ARIA, a government R&D funding agency, is keen on harnessing the creativity of scientists and engineers to address critical global challenges through this Request for Proposal (RFP). The programme is targeting the research and development services sector, specifically focusing on climate change impact analysis and innovative solutions. The procurement process is currently in the tender stage with the most recent update on submission details reflecting a deadline on 4th September 2024. The project operates nationwide across the UK, involving secondary schools, and encourages participation from diverse backgrounds in climate science. This tender represents a notable opportunity for organisations specialising in educational outreach, scientific competition management, and those with robust experience in fostering equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) in science projects. Ideal candidates would be proficient in coordinating large-scale academic programmes and possess the capability to dive into the complexities of environmental science and technology. The future climate innovators programme envisions a single lead organisation to engage with regional educational institutions, capitalise on space science enthusiasm, and deliver content in collaboration with university students or early career professionals. ## Notice We are pleased to invite you to take part in this Request for Proposal (RFP). ARIA is an R&D funding agency. We fund teams of scientists and engineers to pursue research at the edge of what is technologically or scientifically possible. ARIA was established by the UK Government in January 2023 with high levels of autonomy and flexibility. From climate change to AI and bioengineering, society faces enormous challenges and opportunities that can be uniquely addressed by science and technology. ARIA was created to activate the UK's world-class R&D talent in new ways, so that we can meet these head on. We are looking for a partner organisation who can deliver a youth-led competition as part of the Forecasting Tipping Points programme. Our discovery process has highlighted systemic barriers that could impede the long-term impact of our programme. Climate change affects everyone, so it is vital that we include people of all backgrounds and encourage the next generation of climate scientists and technologists to engage with our programme. ### Lot Information Lot 1 A youth-led competition to improve equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI) in Earth and space science. We have been inspired to develop and deliver a youth-led outreach programme, designed to engage the next generation of climate innovators. We're looking to demonstrate that new mode of citizen science. The initiative will capitalise on the ability of space science to captivate the imagination and the enthusiasm of the next generation to take on climate change. We anticipate having a single lead organisation that delivers the future climate innovators programme and liaises with existing national rocketry competition(s) for an annual deployment demonstration. a. The programme would run in secondary schools across the UK, particularly enriched for areas of low participation in higher education. b. The content will be delivered by university students or early career professionals. c. For each cohort, the activity will run over a full academic year and expose school students to the science of climate tipping points and why they are important, alongside the remote sensing technologies that are used to monitor them. d. The activity will culminate in the creation of a sensor system for climate measurement at the end of each academic year. e. We envisage supporting a national (all parts of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland) competition where all participating schools can come together to launch their sensor systems at a common location (coordinated by an operating partner). Options: Additional funding, scope and duration could be added to any contracts awarded. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/026583-2024 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Competitive procedure with negotiation | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 21 Aug 2024 | | Submission deadline | 23 Aug 2024 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Active | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | ADVANCED RESEARCH AND INVENTION AGENCY | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | North West London | | Postcode | NW1 2DB | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI36 Camden | | Local authority | Camden | | Electoral ward | St Pancras & Somers Town | | Westminster constituency | Holborn and St Pancras | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services - 80 - Education and training services ### Codes - 73000000 - Research and development services and related consultancy services - 80200000 - Secondary education services ## Release History - 21 Aug 2024 at 07:55 - TenderUpdate - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/026583-2024 - 8 Aug 2024 at 17:20 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/025122-2024 ## Notice URLs - https://www.aria.org.uk/ - https://www.aria.org.uk/supply-to-us/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
