This procurement falls under the Research and Development Services industry category and is situated in London, United Kingdom. The procurement process is currently in the Tender stage, with a deadline for submission set for 13th February 2018. The contract period is expected to start on 14th February and conclude on 2nd April 2018. The overall project budget is between £5,000 and £10,000, and it will employ an open procurement method under an open procedure below the threshold. This tender presents a significant opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in research, consultancy, and data analysis, particularly those with expertise in bioenergy and sustainability. Businesses that can provide peer-reviewed evidence and insights into greenhouse gas emissions, resource availability, and bioenergy’s role in decarbonising the economy could be particularly well-positioned to compete. Engaging in this procurement could not only enhance their portfolio but also contribute to critical climate change initiatives in the UK. ## Notice In 2011 the Committee on Climate Change (CCC) published a Bioenergy Review to provide an assessment of the potential role of bioenergy in meeting the UK's carbon budgets. The Bioenergy Review drew on the best available evidence to address questions relating to the sustainability of bioenergy, lifecycle emissions, resource availability and best-use across the economy. It highlighted the importance of bioenergy for meeting the UK's climate change targets and made recommendations for tightening the sustainability standards for bioenergy resources - recommendations that were subsequently adopted by the UK Government. The CCC is now planning to update its work on bioenergy, culminating in a new Bioenergy Review to be published in Autumn 2018. This will consider the latest evidence to provide an updated view on the role of bioenergy in decarbonising the UK economy through to 2050. Key themes to be explored include sustainability and certification, GHG emissions accounting, developing sustainable supply, non-energy uses of bioenergy resources, and transitions to future best-uses of bioenergy resources. We will identify recommendations for further action and aim to develop indicators to allow the CCC to monitor progress over time. In December, the CCC published a Call for Evidence, available at: https://www.theccc.org.uk/bioenergy-review-2018-call-evidence/ It is intended to provide all stakeholders with the opportunity to input to the CCC's work and to enable the CCC to draw on the full range of up-to-date evidence relating to bioenergy production, sustainability and use. The deadline for responses was 5th February 2018. We received 34 responses in total, with links to around 150 pieces of supporting material (because of the overlap between responses, it is not possible to give an exact estimate at this time). Responders were asked to answer only those questions where they have particular expertise, to focus on peer-reviewed evidence and to limit responses to a maximum of 400 words per question, plus links to supporting evidence. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/947954ea-4c03-4416-a28d-9c4958de973f | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 6 Feb 2018 | | Submission deadline | 13 Feb 2018 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 14 Feb 2018 - 2 Apr 2018 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £10,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | THE COMMITTEE ON CLIMATE CHANGE | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South West London | | Postcode | SW1W 8NR | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI33 Kensington & Chelsea and Hammersmith & Fulham | | Local authority | Kensington and Chelsea | | Electoral ward | Royal Hospital | | Westminster constituency | Chelsea and Fulham | | Delivery location | TLI London | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ### Codes - 73000000 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ## Release History - 6 Feb 2018 at 15:06 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/947954ea-4c03-4416-a28d-9c4958de973f ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/947954ea-4c03-4416-a28d-9c4958de973f 6th February 2018 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/dd529b4d-ee78-43c3-9935-6da57bed314a Terms & Conditions - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/7b7e924c-ec83-4ab8-9f5b-9577e2f05304 Specification ## Notice URLs - https://www.theccc.org.uk/bioenergy-review-2018-call-evidence/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
