Description

The CLIMATES programme aligns with the UK's Critical Minerals Strategy, specifically focusing on building and developing resilient supply chains for rare earth elements. These elements are pivotal in electric vehicles, electronics, and wind turbines due to their essential role in making permanent magnets for Net Zero innovations. (https://iuk.ktn- uk.org/programme/circular-critical-materials-supply-chains/).

Innovate UK KTN (via the CLIMATES programme) is looking for expert organisations ('the service provider') to deliver Innovation Landscape reports that:
• Explore the current state of the art technology across the rare earth magnets value
chain, circular economy and alternatives.
• Considering Global and UK technology to provide some level of international
benchmarking.
• Identify the UK academics, Research Technology Organisations (RTOs) and businesses
developing technology and innovation across the rare earth magnets value chain,
circular economy and alternatives.
• Highlight the innovation opportunities for the UK in relation to the emerging technologies.
• Assess and 'map' UK capability to develop and deploy the emerging technologies.
• Highlight the innovation that needs to be developed and deployed for the UK to have a
competitive advantage in the rare earth and permanent magnet supply chain.
There are three landscape reports under the scope of this ITT, covering the following areas:
1. ALTERNATIVES
2. EXTRACTION
3. MAGNET MANUFACTURING

Proposals must be submitted by 5pm, Friday 15th March 2024.
