This contract falls under the services category, specifically within the research consultancy services industry. The tender is currently active and is being conducted through an open procurement method, allowing for broader participation. The submission deadline for proposals is set for 10am on Thursday, 22nd August 2019, with the contract period commencing on 1st September 2019 and concluding on 15th November 2019. The potential contract value is set at £30,000, with a minimum value of £25,000, and the delivery addresses span the British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, and the United Kingdom. This tender represents a significant opportunity for consultancy firms with expertise in environmental issues, particularly those focused on climate change, public investment, and policy development. Businesses that specialise in environmental impact assessments and have a track record in related consultancy services would be well-suited to compete for this contract. This initiative aims to create a pathway for achieving net-zero emissions, presenting an opportunity for growth in an increasingly vital sector as organisations seek to meet stringent environmental targets. ## Notice The UK government recently took the first step in showing climate and environmental leadership through a legally-binding net zero greenhouse gas emissions target by 2050 and a commitment to leave the environment in a better state for the next generation. Last year WWF UK commissioned Keeping it Cool (https://www.wwf.org.uk/sites/default/files/2018-11/NetZeroReportART.pdf). The report produced two net-zero pathways 2050 and 2045. While we believe the end date for net zero should be brought forward significantly to 2045 at the latest, we are calling for immediate bold policies and financial commitments to fairly and democratically transform all sectors of the economy and restore our natural landscape over the next 18 months. WWF is calling for proposals from suitably experienced consultancy firms to produce a new report that will build on the Keeping it Cool report and the Climate Change Commission's net-zero advice to map out the levels of public investment and policies needed to be on track for the net zero transition, in a way that works for both people and nature.
