Digital Upgrade of the UK Greenhouse Gas Inventory System

BEIS wish to procure services to substantially upgrade & improve the software system used to generate annual estimates of Greenhouse Gas & pollutant emissions across the UK. Currently a set of XLS files, Access databases & SQL, with other software linking these, are used to store, process & report data. Outputs from this system are used by UK Gov to report against our emissions targets (inc. Carbon Budgets, Paris Agreement). Based on a requirement that will be provided you will develop a new software approach which streamlines the system, using standard architecture across all inventory sectors to store, analyse, and report emissions. The system will be:

• Modular: such that individual inventory categories can be migrated over time.
• Extendible & Flexible: such that the system can readily accommodate new methods.
• Secure. The supplier must be familiar Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change inventory guidelines and must align the work with these.
