## Summary

The contracting process is being led by the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero, located at 55 Whitehall, London. This procurement focuses on the industry category of research services, specifically the "Non-Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) Reliant Greenhouse Gas Removals (GGR)" project. The project aims to explore research opportunities for non-CCS reliant GGRs, including biochar, enhanced weathering, and marine carbon dioxide removal. The current procurement stage is planning, with a supplier engagement call scheduled for 13th July 2026 at 2:00 pm GMT, and the deadline for clarification questions is by 5 pm GMT on 20th July 2026. This opportunity, valued at £488,000, falls under the services main procurement category and includes a planning period that precedes contract implementation scheduled to begin on 4th January 2027.

This tender presents significant opportunities for growth, especially for SMEs and VCSEs with expertise in environmental research and innovative GGR solutions. Participating businesses can benefit from collaborating with a central government authority and contributing to national carbon reduction targets. Companies with capabilities in evidence review, stakeholder engagement, and policy development are ideally positioned to form consortia to deliver diverse outputs such as databases, case studies, and policy briefings. This contract provides a platform for expanding business credentials while engaging in impactful environmental work crucial to meeting the UK’s net zero objectives.

## Notice

DESNZ is seeking supplier(s) to deliver research on opportunities for effective and responsible research and/or deployment of non-CCS reliant GGRs, including biochar, enhanced weathering (EW) and marine carbon dioxide removal (mCDR), over timescales relevant to meeting our carbon budgets and net zero targets. The programme will provide targeted evidence for near-term policy milestones, examining: the real-world performance of these GGRs; approaches to monitoring, reporting and verification; suitable UK conditions for research (mCDR) and deployment (biochar, EW), and feasible UK-specific delivery pathways; and associated barriers, opportunities, risks and benefits. Given the breadth of technical expertise and range of anticipated methods required (e.g., evidence review and synthesis, stakeholder engagement, pathway development) and outputs (e.g., briefings, databases, case studies, teach-ins) DESNZ anticipates a consortium of suppliers will deliver this research.
