## Summary

The Scottish Government is currently in the award stage of the tender titled "Bus Electrification Scottish Commercial and Economic Context." This procurement falls under the services category, addressing the critical need for decarbonising public transport due to Scotland's ambitious climate change targets. The tender was initiated to respond to the challenge of reducing transport emissions, with a focus on encouraging the shift from private vehicle use to more sustainable forms of public transport. The contract, valued at £45,000, was signed on 15th May 2020, with the procurement method classified as an open procedure. The process was completed on 2nd July 2020, and the location of the procurement is Edinburgh, Scotland.

This procurement offers significant opportunities for businesses involved in sustainable transport solutions, technology development, and electrification services. Companies specialising in emissions reduction technologies or public transport services will find themselves well-suited to compete for similar contracts, which are likely to emerge as the Scottish Government continues to pursue its climate objectives. Given the specificity of the climate-related goals, businesses that can provide innovative and effective transport solutions will be in a strong position to engage with future tenders aimed at enhancing sustainable public transport infrastructure.

## Notice

In 2019 the Scottish Government legislated to increase the ambition of its climate change targets, setting a target of net-zero greenhouse gases by 2045 at the latest. The Climate Change (Scotland) Act also set the world's most ambitious climate change targets for 2030 (75% emission reduction) and 2040 (90% emissions reduction, equivalent to carbon neutrality), and increased the annual targets for every year in between these headline targets. Within Scotland, transport is currently the largest emitting of all sectors and there is strong political and public pressure to decarbonise the transport system at pace. Scottish Government and Scottish Local Authorities are therefore exploring ways and mechanisms to reduce emissions from transport at pace. With respect to public transport there are two intertwined aspects to this: the first is to encourage modal shift from private vehicles to public and other sustainable forms of transport to reduce emissions overall; and the second is to reduce emissions from public transport vehicles through technological advances.
