## Summary

The Scottish Government has initiated a procurement process under the title "How can technology help manufacturing businesses decarbonise while building resilience and strengthening competitive advantage." This project, focused on the services industry, aims to assist manufacturers in Scotland in evaluating their environmental impact, crucial for achieving Net Zero 2045. The procurement method employed is an open procedure. The procurement stage has reached completion, with the contract awarded to EngagedX on 11 February 2022, and the contract value is set at £605,000. The delivery is to be conducted within the UK, with reference related to CivTech challenges and requirements for voicing proposals effectively.

This opportunity presents significant potential for businesses that specialise in technological solutions aimed at sustainability and environmental impact assessment, especially within the manufacturing sector. Companies with expertise in carbon footprint analysis, innovative software development, and environmental consulting could thrive in this context. Moreover, small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that excel in delivering agile and impactful responses will find themselves well-suited to compete and collaborate with the Scottish Government in addressing these critical challenges, ultimately contributing to a greener economy.

## Notice

Manufacturing is a key sector in Scotland, providing business research and development, and high quality employment (approximately 170,000 people). It also needs to play a key role in helping Scotland work towards Net Zero 2045 but at the moment it is difficult for manufacturers to understand their environmental impact and the make the changes required. Our Challenge therefore is to help manufacturers assess their environmental footprint; for instance quickly estimating the carbon impact of their operations.

In short: Open Challenges are set. Any organisation, team or individual can respond. Applications are assessed, and shortlisted proposals go into an Exploration Stage where they're developed further [for which participating applicants are paid]. The best go through to the Accelerator - a period of intensive work to create the solution, and through CivTech's unique business workshop system, a business capable of taking the product to the world.
