The procurement stage is now at the Tender phase, with the submission deadline set for 3rd February 2017. The total estimated value of the contract is £112,000, and the awarded contract period will commence on 23rd February 2017 and end on 25th January 2018. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialised in website development and consultancy services aimed at climate change and environmental analyses. Companies with expertise in research and development, particularly those familiar with climate-related tools, would be well-suited to compete for this contract. Participation in this procurement can enable businesses to contribute to the UK's low-carbon strategy, fostering growth while engaging in meaningful projects aligned with governmental climate objectives. ## Notice The UK's Climate Change Act was passed in 2008 and established a framework to develop an economically credible emissions reduction path, setting a target of reducing greenhouse emissions by at least 80% in 2050 from 1990 levels. On November 17th 2016, the UK Government signed the Paris Climate Agreement, which provides a framework for governments as well as business and investors to keep global warming below 2degC, pursuing efforts to limit the temperature increase to 1.5degC. Furthermore, one of the main aims of the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy is to ensure the UK has a reliable, low cost, and clean energy system, with reducing greenhouse gas emissions being central to this. The UK 2050 Calculator provides a tool to allow users to investigate ways of tackling climate change, and reducing UK greenhouse gas emissions to a level consistent with the Climate Change Act 2008. The UK 2050 Calculator was first published in 2011 alongside the Carbon Plan . The calculator was re-released in 2012 to incorporate costs with a 2007 baseline. The calculator has a web-interface, supporting spreadsheet and data. There are 40 "levers" of change with a range of options for each one. The calculator is deliberately simple, quick and can keep a record of stakeholders' chosen pathways. The calculator was developed in a very open and transparent way. It went through an extensive call-for-evidence, stakeholder workshops, and was continually updated using stakeholder feedback. It is a very useful tool for assessing the merit of pursuing different low carbon technologies; for example, the original 2050 calculator was used to generate scenarios for the 2011 Carbon Plan. It is also very helpful in stakeholder engagement; for example, the original calculator was used for public engagement at the British Energy Challenge roadshow. The UK 2050 Calculator hasn't been updated for a number of years, therefore is currently out-of-date. BEIS aims to increase the impact of the tool by aligning its underlying assumptions with other BEIS models, updating the lever and level assumptions, improving its functionality, and extending the timeline so that it operates within to 2100. The updated calculator will be used to improve the modelling capability of BEIS and support stakeholder engagement in climate change.
