Descriptions

****CONTRACT HAS BEEN AWARDED**** The final date and time for the submission of bids is Friday, 04th October 2024 at 11:00 DO NOT apply directly to the buyer. All tender information MUST be submitted through the Jaggaer eSourcing Portal. Brief Description of Requirement Scope The Department of Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT) are looking for an initial pathfinder study, to assess the scale of the issue before further policy and analysis decisions are taken. The initial scope of this work is limited to UK territorial emissions, but options to expand beyond this may be considered in the future, subject to internal funding and policy decisions. An exact definition of territorial boundary can be agreed at the inception meeting, but as a starter, bidders should take this to mean GHG emissions that take place within the territorial boundaries of the United Kingdom. Aims and Objectives The primary aim of this project is to establish a central understanding of the current GHG emissions of the UK space sector, and the extent to which these are already accounted for by wider Net Zero policy. Secondary to this, this project will provide an initial speculative view on future scenarios, accounting for different levels of future growth of the sector and estimates for levels of GHG emissions as a result of this growth. This will be used to develop an internal government understanding of our own policy impacts on emissions within a growing space sector, and in turn provide evidence for whether further policy and analysis decisions on UK space emissions should be taken.
