The procurement stage is active and the tender period is scheduled to close on 28 November 2019. The contract, with a total estimated value of £500,000, is to be conducted in London, United Kingdom, following an open procedure for procurement. The contract's duration is from 31 December 2019 to 30 September 2020. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses, particularly those specialising in environmental consultancy, data analytics, and carbon management systems. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, benefitting from the project’s aim to develop standardised metrics for emissions reporting across the rail sector. Businesses that can align their capabilities with the objectives of establishing effective methodologies and actionable reporting metrics may find this contract advantageous for growth in the field of sustainable practices and innovation within the rail industry. ## Notice This project has the following objectives (split into two work packages): To develop a standardised agreed methodology and set of metrics to apply across the whole rail industry to measure, manage and report emissions on a system-wide basis. To define a system boundary for the rail industry for emissions which reflects what the industry is able to control directly. This will include an assessment of where the 'guiding hand' lies within the organisations within the system boundary that is best placed to take on lead responsibility for managing specified emissions sources. It is possible, such as with operators and OEMs, that there may be more than one guiding hand for a specific emission. This system boundary must be agreed with the Department for Transport (DfT) to ensure that it fits within wider government and national contexts To identify dataset(s) and specify reporting metrics that allow effective interim and long-term carbon targets to be set, implemented and monitored. Reporting metrics must be sufficiently granular and of a nature that allows guiding hands to understand them and to act on them. There will be a need to consult with DfT and the Office of Rail and Road (ORR) and the Department of Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) on existing metrics to ensure that these are appropriate, actionable and consistent with wider national emissions reporting obligations To consider what tools available today and anticipated in the future, rail specific and otherwise, such as the rail carbon management tool and PAS 2080, may be able to meet some or all of the requirements identified for metrics specification, data collection, collation, analysis, reporting and management. 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. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/379d6bf0-efbd-4132-a9ee-ca9a38140b10 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 31 Oct 2019 | | Submission deadline | 28 Nov 2019 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 Dec 2019 - 30 Sep 2020 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £500,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | RSSB | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | Central London | | Postcode | EC2M 2RB | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI4 Inner London - East | | ITL 3 | TLI43 Haringey and Islington | | Local authority | Islington | | Electoral ward | Bunhill | | Westminster constituency | Islington South and Finsbury | | Delivery location | TLI London | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ### Codes - 73000000 - Research and development services and related consultancy services - 73110000 - Research services ## Release History - 31 Oct 2019 at 10:10 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/379d6bf0-efbd-4132-a9ee-ca9a38140b10 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/379d6bf0-efbd-4132-a9ee-ca9a38140b10 31st October 2019 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.delta-esourcing.com/tenders/UK-GB-London:-Carbon-Measurements-%28T1197%29/392352957V Please follow this link to view the notice. ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
