This procurement is currently in the Tender stage, with the deadline for submissions set for 11th December 2019. The project, which carries a budget of £100,000, aims to establish a deployment trajectory promoting various technology mixes necessary for achieving net-zero emissions by 2050, thus providing critical input to governmental policy-making. The works will primarily be conducted in London. This tender represents an excellent opportunity for businesses involved in research, development services, and consultancy related to environmental technology and energy efficiency. Companies that specialise in heat decarbonisation technologies, including those that work with heat pumps, hydrogen systems, or hybrid solutions, would be particularly well-suited to compete. The focus on developing strategic, well-funded policies also suggests potential for growth in skilled supply chains supporting sustainable infrastructure undertakings. ## Notice In May 2019 the Committee on Climate Change published 'Net Zero: The UK's contribution to stopping global warming'. This report set out the Committee's advice that the UK should commit to achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. Earlier this year the Government and Devolved Administrations subsequently legislated for net zero greenhouse gas targets to be enacted in law. Achieving net zero greenhouse gas emissions requires a close-to-full decarbonisation of heat in buildings. As part of our advice on net zero, we developed a view of the different technology mixes which have potential to almost fully decarbonise buildings by 2050. To achieve net zero across the economy, buildings emissions must be reduced close to zero (to 5 MtCO2e or less in 2050), but the preferred technology mix is not yet clear (e.g. the balance between heat pumps, hydrogen, hybrid heat pumps and energy efficiency). As we look towards the sixth carbon budget, our task is now to establish what trajectory of deployment is needed to keep us on track to 2050 and beyond, whilst keeping options open across a range of potential scenarios. To meet our net zero ambition in buildings, the next 5-15 years will be critical. We must have meaningful and well-funded policies in place, skilled supply chains must be appropriately supported and trialling and testing at scale will be needed to inform strategic decisions on national and local infrastructure. The CCC will need a trajectory of deployment which balances these considerations and informs not only what will be needed for the sixth carbon budget period from 2033 to 2037, but in the years leading up to this. This in turn will be a critical input to the near-term decisions that are urgently needed from Government on policies for delivery, and on the funding required to support them. A number of key Government publications are expected in the coming year including the Government's heat decarbonisation policy roadmap, the Treasury's review of how the costs of the transition to a net-zero society can be funded, and the spending review and budget. The Committee's advice will be published in September 2020, three months before it is required by the Climate Change Act to ensure that it precedes the pivotal international climate change conference (COP26) due to take place in Glasgow in December 2020. *** See Specification for more detail *** ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/44b6cd1b-7595-4089-ac76-0eb3a76075ee | | 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 | 14 Nov 2019 | | Submission deadline | 11 Dec 2019 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 16 Dec 2019 - 29 May 2020 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £100,000 | | 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 9SZ | | 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 | Pimlico North | | 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 - 14 Nov 2019 at 11:22 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/44b6cd1b-7595-4089-ac76-0eb3a76075ee ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/44b6cd1b-7595-4089-ac76-0eb3a76075ee 14th November 2019 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/d3cec98c-ac52-4fa3-89b2-6b230e91f313 Specification - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/88fd6512-c1d2-44b9-9c35-d81887604a6b ITT - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/84cf761e-732a-4226-9eb9-aec3b111e200 Terms & Conditions ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
