Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Government has initiated a procurement process under the title "How can technology help manufacturing businesses decarbonise while building resilience and strengthening competitive advantage." This project, focused on the services industry, aims to assist manufacturers in Scotland in evaluating their environmental impact, crucial for achieving Net Zero 2045. The procurement method employed is an open procedure. The procurement stage has reached completion, with the contract awarded to EngagedX on 11 February 2022, and the contract value is set at £605,000. The delivery is to be conducted within the UK, with reference related to CivTech challenges and requirements for voicing proposals effectively.

This opportunity presents significant potential for businesses that specialise in technological solutions aimed at sustainability and environmental impact assessment, especially within the manufacturing sector. Companies with expertise in carbon footprint analysis, innovative software development, and environmental consulting could thrive in this context. Moreover, small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that excel in delivering agile and impactful responses will find themselves well-suited to compete and collaborate with the Scottish Government in addressing these critical challenges, ultimately contributing to a greener economy.

Notice Title

How can technology help manufacturing businesses decarbonise while building resilience and strengthening competitive advantage

Notice Description

Manufacturing is a key sector in Scotland, providing business research and development, and high quality employment (approximately 170,000 people). It also needs to play a key role in helping Scotland work towards Net Zero 2045 but at the moment it is difficult for manufacturers to understand their environmental impact and the make the changes required. Our Challenge therefore is to help manufacturers assess their environmental footprint; for instance quickly estimating the carbon impact of their operations.

About CivTech CivTech's mission is to drive daring and innovation in the public sector by collaboratively solving challenges that make people's lives better - and in doing so create generations of sustainable, high growth businesses. CivTech brings together public sector expertise and private sector innovation to solve real problems, develop new products, and deliver better, faster and easier services for everyone. Central to the approach is co-production with the citizen. Part of the Scottish Government's Digital Directorate, CivTech's approach is helping transform public sector engagement with tech and innovation, delivering significant benefits to public services, producing genuine uplifts for the Scottish economy - and along the way, making lives better. Across the country there are problems public sector organisations would like to solve and in the current environment the need for smart, efficient and effective products has never been greater. The Scottish Government is aware innovation is a good way to create them and is committed to ensuring a large part of its tech spend goes to smaller, innovative businesses. This is where CivTech comes in. The CivTech Innovation Flow is designed to create products as quickly and effectively as possible, and uses a true Accelerator model at the heart of its Innovation Flow model. For you - whether you're an individual, team or company - it's an opportunity to take on a Challenge, solve it, and win contracts with a blue-chip public sector organisation. You'll build a product, and a business to take it as far as possible. Because here's the kicker: the Challenges we issue aren't 'single organisation' problems - most exist worldwide. In short: Open Challenges are set. Any organisation, team or individual can respond. Applications are assessed, and shortlisted proposals go into an Exploration Stage where they're developed further [for which participating applicants are paid]. The best go through to the Accelerator - a period of intensive work to create the solution, and through CivTech's unique business workshop system, a business capable of taking the product to the world.

It also needs to play a key role in helping Scotland work towards Net Zero 2045 but at the moment it is difficult for manufacturers to understand their environmental impact and the make the changes required. Our Challenge therefore is to help manufacturers assess their environmental footprint; for instance quickly estimating the carbon impact of their operations.

CivTech brings together public sector expertise and private sector innovation to solve real problems, develop new products, and deliver better, faster and easier services for everyone. Central to the approach is co-production with the citizen. Part of the Scottish Government's Digital Directorate, CivTech's approach is helping transform public sector engagement with tech and innovation, delivering significant benefits to public services, producing genuine uplifts for the Scottish economy - and along the way, making lives better. Across the country there are problems public sector organisations would like to solve and in the current environment the need for smart, efficient and effective products has never been greater. The Scottish Government is aware innovation is a good way to create them and is committed to ensuring a large part of its tech spend goes to smaller, innovative businesses. This is where CivTech comes in. The CivTech Innovation Flow is designed to create products as quickly and effectively as possible, and uses a true Accelerator model at the heart of its Innovation Flow model. For you - whether you're an individual, team or company - it's an opportunity to take on a Challenge, solve it, and win contracts with a blue-chip public sector organisation. You'll build a product, and a business to take it as far as possible. Because here's the kicker: the Challenges we issue aren't 'single organisation' problems - most exist worldwide. In short: Open Challenges are set. Any organisation, team or individual can respond. Applications are assessed, and shortlisted proposals go into an Exploration Stage where they're developed further [for which participating applicants are paid]. The best go through to the Accelerator - a period of intensive work to create the solution, and through CivTech's unique business workshop system, a business capable of taking the product to the world.
