Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) has recently awarded a contract for independent technical advisory and review services related to the UK Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS). The services, valued at £24,944, have been awarded to Jacobs UK Ltd. The expertise required includes conducting reviews of Activity Level Change (ALC) Reports for determining 2024 free allowances and advising on new entrant reserve applications. This contract, which spans from 18th November 2024 to 15th March 2025, focuses on professional services for the gas and oil industries. The procurement method was selective, as it was a call-off from a framework agreement. The project is set to impact a wide range of geographical locations including the British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, Rest of the World, and the United Kingdom.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in the offshore oil and gas sector with experience in emissions trading schemes. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) particularly stand to benefit, as the contract specifications are conducive to their participation. Businesses well-versed in EU and UK ETS protocols and with a history of conducting ALC reviews are particularly well-suited to compete. Engaging in this contract can help businesses establish a niche expertise in regulatory compliance and environmental advisory services within the energy sector, potentially leading to more opportunities in related future tenders from DESNZ and other regulatory bodies.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Independent technical advisory and review services relating to UK Emissions Trading Scheme

Notice Description

The Offshore Petroleum Regulator for Environment and Decommissioning (OPRED) is part of DESNZ's Energy Infrastructure Directorate. OPRED is responsible for regulating environmental and decommissioning activity for offshore oil and gas operations, including carbon capture and storage on the UK continental shelf (UKCS). OPRED wishes to contract the services of an independent specialist contractor for the Offshore Oil and Gas sector that has a wide sectoral exposure to EU ETS and UK ETS, and with specific experience of undertaking the ALC review process outside the offshore oil and gas sector. This is an approach that has already successfully been adopted by other UK ETS regulators. The contractor will be required to undertake some atmospheric specialist work to carry out an independent review of Activity Level Change Reports (ALC) for determining 2024 free allowances and a new entrant reserve (NER) application for a free allocation. In addition, the contractor will be required to provide a piece of independent specialist advice on carbon leakage changes during the allocation period which will be used to inform OPRED's current policy on implementation of such changes. It will also inform potential changes to future policy and guidance.
