer. All tender information MUST be submitted through the Jaggaer eSourcing Portal. Brief Description of Requirement The manufacture of cement is responsible for 4% of global man-made CO2 emissions, in response to which the industry is investing extensively in new cements that have a lower embedded carbon. There is a wide variety of these cements available commercially, and there is considerable R&D being undertaken into new types. The lack of an agreed definition of "low carbon" makes it hard to distinguish between the different products on the market. For sellers, this lack of a level playing field for the marketing of products makes it hard for companies selling premium priced very low embedded carbon cements to compete against lower cost cements with higher embedded carbon content. This difficulty in building market share also deters investment in the further development and commercialisation of lower carbon cements. (As cement is bought largely as a binder in concretes, this project is based on concrete, with the acknowledgement that the carbon content is determined largely by the type and amount of binder used.) The primary objective of this work is to overcome this barrier by creating a set of discrete embedded carbon levels that are shared across the sector. Please ensure you review all attached information to ensure a full understanding of this requirement. All attachments can be found with the Supplier Attachments tab within the Jaggaer eSourcing Portal. This contract will be awarded based on the evaluation criteria as set out in the ITQ document.
