## Summary

The Scottish Government has completed a procurement process titled "CivTech 8.4 - How can technology help us better assess and identify projects and opportunities that will improve and increase investment in Scotland’s marine natural capital?". This procurement falls under the services category and aims to develop new technologies to support decision-makers in identifying optimal locations for marine natural capital projects. The procurement method used was an open procedure, with an accelerated timeline due to time pressures. The tender was cancelled, and the award was made to Tritonia Scientific Ltd with a contract signed on 1st August 2023 for a value of £615,000.

This tender process presents an opportunity for businesses to innovate and contribute to Scotland’s marine natural capital projects. Businesses in IT services, consulting, software development, and Internet support would be well-suited to compete in this sector. The accelerated procurement method underscores the urgency of the project, making it ideal for businesses capable of delivering innovative solutions within tight timelines. The Scottish Government, as the buying organisation, is actively seeking partnerships with smaller, innovative companies to drive sustainable high-growth businesses in the public sector.

## Notice

In common with other coastal nations across the globe, a huge part of Scotland's Natural Capital, and our opportunities to develop nature based solutions to help meet net-zero goals and support wider biodiversity, is located within the marine environment. However decision makers both in Scotland and further afield, lack the information required to identify the optimum locations for projects to invest in. We will invest in the development of new technologies that will support decision makers in the identification of optimum locations for marine Natural Capital projects as well help estimate and monitor their impacts.

### 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. This Challenge is also one of the first being launched as part of the Innovate for Nature strategy, and falls under Mission 3.
