## Summary

The procurement process titled "CO2 transport and storage: review of business models (Phase 1)" has been conducted by Business Innovation & Skills, focusing on the research and development services sector. The procurement was initiated under an open procedure and is now complete, with the award date being 17th January 2017. The contract, valued at £19,500, spans from 25th January 2017 to 31st March 2017. This process primarily covers the United Kingdom, encompassing a range of delivery addresses including British Overseas Territories and Europe, aimed at exploring potential business models for CO2 transport and storage infrastructure.

This tender presents significant opportunities for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) looking to expand in the environmental services sector, particularly those specialised in research and consultancy related to infrastructure. Businesses capable of delivering innovative solutions in carbon management and energy efficiency would find this contract particularly pertinent. The detailed analysis and ensuing reports generated from this project could inform subsequent phases, creating pathways for further contracts and collaboration in the growing field of carbon capture technologies.

## Notice

This work will explore the range of possible business models to finance, deliver and operate CO2 transport and storage infrastructure, and their potential to address existing barriers to deployment. The work is the first phase of a wider research project; the outputs will be used to define the scope and design of the methodology for subsequent analyses. The final report will identify a sub-set of business models for further in depth study, to test their suitability in the UK and understand their relative potential to enable more cost effective delivery and operation of CO2 infrastructure.
