## Summary

The UK Centre for Ecology and Hydrology, in collaboration with other suppliers such as Eunomia Research & Consulting and the University of Exeter, has been awarded a contract by DESNZ for the "Land-Climate Research Programme". The procurement method used was an open procedure, with a value of £1,799,708.08. The contract period is from 29th January 2024 to 31st December 2025. The tender period ended on 31st October 2023, and the contract was awarded on 29th January 2024.

This research project offers opportunities for SMEs and other businesses in the research services industry to contribute to developing a deeper understanding of climate mitigation options in land use and agriculture. Businesses with expertise in environmental research, climate change mitigation, and scientific analysis would be well-suited to compete for this tender. The project aims to inform future policies and decisions around achieving net-zero carbon targets, creating potential for business growth and collaboration within the environmental research sector.

## Notice

This research programme aims to build upon previous research to develop a deeper, more granular understanding of the potential for climate mitigation options in land use and agriculture, considering specific net zero targets and top-down assumptions. Using the updated evidence base, the project will aim to provide an updated assessment of the mitigation potential of land-based options, their resilience to climate change, and trade-offs with environmental variables and biodiversity. The work will deliver a set of plausible scenarios which will inform decisions around the setting of Carbon Budget 7 and future policies. This work builds on a scoping study which ran from July 2022 to March 2023 to establish the current state of evidence in this area, and gaps which need to be filled to deliver comprehensive analysis of the contribution land can make to meeting net-zero. The research will be broad ranging and include, for example, developing more spatially detailed information on land use options for climate mitigation across England and the Devolved Administrations (DAs) alongside consideration of other land use pressures. The project will feed into and complement the longer-term UKRI Land Use for Net Zero research call.
