Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Committee on Climate Change is conducting an open tender for the project titled "Analysis to provide costs, efficiencies and roll-out trajectories for zero emission HGVs, buses and coaches." This procurement falls under the research and development services industry category and is located in London, United Kingdom. The tender period is set to close on 16 December 2019, with the contract commencement planned for 20 January 2020, and a duration until 20 April 2020. The estimated value for this contract is £50,000, and it is open to both small and medium-sized enterprises as well as voluntary, community, and social enterprises.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses engaged in sustainable transport solutions, particularly those focusing on zero-emission technologies such as hydrogen fuel cells, battery electric vehicles, and innovative charging infrastructure. Companies specialising in research, consultancy, and technological development in the transport sector would be well-suited to compete for this contract, benefiting from the increasing emphasis on reducing greenhouse gas emissions within the UK's heavy vehicle sector.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Analysis to provide costs, efficiencies and roll-out trajectories for zero emission HGVs, buses and coaches

Notice Description

The Committee on Climate Change will publish its recommendation on the level of the Sixth Carbon Budget in Autumn 2020. This will provide ministers with advice on the volume of greenhouse gases the UK can emit during the period 2033-37. It will also set the path to the UK's new net-zero emissions target in 2050, as the first carbon budget to be set into law following that commitment. The surface transport sector was the largest-emitting sector in the UK in 2018, accounting for 23% of UK greenhouse gas emissions. Achieving deep emissions reductions in the surface transport sector will require the use of zero-emission vehicles, which make use of electricity or hydrogen from an increasingly decarbonised power sector. Whilst battery electric vehicles are the most promising technology option for the light duty vehicle sector, the most cost-effective technology to decarbonise the heavy duty vehicle sector is not yet clear. Given the need to reduce transport emissions to zero wherever possible, the CCC have identified the following likely technology options: * Hydrogen fuel cell vehicles combined with hydrogen refuelling stations * Battery electric vehicles with extremely fast chargers at strategic stopping points * Battery electric vehicles supported by on-road charging infrastructure such as overhead catenaries, dynamic wireless inductive charging or conductive charging. * A hybrid solution combining elements of each of the above. It should be noted that the CCC recently conducted a review of the uses of biomass in a low-carbon economy, which found that there was no long-term role for the use of biofuels in road transport, and therefore the use of biofuels is explicitly excluded here. The heavy vehicle sector is defined here as consisting of trucks with a maximum operating weight of over 3.5 tonnes, buses and coaches. Three types of HGV must be considered: small rigid vehicles (gross vehicle weight (gvw) < 16 tonnes), large rigid vehicles (gvw>16 tonnes) and articulated vehicles (consisting of a separate tractor and trailer of any weight), as well as buses and coaches. Zero emissions in the context of this specification refers to zero emission vehicles at the tailpipe (e.g. tank-to-wheel). *** - See Specification for more detail ***
