## Summary

The Committee on Climate Change, based in London, has initiated a public procurement process for a tender titled "Research on UK manufacturing opportunities of moving to a low-carbon economy." The procurement falls under the industry category of "Research and development consultancy services" and is in the Award stage. The tender was published on 31st October 2016, with bids submitted by 12pm on 14th November 2016. The contract, valued at £49,200, will commence on 21st November 2016 and extend until 31st January 2017. This procurement follows an open procedure, allowing for broad participation from interested parties.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in research and consultancy, particularly those with expertise in low-carbon technologies and sustainable manufacturing. Companies specialising in market analysis, environmental research, or those with a strong background in the low-carbon sector would be well-positioned to compete. As the UK transitions towards a low-carbon economy, firms capable of offering innovative solutions or identifying barriers to market entry could play a vital role in supporting this government initiative, thereby positioning themselves advantageously in a growing market space.

## Notice

Aims and Objectives The project has three main aims: 1. Assess current size and importance of the UK low-carbon economy. The contractor will be asked to produce and description of the low-carbon economy in the UK today, the size and composition of the low-carbon market in the UK and internationally, and the share of these markets taken by UK suppliers. The contractor should recommend a set of indicators of UK performance that the CCC can update and monitor in the future. 2. Assess what new materials, goods and services will be needed in transitioning to a low-carbon global economy and where the UK is best placed to supply these new markets. Create a narrative of what will need to be produced for a low-carbon economy. This could be based on specific examples from CCC climate change mitigating and adaptation scenarios. Based on existing research and engagement with leading experts, assess where the UK has a comparative advantage in producing the materials/goods/services needed for the world transitioning to a low-carbon economy. 3. Assess nature and scale of barriers for UK firms to develop in these new markets and where government policy could play a role. Based on existing research and leading experts, set out specific barriers faced by UK firms in supplying the low-carbon economy and any high level conclusions on the role of government to help overcome these barriers. Additional information: Bids should be sent in time in time for receipt by 12pm on 14th November 2016
