## Summary

The UK Shared Business Services Limited is conducting a tender for a scoping study into the use of UK Government-held carbon and climate data aimed at supporting UK green finance initiatives. This tender falls under the research and development consultancy services category and is based in London. The tender was published on 27th January 2017, with a submission deadline of 15th February 2017. The awarded contract, valued at £86,730, commenced on 7th March 2017 and is set to conclude on 30th June 2017. The procurement method employed is an open procedure, having been initiated for services valued below the threshold.

This opportunity presents significant growth potential for businesses specialised in research, climate data analysis, or financial consultancy, particularly those with expertise in green finance initiatives. Companies that can assist in identifying and assessing carbon risks, developing corporate climate transition plans, or classifying green financial products will find this tender particularly relevant. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to engage, as this project supports the involvement of smaller businesses in meaningful public sector contracts.

## Notice

This study will scope the current data, products, standards and methodologies that are currently available or in development around: 1. identifying and assessing carbon risk in investments; o There is an increasingly urgent need for investors to assess and minimise climate related risk in their activities. This need is being recognised by investors but also increasingly by financial institutions and international bodies, such as the Green Finance Study Group under the G20 and the Financial Stability Board. Engagement with these groups and others has highlighted a lack of data and consistent methodologies as a barrier to wider adoption of climate risk assessment techniques. 2. developing corporate climate transition plans in the financial sector; and, o Many financial institutions have set positive green investment targets or science-based 2oC pathways, for example, Citi, JP Morgan & HSBC. This project seeks to understand how financial institutions define measuring and reporting the positive investments they are making. 3. classifying green finance products. o Data and information barriers have been highlighted as preventing the expansion of markets for green finance products, for example green bonds. This scoping will be combined with an assessment of the data and methodologies held by BEIS in this area and the extent to which these could be used to fill any gaps in the data, standards etc. Additional information: * Additional text UK Shared Business Services eSourcing As part of the strategic alliance between UK Shared Business Services Ltd (UK SBS) and Crown Commercial Service (CCS), UK SBS can use the CCS eSourcing Suite for future procurements.
