This initiative aims to reduce carbon emissions within the Scope 3 Purchased Goods and Services category. The total contract value is £60,000, with a tender deadline of August 18, 2023. The contract period is set to start on September 1, 2023, and end on August 31, 2024. The procurement method is an open procedure below the threshold, and the location is in Reigate, United Kingdom. The industry category for this tender is environmental standards other than for construction. This tender offers opportunities for businesses involved in environmental consultancy services and carbon accounting. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are particularly well-suited to compete. Businesses focusing on environmental indicators analysis and impact assessment services may find this tender suitable for their expertise. Winning this contract could lead to business growth, especially for companies looking to contribute towards reducing carbon emissions in the supply chain. ## Notice In 2019, Surrey County Council (SCC) declared a climate change emergency and committed itself to becoming a net zero carbon county by 2050 or sooner. Whilst addressing direct organisational emissions is usually a visible and distinct process, dealing with Scope 3 emissions involves activities that reside outside the immediate sphere of organisational influence, complicating the decarbonisation process. The procurement of goods and services has been identified as a strategic priority by the Council to reducing carbon emissions (emissions within the Scope 3 Purchased Goods and Services category of the GHG Protocol). Having previously completed a supply chain carbon baselining exercise, it was found that a significant portion of the Council's total emissions reside within the supply chain (up to 95%). This analysis used the Council's procurement spend together with Extended Environmental Input-Output (EEIO) factors. This methodology has several accuracy limitations and most critically, does not gather information directly from suppliers so their decarbonisation efforts would not be accounted for using this methodology. Previous engagement with our suppliers has also indicated that many are not yet at the point of maturity to calculate their own emissions. The Council is therefore looking to procure a solution that will provide visibility to supply chain carbon emissions using data directly from suppliers whilst supporting those that currently do not have a suitable methodology to measure their own emissions. SCC is part of a shared public procurement service known as Orbis Procurement. This partnership encourages collaboration between Surrey, East Sussex County Council (ESCC) and Brighton and Hove City Council (BHCC). The results of this initiative may be shared with our Orbis partners who may look to run a similar initiative in future. For the avoidance of doubt, this procurement does not include licences for East Sussex County Council or Brighton and Hove City Council. However, either of the Councils reserve the right to enter a contract under these arrangements as long as the total combined contract value does not exceed the relevant regulatory procurement threshold. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/224ebdaf-9ee1-44d2-ac0f-6fec67aeb283 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | 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 | 21 Jul 2023 | | Submission deadline | 18 Aug 2023 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 Aug 2023 - 31 Aug 2024 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £60,000 | | 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 | SURREY COUNTY COUNCIL | | Locality | REIGATE | | Post town | Redhill | | Postcode | RH2 8EF | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLJ South East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLJ2 Surrey, East and West Sussex | | ITL 3 | TLJ26 East Surrey | | Local authority | Reigate and Banstead | | Electoral ward | South Park & Woodhatch | | Westminster constituency | Reigate | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 90 - Sewage, refuse, cleaning and environmental services ### Codes - 90711200 - Environmental standards other than for construction - 90711300 - Environmental indicators analysis other than for construction - 90711400 - Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) services other than for construction - 90713000 - Environmental issues consultancy services ## Release History - 21 Jul 2023 at 13:51 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/224ebdaf-9ee1-44d2-ac0f-6fec67aeb283 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/224ebdaf-9ee1-44d2-ac0f-6fec67aeb283 21st July 2023 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://supplierlive.proactisp2p.com/Account/Login?cid=surreycc Proactis Supplier Network ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
