## Summary

The Scottish Government is inviting tenders for the project titled "CivTech 4 C10 can tech enforce a Blue Badge holder exemption from Low Emission Zones in Scotland?" This initiative falls under public services and aims to explore innovative technological solutions to enforce exemptions for Blue Badge holders from Low Emission Zones in Scotland. The procurement process, currently at the Tender stage, employs an open procedure and has a submission deadline that requires responses to be submitted electronically. This contract has an estimated value of £250,000 and was last updated on 25 July 2019, with the procurement setting based in Edinburgh, UK.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for technology firms, particularly those with expertise in environmental solutions, smart city technology, and accessibility innovations. Suppliers who specialise in developing software or systems capable of integrating with transport and regulatory frameworks would be well-positioned to compete. By engaging in this project, businesses can enhance their visibility within public sector markets and contribute to advancing sustainable transport policies while focusing on real-world applications to improve the lives of Blue Badge holders.

## Notice

The Transport (Scotland) Bill (which is currently going through parliamentary scrutiny) sets out powers for local authorities to introduce and enforce Low Emission Zone (LEZ) access restrictions. The Bill also provides powers for Scottish Ministers to create regulations to specify vehicles or types of vehicle which are to be exempt from LEZs. Blue Badge Holders are being considered, however enforcement of such an exemption could be extremely challenging. How can we use technology to help enforce a potential Blue Badge holder exemption from Low Emission Zones in Scotland?
