## Summary

UK Research & Innovation has completed the procurement process for a social baseline study for the Carbon Storage Research Facility Project. The study aims to capture public knowledge and attitudes towards CO2 Capture and Storage in the UK, providing a comparison baseline for future activities. The procurement method used was an open procedure, with a tender period ending on February 14, 2023. The contract is valued at £147,150 GBP, and it will run from February 15, 2023, to March 31, 2024.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses in the social research services sector to engage with UK Research & Innovation. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations are suitable for competing in this procurement. Businesses located in the East Midlands of the United Kingdom are particularly well-placed to participate in this procurement process for services related to social research.

## Notice

The requirement is for a social baseline study for Carbon Storage Research Facility (CSRF) project. In order to improve our understanding of public knowledge and attitudes to CO2 Capture and Storage (CCS), the British Geological Survey (BGS) wishes to acquire a national 'social baseline' that provides a snapshot of attitudes to CCS across the UK from a representative sample of the UK population. This baseline of knowledge and attitudes should also provide the opportunity for comparison with future similar activities, should further funding become available, so that changes in social attitudes towards low carbon technologies can be measured over time.
