## Summary

The Scottish Government is conducting a procurement process titled "How can technology help us identify peatland restoration sites that will optimise costs and benefits?" This initiative falls under the services category and aims to assess degraded peatland for restoration, primarily focusing on reducing carbon emissions as well as enhancing biodiversity and water quality. The procurement method is an open procedure, with the tender period having been extended, allowing submissions until noon on 12 July 2021. The project is based in Edinburgh, Scotland, and encourages various stakeholders to participate actively in restoring vital ecosystems.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in environmental solutions, technology, and consultancy services related to sustainability. Companies, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that focus on innovation in ecological restoration, water management, and carbon footprint reduction, would be well-suited to respond. The CivTech approach encourages collaboration and rapid product development, making it an excellent platform for businesses looking to develop new solutions and secure contracts with the public sector, thus fostering potential growth and innovation while contributing to environmental sustainability.

## Notice

We don't know which degraded peatland sites offer the best cost-benefit balance from restoration. The main benefit sought from restoration is a reduction in carbon emissions but there are associated benefits for biodiversity, water quality and flood management.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

CivTech's mission is to drive daring and innovation in the public sector by collaboratively solving challenges that make people's lives better - and in doing so create generations of sustainable, high growth businesses. CivTech brings together public sector expertise and private sector innovation to solve real problems, develop new products, and deliver better, faster and easier services for everyone. Central to the approach is co-production with the citizen. Part of the Scottish Government's Digital Directorate, CivTech's approach is helping transform public sector engagement with tech and innovation, delivering significant benefits to public services, producing genuine uplifts for the Scottish economy - and along the way, making lives better. Across the country there are problems public sector organisations would like to solve and in the current environment the need for smart, efficient and effective products has never been greater. The Scottish Government is aware innovation is a good way to create them and is committed to ensuring a large part of its tech spend goes to smaller, innovative businesses. This is where CivTech comes in. The CivTech Innovation Flow is designed to create products as quickly and effectively as possible, and uses a true Accelerator model at the heart of its Innovation Flow model. For you - whether you're an individual, team or company - it's an opportunity to take on a Challenge, solve it, and win contracts with a blue-chip public sector organisation. You'll build a product, and a business to take it as far as possible. Because here's the kicker: the Challenges we issue aren't 'single organisation' problems - most exist worldwide. 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.
