How can policy better support SMEs in the pathway to Net Zero

Description

The Climate Change Committee (CCC) plans to publish a report in 2022 to advise Government on business action, including a section on SMEs. The report will summarise the actions needed from SMEs to contribute to the Sixth Carbon Budget, evaluate the climate policies in place that currently impact SMEs and suggest new or strengthened policies. To inform this publication, the CCC is tendering a project 1) to understand the actions that priority SMEs groups should be taking to meet the Sixth Carbon Budget 2) to evaluate existing SME-focussed policies and to highlight where these leave gaps and 3) to suggest changes to existing policies or new/alternative policies that would engage more SMEs in reducing their emissions effectively. Given timescales for publication, the tendered work needs to be delivered by end of April 2022, at a cost of £25,000 - £40,000 plus VAT. The CCC's past reports are available here: http://www.theccc.org.uk/reports/. **** See Specification for more detail ****
