## Summary

The Committee On Climate Change (CCC) has initiated a tender titled "How can policy better support SMEs in the pathway to Net Zero". This procurement process falls under the category of research and development services, specifically aimed at evaluating existing policies affecting small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) within the United Kingdom. Located in London, the tender period concluded on 15 February 2022. The awarded contract, valued between £25,000 and £40,000, requires deliverables by 29 April 2022. The procurement was conducted using an open method suitable for organisations classified as SMEs and voluntary and community sector enterprises (VCSE).

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, especially those specialising in climate policy consulting, research, and development services. Firms capable of understanding and analysing policy impacts on SMEs will be well-positioned to compete. Given the CCC's focus on climate change and emissions reduction, businesses with expertise in environmental sustainability and engagement strategies for SMEs should find this procurement beneficial for growth in their service offerings.

## Notice

The Climate Change Committee (CCC) plans to publish a report in 2022 to advise Government on business action, including a section on SMEs. The report will summarise the actions needed from SMEs to contribute to the Sixth Carbon Budget, evaluate the climate policies in place that currently impact SMEs and suggest new or strengthened policies. To inform this publication, the CCC is tendering a project 1) to understand the actions that priority SMEs groups should be taking to meet the Sixth Carbon Budget 2) to evaluate existing SME-focussed policies and to highlight where these leave gaps and 3) to suggest changes to existing policies or new/alternative policies that would engage more SMEs in reducing their emissions effectively. Given timescales for publication, the tendered work needs to be delivered by end of April 2022, at a cost of PS25,000 - PS40,000 plus VAT.
