## Summary

The Big Lottery Fund is currently seeking a service provider through an open tender process to offset its carbon footprint for 2017/18, amounting to 1,151 tonnes. This procurement falls under the services category, specifically focusing on environmental monitoring. Interested parties should note that the tender period ends on 4th October 2018, with the contract expected to commence on 1st November 2018 and run for one year, concluding on 31st October 2019. The projects funded should engage UK communities and align with the organisation’s environmental goals, ensuring that funding leads to significant social and environmental benefits.

This tender presents a valuable opportunity for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that specialise in environmental projects and community engagement initiatives. Companies equipped to propose innovative carbon reduction strategies and those with experience in executing community-based projects will be well-positioned to compete. By securing this contract, successful bidders can not only contribute to vital environmental efforts but also enhance their market credibility and foster relationships within the community.

## Notice

The Fund is seeking to procure a service provider to offset our calculated carbon footprint for 2017/18 (1151 tonnes). The Service Provider will ensure that our offset fund enables successful community carbon projects within the UK, which would otherwise not have gone ahead without our funding (which will be confirmed through the projects being certified as additional). We require an organisation to use the money to deliver carbon reduction projects that are consistent with our organisational aims/ethos. Therefore, we are looking for projects that involve, benefit and engage UK communities, bringing social and environmental benefits beyond the initial carbon capture/reduction. We will require information on the project/s we fund, to use internally and potentially externally to encourage environmental conversations. Also, details of how the offset has been calculated and what recognised standards they meet.
