## Summary

The Scottish Government is conducting an active tender titled "How can technology help us identify peatland restoration sites that will optimise costs and benefits?" within the IT services industry, specifically focusing on consulting, software development, and support. This procurement process is currently in the Tender stage, having recently extended the closure date to 12 July 2021 to facilitate adequate submissions. Potential suppliers are encouraged to submit their electronic proposals through the online platform, ensuring compliance with the criteria and guidelines outlined in the tender documentation.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those specialising in technology solutions that address environmental and sustainability challenges. Companies involved in software development, data analysis, and ecological consultancy are particularly well-suited to compete, as the project aims to leverage technology to enhance peatland restoration efforts. By engaging with this tender, businesses can not only contribute to meaningful environmental initiatives but also establish long-term relationships with public sector entities, fostering innovation and commercial growth in the process.

## Notice

We don't know which degraded peatland sites offer the best cost-benefit balance from restoration. The main benefit sought from restoration is a reduction in carbon emissions but there are associated benefits for biodiversity, water quality and flood management.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

CivTech's mission is to drive daring and innovation in the public sector by collaboratively solving challenges that make people's lives better - and in doing so create generations of sustainable, high growth businesses. CivTech brings together public sector expertise and private sector innovation to solve real problems, develop new products, and deliver better, faster and easier services for everyone. Central to the approach is co-production with the citizen. Part of the Scottish Government's Digital Directorate, CivTech's approach is helping transform public sector engagement with tech and innovation, delivering significant benefits to public services, producing genuine uplifts for the Scottish economy - and along the way, making lives better. Across the country there are problems public sector organisations would like to solve and in the current environment the need for smart, efficient and effective products has never been greater. The Scottish Government is aware innovation is a good way to create them and is committed to ensuring a large part of its tech spend goes to smaller, innovative businesses. This is where CivTech comes in. The CivTech Innovation Flow is designed to create products as quickly and effectively as possible, and uses a true Accelerator model at the heart of its Innovation Flow model. For you - whether you're an individual, team or company - it's an opportunity to take on a Challenge, solve it, and win contracts with a blue-chip public sector organisation. You'll build a product, and a business to take it as far as possible. Because here's the kicker: the Challenges we issue aren't 'single organisation' problems - most exist worldwide. In short: Open Challenges are set. Any organisation, team or individual can respond. Applications are assessed, and shortlisted proposals go into an Exploration Stage where they're developed further [for which participating applicants are paid]. The best go through to the Accelerator - a period of intensive work to create the solution, and through CivTech' s unique business workshop system, a business capable of taking the product to the world.
