The procurement stage is currently active, with a tender value of £79,167 GBP. The deadline for tender submission is 1st May 2023. The procurement method is an open procedure, and the tender is located in Edinburgh, UK. The University of Edinburgh is the buying organization for this consultancy opportunity. This tender from the University of Edinburgh offers an opportunity for consultancy firms specialised in renewable energy to compete. Businesses with expertise in reviewing carbon calculator applications and providing guidance to support non-expert planners would be well-suited to bid for this opportunity. This tender aims to update the carbon calculator for windfarm developments on Scottish peatlands to ensure accurate assessment of carbon impacts and support decision-making by the Scottish Government. ## Notice To review the latest research on the application and function of the carbon calculator as a tool in the energy consent decision-making process, in respect of windfarm developments on Scottish Peatlands, to propose updates, if required, and to incorporate quality assurance mechanisms throughout the planning and construction phases; to develop appropriate guidance to support interpretation by non-expert planners; and to explore potential future uses of the tool. ### Lot Information Lot 1 ClimateXChange wishes to commission work to consider whether the carbon calculator requires updates in respect of windfarms on Scottish Peatlands. This is to ensure that the Scottish Government has adequate tools to help assess the net carbon impacts of development proposals on peatlands and other carbon-rich soils in Scotland. The carbon calculator for windfarms on Scottish peatlands was designed to support decision making on large scale wind farm development within Scotland, by assessing the site-specific carbon impact of individual windfarm proposals. This is done by comparing the carbon costs of wind farm development with the carbon savings attributable to the subsequent production of renewable energy.. The work is commissioned on behalf of the Scottish Government. The ownership of the research material including the final report and any data produced as a result of the research lies with ClimateXChange on behalf of Scottish Ministers. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=MAR474291 | | Notice type | PCS Notice - Website Contract Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 22 Mar 2023 | | Submission deadline | 1 May 2023 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £79,167 | | Lots value | £79,167 | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Active | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | UNIVERSITY OF EDINBURGH | | Locality | EDINBURGH | | Post town | Edinburgh | | Postcode | EH1 1HT | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM1 East Central Scotland | | ITL 3 | TLM13 City of Edinburgh | | Local authority | City of Edinburgh | | Electoral ward | City Centre | | Westminster constituency | Edinburgh East and Musselburgh | | Delivery location | TLM75 City of Edinburgh | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 90 - Sewage, refuse, cleaning and environmental services ### Codes - 90710000 - Environmental management - 90713000 - Environmental issues consultancy services ## Release History - 22 Mar 2023 at 00:00 - Tender - PCS Notice - Website Contract Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=MAR474291 ## Documents - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=MAR474291 Consultancy to review the application and function of the carbon calculator. - To review the latest research on the application and function of the carbon calculator as a tool in the energy consent decision-making process, in respect of windfarm developments on Scottish Peatlands, to propose updates, if required, and to incorporate quality assurance mechanisms throughout the planning and construction phases; to develop appropriate guidance to support interpretation by non-expert planners; and to explore potential future uses of the tool. ## Notice URLs - http:// - http://www.ed.ac.uk - http://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/info/InfoCentre.aspx?ID=2343 - https://api.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/v1/Notice?id=ocds-r6ebe6-0000723597 - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/ - https://www.publictendersscotland.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
