## Summary

The Greater Birmingham & Solihull Local Enterprise Partnership is currently engaged in the procurement process for a project titled "Creative Industries Low Carbon Consultancy". This initiative falls under the services category, specifically research consultancy services, within the Creative Industries and Low Carbon sectors. The procurement stage is complete, having culminated in an award on 18th February 2022. The contract is set to commence on 25th January 2022 and will run until 31st March 2022. Interested businesses were required to submit their tenders by 10th January 2022.

This consultancy opportunity presents significant growth potential for businesses in the Creative Industries and related sectors, particularly those focused on sustainability and innovation. Companies that specialise in environmental consultancy, management consultancy, and research services would be particularly well-positioned to compete for this tender. The emphasis on low carbon approaches aligns with emerging market trends, offering these businesses a chance to leverage their expertise while contributing to the region's ambitious Net Zero carbon targets.

## Notice

The Creative Industries sector will need to achieve full decarbonisation by 2041 to align with the region's 2041 Net Zero carbon target laid out in #WM2041. There are a number of challenges to decarbonize certain elements of the sector, including transport, buildings, festivals/events and supply chains. However, the adoption of low carbon approaches in the sector can also be an enabler of growth by offering businesses an opportunity to pivot their business models to align with an area of significant growth, to tap into new branding opportunities, and to participate in regional innovation. The West Midlands has natural sector strengths in both the Creative Industries sector, and the Low Carbon sector, and through collaboration and co-ordination there is an opportunity for the region to demonstrate its leadership in these areas and the synergies between them. Both nationally and regionally, there are a number of examples of businesses and projects within the Creative Industries sector that have adopted or encourage the adoption of low carbon approaches. However, to-date the state of the sector's adoption of Low Carbon is poorly defined. The Greater Birmingham & Solihull Local Enterprise Partnership (GBSLEP) requires a supplier to provide a research study into the adoption of low carbon approaches within the West Midlands' Creative Industries. The research will support GBSLEP and other policymakers in defining the current state of the sector's progress with respect to Net Zero and inform the development of an implementation plan for the region's Creative Industries. HOW TO APPLY Please submit an electronic copy of your tender document to procurement@gbslep.co.uk by no later than 10th January 2022 by 23:59 Tender Documents can be found here: https://gbslep.co.uk/tenders/tender-opportunities/12/creative-industries-low-carbon-consultancy/
