This procurement falls under the research consultancy services category and aims to support the UK government in reaching its legally binding target of Net Zero by 2050. The tender is currently in the active stage, with a submission deadline set for 25th March 2020. The ensuing contract will commence on 30th April 2020 and run until 30th April 2021, covering deliveries to various locations including the UK and British Overseas Territories. This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses focused on environmental consultancy, particularly those with expertise in carbon emissions reduction and sustainability strategies. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to apply, as this procurement method is designed to foster competition among suppliers. Companies that can demonstrate innovative approaches to carbon reduction and possess strong analytical capabilities will be well positioned to compete for this contract, thereby contributing to their business growth in an increasingly green economy. ## Notice The UK has set out in law the target of achieving Net Zero by 2050. Since 1990, UK greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions have been falling. In 2017 UK GHG emissions were equivalent to just over 500 million tonnes of carbon dioxide (MtCO2e) , 40% below 1990 levels. To achieve Net Zero by 2050 the UK will need to cut its emission rates by over 300 MtCO2e (2017 levels) to 193 MtCO2e in 2050 To help us achieve these ambitions we are commissioning this project which will collate and analyse evidence to help us understand how best to balance our residual carbon emissions to achieve Net Zero by 2030. It will help us understand: - Which approaches are best? - How should we offset/inset? - Where (geographically) should we work? - Who should we collaborate with?
