This open procedure tender falls under the Education industry category and targets services related to decarbonisation policy making. The tender is currently in the active stage, with key dates including the submission deadline on 23rd October 2024 at 12:00 PM and the award announcement expected later the same day at 2:00 PM. The project will be implemented at ClimateXChange, located in the Edinburgh Climate Change Institute. The total contract value is estimated at £100,000, and submissions must be made electronically. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in environmental data analytics, software development in Python or R, and those with expertise in industrial decarbonisation. Companies with a strong track record in delivering similar projects, possessing robust financial stability and qualified personnel, are well-suited to compete. Successful bidders will contribute to shaping Scotland's future carbon budgets and decarbonisation policies, thus positioning themselves as key players in the emerging green economy. The completion of this project can enhance a company's portfolio and drive business growth by demonstrating capability in complex, impactful environmental projects. ## Notice ClimateXChange (CXC) wishes to procure a new industrial decarbonisation pathway model which builds on the Climate Change Committee's (CCC's) net-zero industrial decarbonisation pathway (NZIP) model . This is to ensure that Scottish Government has an advance tool to process data efficiently and accurately to inform industrial decarbonization policy making and future carbon budgets. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Since the 2021 Climate Change Plan Update , Scottish Government have developed their approach to a decarbonisation pathway model for the industry emissions envelope. The current NZIP model was developed for the CCC for the UK Government's 6th carbon budget in 2020, using 2017 National Atmospheric Emissions Inventory (NAEI) data among other sources. NZIP builds a decarbonisation pathway, considering the emergence of new technologies such as carbon capture and storage (CCS), and hydrogen production and use. However, the model uses assumptions that need to be updated. NZIP was developed in Excel and the model design makes updating assumptions and data difficult. In addition, the model is highly memory intensive and long run times make it impractical to use. The new model will be used to inform industrial decarbonization policy development and future carbon budgets. This project has two phases: (phase 1) the development of a new industrial decarbonisation pathway model in Python or R that builds on NZIP1 and (phase 2) the delivery of a user-friendly interface for those who are not Python/ R literate. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=SEP515048 | | 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 | 27 Sep 2024 | | Submission deadline | 23 Oct 2024 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £100,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | 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 - 90713000 - Environmental issues consultancy services ## Release History - 27 Sep 2024 at 00:00 - Tender - PCS Notice - Website Contract Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=SEP515048 ## Documents - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=SEP515048 A Scottish industrial decarbonisation pathway model - ClimateXChange (CXC) wishes to procure a new industrial decarbonisation pathway model which builds on the Climate Change Committee's (CCC's) net-zero industrial decarbonisation pathway (NZIP) model .
