The tender falls under the industry category of general public services and is located in Edinburgh.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in technology solutions aimed at environmental monitoring and carbon credit schemes. Companies with expertise in developing technological applications for environmental management, carbon measurement, and project efficiency will find this procurement particularly relevant. The contract aims to reduce administrative burdens and improve efficiency in the management of Woodland Carbon Code and Peatland Code projects, making it well-suited for innovative tech firms capable of providing robust, auditable solutions. Additionally, the project offers an excellent chance for small to medium enterprises (SMEs) to collaborate with a high-profile public sector body, fostering business growth and development.

## Notice

The UK Woodland Carbon Code (WCC) and Peatland Code (PC) are at slightly differing stages of their development, and deal with two very different habitat types. However, they are the two major, government-endorsed and ISO certified voluntary carbon standards within the UK, and both share similar administrative processes that help ensure a robust and auditable carbon credit scheme. Advances in both technology and project design mean there are opportunities to help drive efficiencies in each scheme, with a view to reducing administrative burden for landowners, brokers, project developers, buyers and the staff running the projects.

### 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.
