## Summary

The UK Shared Business Services Limited has recently completed a tender process for the project titled "CR21020 Net-zero transition plans for non-financial corporates," focused on assessing motivations and challenges related to climate targets. This procurement falls under the research and development consultancy services category, and it was executed through a selective procurement method via a dynamic purchasing system. The contract was awarded on 4th March 2021, with a contract period running from 15th March to 31st May 2021. The delivery location is in London, United Kingdom, and the tender involved a contract value of £30,357.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses engaged in climate research, consultancy, and market analysis, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs). Companies that can provide expertise in environmental policy, climate-related disclosures, or the assessment of corporate transition plans are particularly well-suited to participate. Engaging in such contracts not only enhances business visibility within the public sector but also aligns with the increasing governmental focus on climate change initiatives and sustainable practices.

## Notice

**THIS IS NOT A CALL FOR COMPETITION** This was made under Crown Commercial Services Research Marketplace Dynamic Purchasing System RM6018 The first objective of this project is to analyse transition plans set by companies (excluding those in the financial sector) to meet Paris aligned or Net Zero climate targets; and then draw out common characteristics and examples of best practice from case studies. Developing this understanding is crucial for policymakers. As more and more firms set climate targets, supporting the disclosure of clear transition plans to meet these targets could become a policy priority for the UK government and regulators. The second objective of this project is to understand the motivation for companies to set these targets, as well as barriers they may have faced. This will inform COP26 business engagement to encourage companies to set climate targets through the "Race to Zero" campaign. The research should identify the major drivers for setting Paris-aligned or Net Zero targets - e.g. drivers within the company, economic incentives, engagement by investors, engagement by other stakeholders or action by government In addition, this research should explore potential links between climate-related disclosures and the setting of those targets. This will support the continued efforts of UK policymakers to advance TCFD-aligned disclosures in the UK. One motivation for companies to set Paris-aligned or Net Zero targets could be managing material long-term physical and transition climate risks.
