## Summary

The Scottish Government is currently conducting a procurement process titled "How can technology help manufacturing businesses decarbonise while building resilience and strengthening competitive advantage". This initiative falls under the IT services category, specifically aimed at consulting, software development, internet, and support within the services sector. The procurement method is an open procedure, and it is located in Glasgow, Scotland. The tendering period was originally set to close on 12 July 2021, with the buyer indicating the need for electronic submissions. This procurement has reached the award stage, and the winning supplier is EngagedX, with a contract valued at £605,000.

This tender provides a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in IT services, particularly those focused on developing innovative software solutions to assist manufacturers in understanding and reducing their environmental impact. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that possess expertise in sustainability, data analysis, and technological innovation would be particularly well-equipped to compete for this contract, aligning with the Scottish Government's commitment to fostering innovation and supporting smaller businesses in the public sector.

## Notice

Manufacturing is a key sector in Scotland, providing business research and development, and high quality employment (approximately 170,000 people). It also needs to play a key role in helping Scotland work towards Net Zero 2045 but at the moment it is difficult for manufacturers to understand their environmental impact and the make the changes required. Our Challenge therefore is to help manufacturers assess their environmental footprint; for instance quickly estimating the carbon impact of their operations.
