The tender period ends on 11th January 2023, with the contract period starting on 16th January 2023 and ending on 10th March 2023. The workshop aims to align public and private investment to achieve the net zero target set by the UK government. This tender presents an opportunity for businesses interested in research and experimental development services to contribute towards decarbonisation efforts in the UK. SMEs and VCSEs are encouraged to participate. The workshop will focus on tracking investment flows to net zero and assessing their impact on carbon emissions. The procurement method is an open procedure below the threshold, providing a fair chance for businesses of various sizes to engage in this important initiative. ## Notice Please read attached terms of reference document for full information. The UK has adopted a binding net zero target and has set out a Net Zero Strategy outlining the Government's preferred approach to delivery against this target. In addition to strategic public investment, private investment from businesses will be crucial to achieving this target. This makes it essential to have the means of tracking public and private investment flows, understanding their likely impact on carbon emissions, and assessing if they are sufficient to deliver net zero. While mechanisms exist to assess the environmental impact of individual government policies, Government has not yet introduced mechanisms to: 1. Track private and public investment flows to net zero and assess if they're sufficient 2. Assess the impact of public tax and spending policies at fiscal events and whether they are helping to get the UK on track for net zero or not To address this, WWF and E3G, alongside a range of leading businesses and financial institutions, are calling for the Government to publish a Net Zero Investment Plan, to be updated on an annual basis, containing: 1. Assessment of the decarbonisation investment needs of different sectors, aligned with the sectoral transition pathways contained in the Net Zero Strategy 2. Tracking of actual public and private low carbon investment flows, conducted on an ongoing basis by an independent body 3. Reporting, based on application of a Net Zero Delivery Tracker, of the environmental impact of public tax and spending at each fiscal event, in terms of financial flows and projected carbon emissions impact 4. Assessment of the gap between actual and required investment for sectors and plan of how govt will use strategic public finance, policy, and regulation to crowd in private finance to close the gap. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/830035d9-1465-41b3-b112-3ba14c862400 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 10 Jan 2023 | | Submission deadline | 13 Jan 2023 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 23 Jan 2023 - 10 Mar 2023 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £9,995 | | 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 | WWF-UK (WORLD WIDE FUND FOR NATURE) TRADING LIMITED | | Locality | WOKING | | Post town | Guildford | | Postcode | GU21 4LL | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLJ South East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLJ2 Surrey, East and West Sussex | | ITL 3 | TLJ25 West Surrey | | Local authority | Woking | | Electoral ward | Horsell | | Westminster constituency | Woking | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ### Codes - 73100000 - Research and experimental development services - 73200000 - Research and development consultancy services - 73300000 - Design and execution of research and development ## Release History - 10 Jan 2023 at 08:17 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/830035d9-1465-41b3-b112-3ba14c862400 - 22 Dec 2022 at 12:12 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/830035d9-1465-41b3-b112-3ba14c862400 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/830035d9-1465-41b3-b112-3ba14c862400 10th January 2023 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/698a91e1-c5bd-40cc-949b-bf2775063312 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/d1ee3e73-6115-4bf0-8286-d02d6a6c5d70 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/9d3e7250-97a4-4503-8847-cfa70eb45e5e - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/3ded1d67-2b1f-447d-9937-e3849b6a9aa5 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
