This tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses involved in research and consultancy services, especially those focusing on environmental and emissions-related sectors. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in identifying and mapping input materials and production processes for glass and ceramics sectors are well-suited to compete in such tenders. Engaging in this project could enhance a company's portfolio and provide valuable insights and experience in supporting government mechanisms like the CBAM, potentially leading to more opportunities in the future.

## Notice

The UK Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) will apply a charge on the carbon emissions embodied within certain emissions-intensive imported goods. This means that the government will need to legislate for the products that will be within scope of the mechanism. Research is required to finalise the exact scope of the products within the UK CBAM. The first element of work is to produce 'system boundaries' for the glass and ceramics sectors including identifying relevant input materials for proposed products and mapping these to relevant production processes
