Summary of the contracting process

The Advanced Research and Invention Agency (ARIA) has initiated a procurement process titled "Forecasting Tipping Points: Uniting climate measurements and models to create an early warning system." Classified under the Research services industry (CPV 73110000), this tender falls within the services sector and focuses on developing a sustainable early warning system for climate tipping points. Located in the UK, the procurement is currently in the tender stage. The concept paper submission deadline is 23 September 2024, followed by the full proposal submission deadline on 11 November 2024. This competitive procedure with negotiation encompasses a multi-year field campaign to integrate innovative sensing systems with advanced climate models.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in climate research, AI-driven modelling, and environmental sensing technologies. Companies specializing in these areas, especially those with expertise in low-cost sensing systems and interdisciplinary research, stand to benefit from participating. The procurement method allows for both contracts and grants, offering multiple avenues for securing funding. Organisations with strengths in collaboration across sectors and institutions are well-suited to contribute to ARIA's goal of creating a robust, affordable early warning system for climate tipping points.

Why this programme Major parts of the Earth system are at risk of crossing climate tipping points within the next century, with severe consequences for biodiversity, food security, agriculture, and humanity. Despite the potential impact, we're poorly equipped to characterise the long-term trends of our climate systems, or predict the future risk of runaway, self-perpetuating change. Our best observational datasets are at a nascent stage, while our best climate models are computationally expensive and do not capture all the physical processes we need. What we're shooting for Combining expertise in observation and modelling with innovative sensing systems, we'll look to develop a proof-of-concept for an early warning system for climate tipping points that is affordable, sustainable and justified. We'll achieve this through a targeted deployment of low-cost sensing systems, to be tested in a multi-year field campaign, whose data can be integrated with advances in physics- and AI-driven models to push the frontiers of knowledge for climate tipping points. By unifying these approaches, we're aiming to confidently predict when a system will tip, what the consequences be, and how quickly that change will unfold.Our goal: to create an early warning system for tipping points that equips the world with the information we need to build resilience and accelerate proactive climate adaptation.

Options: Additional funding, scope and duration could be added to any contracts awarded.
