## Summary

The procurement process involves Quality Meat Scotland, located at The Rural Centre, West Mains, Ingliston, UK, which is seeking to develop the "Scottish Red Meat Net Zero and Nature Restoration Roadmap." This initiative falls under the services category and aims to provide a detailed roadmap for the Scottish red meat sector to achieve net zero emissions by 2045. The procurement method utilised is an open procedure, with the tender period ending on 25 February 2022, and the project is actively managed to ensure compliance with Scottish Government targets.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses involved in the Scottish red meat supply chain, including beef and sheep farmers, processors, and feed merchants, all of whom would benefit from contributing to the sustainability roadmap. Businesses with expertise in environmental consultancy and project management could particularly excel in this tender, as it requires scientific backing and strategic insights to align operations from farm gate through to retail. Engaging in this project allows these businesses to not only contribute to environmental goals but also enhance their market positioning and commercial viability within the sector.

## Notice

The purpose of this project is to create a roadmap detailing exactly what the "footprint" of the Scottish Red Meat Sector needs to do and indicative costs involved to meet the Scottish Government targets to achieve net zero by 2045. The "footprint" of the Scottish red meat sector includes, beef and sheep farmers, pig farmers, processors, livestock auction marts, livestock hauliers, feed merchants, catering butchers, retail butchers and food service providers. The main scope of this project is to produce a science backed roadmap that the Scottish red meat industry can use to both demonstrate its credentials and identify where key actions must be taken to meet the Scottish Governments net zero legislation. The roadmap must also ensure that nature restoration and addressing the biodiversity crisis is also addressed. QMS are keen to take a supply chain approach to Net Zero and Nature restoration, so that there is clear alignment from farm gate through to processor and retail level, ensuring that we can realise the commercial potential of reducing emissions and taking actions to benefit nature.
