The project is publicly funded under the CPV classification 73110000. The process is in the tender stage, with the submission period closing on 9 December 2024. ARIA, based in London, UK, seeks innovative research that could provide scalable, safe solutions to reduce global temperatures in the near term. Key deadlines include the submission of concept papers by 7 October 2024 and full proposals by 9 December 2024. Selected proposals will receive funding through both contracts and grants, with an engagement period of 1800 days. This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in scientific and technological research, particularly those equipped to address climate change mitigation. Ideal contenders include research institutions, universities, and technologically advanced startups with the capacity for cross-disciplinary collaboration and robust data collection. Successful bidders will benefit from potential additional funding and scope expansions, fostering growth and enhancing their global impact within the R&D ecosystem. ## Notice For more info see here ARIA is an R&D funding agency built to unlock scientific and technological breakthroughs that benefit everyone. We empower scientists and engineers to pursue research at the edge of what is technologically or scientifically possible. We will reach across disciplines, sectors and institutions to shape, fund and manage projects across the R&D ecosystem, from startups to universities, to break down silos and discover new pathways. We are looking for proposals for our Forecasting Tipping Points programme.

There is a real risk that heating already locked-in to the planet could precipitate climate tipping points with serious and irreversible consequences around the world. While the only sustainable way to reduce the risk of such tipping events is through decarbonisation, the risk of crossing one or more in the near future has driven increased interest in approaches to actively reduce global temperatures in the shorter term. Yet, there is a dearth of robust data on these approaches, and we have a limited understanding of whether such interventions are scientifically sound, how they might be steered, or the full extent of their potential impacts. What we're shooting for Following a twelve-month engagement process, this programme will begin to explore whether approaches designed to delay, or avert, climate tipping points could be feasible, scalable, and safe. Our goal: to gather critical missing data and answer fundamental scientific questions that could help prevent humanity from experiencing climate tipping points. 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/029475-2024 | | 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 | 13 Sep 2024 | | Submission deadline | 9 Dec 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 | Not specified | | Postcode | N/A | | Country | Not specified | | ITL 1 | Not specified | | ITL 2 | Not specified | | ITL 3 | Not specified | | Local authority | Not specified | | Electoral ward | Not specified | | Westminster constituency | Not specified | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ### Codes - 73110000 - Research services ## Release History - 13 Sep 2024 at 15:22 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/029475-2024 ## Notice URLs - https://www.aria.org.uk - https://www.aria.org.uk/exploring-climate-cooling/ - https://www.aria.org.uk/faqs-funding/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
