## Summary

The Scottish Government is seeking to engage an external service provider through an open tender for the project titled "Mobilising private investment in natural capital." This initiative, which falls under the services category and particularly relates to general public services and education, aims to establish the investment case for a Scotland Carbon Fund and a price floor mechanism. The tender is currently complete, with the contract awarded to Finance Earth, valued at £93,923, and was officially signed on 11th February 2022. The project is based in Glasgow, reflecting a focus on developing sustainable investment strategies within the region.

This procurement process creates significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in environmental finance, carbon market strategies, and sustainability consulting. Companies that can demonstrate expertise in action research and economic analysis related to natural capital investment are particularly well-suited to compete. With the emphasis on mobilising private investment, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, providing a potential avenue for innovative solutions that align with the Scottish Government's environmental objectives.
