## Summary

The UK Research & Innovation (UKRI) has initiated a tender for a social baseline study for the Carbon Storage Research Facility (CSRF) project. The tender, with reference ID BIP734693610, falls under the services category with a value of £150,000. The procurement method is an open procedure with a tender period ending on 12th December 2022 at 14:00 GMT. The contract period is set to run from 1st February 2023 to 31st March 2023, providing opportunities for SMEs and VCSEs in the East Midlands region of the United Kingdom.

This tender by UKRI offers an opportunity for businesses specialising in social research services to participate in a project aimed at capturing public knowledge and attitudes toward CO2 Capture and Storage (CCS). With a focus on understanding societal perceptions of low carbon technologies, this procurement process seeks to engage with a representative sample of the UK population, laying the groundwork for future comparative studies if additional funding becomes available. SMEs and VCSEs are particularly encouraged to apply, aligning with the contracting authority's consideration for small and medium enterprises to fulfill this contract.

## Notice

Text to be corrected in the original notice: Place of text to be modified: Conditions for opening of tenders: 14 December 2022 Instead of: 12 December 2022 Time: 14:00 Read New: 14 December 2022 Time: 14:00 Other additional information: The contracting authority considers that this contract may be suitable for economic operators that are small or medium enterprises (SMEs). However, any selection of tenderers will be based solely on the criteria set out for the procurement. 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.
