## Summary

The Scottish Government is conducting a tender for a project titled "Investigate prevalence of CO2 from disused mineral mines and implications for residential buildings." This initiative falls under the general public services category and is located in the UK. The procurement process is currently in the Award stage, with an active contract valued at £19,260 signed on 3rd October 2018. The tender period for bids opened on 15th August 2018 and is associated with services necessitating open procurement methods.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in environmental research, particularly those specialising in building regulations and carbon management. Companies well-suited to compete include those with expertise in geotechnical engineering, environmental consulting, and risk assessment, as they can provide solutions to address the implications of carbon dioxide leaks in residential areas formerly used for mining. Engaging in this procurement process could allow businesses to contribute to important regulatory developments and expand their portfolios in the public service sector.

## Notice

In 2017 a report on the investigation into carbon dioxide leaks into homes in Gorebridge was published. The report recommended that mine gas mitigation measures should be made mandatory in all new residential and similar developments in areas designated by the Coal Authority as former mining areas. This research will explore how 'typical' the Incident Management Team (IMT) findings from this incident could become if no action is taken in terms of Scottish building regulations. It will also help inform if any action is necessary and help ensure that any action considered would be proportionate, consistent, accountable, transparent and targeted.
