This project aims to assess the feasibility of large-scale greenhouse gas removals using DACCS technologies in the UK over the Seventh Carbon Budget period (2038 - 2042). The procurement stage is currently open for interested parties, with the tender period ending on 27th October 2023. The project, valued at £50,000 GBP, must be completed by mid-February 2024 and is located in London, United Kingdom. This tender presents an opportunity for businesses, especially those involved in research and development services and consultancy, to contribute to the assessment of DACCS deployment feasibility in the UK. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate. Businesses with expertise in greenhouse gas removal technologies, carbon capture and storage, engineering, and energy sectors are well-suited to compete. The project requirements include exploring the potential for large-scale DACCS projects in the UK, assessing energy demands, CCS infrastructure implications, and comparing deployment costs with global efforts. ## Notice The Climate Change Committee (CCC) is looking to widen its understanding of the feasibility of carrying out large scale greenhouse gas removals in the UK using Direct Air Capture with Carbon Storage (DACCS). As we consider emissions over the Seventh Carbon Budget period (2038 - 2042), we are examining the role different engineered removals technologies could play in the UK in those years and assessing their interactions with other sectors including power and land use. The Committee expects that DACCS will play a role in delivering engineered removals over the Seventh Carbon Budget period. For the purpose of this work, we define DACCS as technologies directly capture CO2 from the atmosphere through chemical and mechanical processes to produce a concentrated CO2 output that is subsequently injected into the subsurface for secure storage. This project should assess the range of different direct air capture approaches in development and the variation in their required inputs and costs. DACCS has progressed in recent years, with small-scale projects in operation and larger projects expected to be built in the next few years. While there are no DACCS sites currently operating in the UK, there is growing momentum behind this technology and businesses in hard-to-abate sectors have expressed interest in funding future projects. DACCS is identified as a key technology in future global greenhouse gas removals, but there are some areas that require further research before the extent of its role, especially in specific locations, can be determined. The CCC is looking to expand its evidence base and develop modelling which assesses the possible scale and rate of DACCS deployment in the UK. There are many factors that influence this feasibility, such as international progress on developing these technologies, its cost, energy and material input requirements, and on the availability of Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) network infrastructure. The Committee would like to build a detailed picture of how these factors interact with UK [geographies], infrastructure and power generation. To inform this work, the CCC is tendering a project to explore 1) when the first large-scale (meaning projects removing at least 1 Mt CO2/year) UK DACCS projects could be deployed and how quickly UK capacity might be expanded, 2) the implications of this scale-up for factors including energy demand, CCS infrastructure and jobs along the supply chain in the UK and 3) how the costs and resource implications of deploying DACCS in the UK compare with similar efforts abroad. Given that this work is intended to inform CCC modelling for Seventh Carbon Budget advice, the tendered work needs to be delivered by mid-February 2024 at a cost of PS60,000 including VAT. *** See specification for more detail *** ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b3f10e2e-2be0-453d-bc10-7cae463aa039 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 26 Sep 2023 | | Submission deadline | 27 Oct 2023 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 3 Nov 2023 - 23 Feb 2024 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £50,000 | | 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 | SW1H 0ET | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI35 Westminster and City of London | | Local authority | Westminster | | Electoral ward | St James's | | Westminster constituency | Cities of London and Westminster | | 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 - 26 Sep 2023 at 12:25 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b3f10e2e-2be0-453d-bc10-7cae463aa039 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b3f10e2e-2be0-453d-bc10-7cae463aa039 26th September 2023 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/e22ed60d-3491-4ef4-9cbf-f48ccad84b37 Specification - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/d0e71b88-ff3b-4825-9db1-41802f810396 ITT - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/1e6f0ea7-261d-405e-9be7-bcb72f1115c0 T&C's ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
