Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Energy Security & Net Zero is seeking to procure services for its Global Carbon Finance Model (GLOCAF) to further UK's energy security and net-zero goals. The procurement process, valued at £220,000, aims to acquire updated datasets related to emissions from energy and industry sectors, covering both carbon dioxide and non-carbon dioxide emissions and abatement costs. The procurement, currently in its planning stage, involves an open procedure and is set to commence shortly with active involvement anticipated until mid-February 2025. The scope includes providing comprehensive data, accompanied by a detailed report, weekly engagements, and minimum two stakeholder presentations.

This tender provides significant opportunities for businesses specializing in environmental research, data analytics, and energy modelling. Companies with expertise in creating detailed emissions datasets and marginal abatement cost curves, ideally with historical data alignment to UNFCCC figures, will find this tender highly relevant. Businesses equipped to deliver projections using comprehensive energy models incorporating variables like energy demand, fuel prices, GDP, and population data will be well-positioned to compete. The detailed scope and ongoing collaboration with the Department make this attractive for firms aiming to support robust climate policy and strategy in the UK.

Notice Title

The Global Carbon Finance Model (GLOCAF)

Notice Description

The Global Carbon Finance Model (GLOCAF) is DESNZ's in-house model of hypothetical international carbon markets and global decarbonisation scenarios at 5-yearly time horizons up to 2050. It is used to provide a robust evidence base to inform UK international climate change policy and strategy, modelling the most cost-effective distribution of abatement across sectors and regions given different abatement targets at global, regional or sectoral levels. From an international perspective, outputs from the GLOCAF model inform the UK's understanding of global decarbonisation scenarios and implementation of international climate commitments. Domestically, GLOCAF outputs are used as part of the evidence base that informs the emissions targets included in domestic legislation, as set out in the carbon budgets orders and in the net zero 2050 target. GLOCAF currently allows modelling of up to 26 countries/regions (including emissions from international aviation and maritime transport as separate 'regions'). Together, these countries/regions provide global coverage. For example, the Americas are currently split into six countries/regions: Canada, USA, Mexico, Rest of Central America, Brazil, and Rest of South America. GLOCAF can currently model up to 27 sectors. The aim of a data procurement is to provide an updated dataset of emissions from energy and industry Sectors; carbon dioxide and non-carbon dioxide emissions, e.g. methane; and abatement costs across a regional and sectoral disaggregation used as inputs to the GLOCAF model. The necessary breakdowns are summarised as follows: Historic data and projections of emissions from energy and industry sectors, including process emissions, and the costs of reducing them are required, at global coverage, for the years 1990 - 2050 at 5-yearly intervals: historic data with projections of a Business as Usual [BaU] / Current Policy scenario and the costs of reducing emissions to be modelled in the form of marginal abatement cost curves [MACCs] for at least the period 2030-2050. The BaU provides a counterfactual from which MACCs can be subtracted to model future emissions projections given different action scenarios. It is necessary that the MACCs reflect a range of action pathways. Traditionally the MACCs have simulated 3 approaches to climate action: progressive climate action policy adoption, or rather a linear adoption of increased climate ambition policies; early action reflecting largescale, near term investment in climate ambition policies and technology, modelling greater abatement costs in the short-term, but low abatement costs overall; and delayed action where action is deferred and the curve of abatement follows an exponential growth shape reaching high marginal costs.

    "description": "To further the UK Government's ability to deliver Energy Security and progress towards Net Zero, DESNZ is seeking to procure datasets of emissions from energy and industry Sectors; carbon dioxide and non-carbon dioxide emissions and abatement costs at a global and regional breakdown. These will be used as inputs to the GLOCAF model. The Global Carbon Finance Model (GLOCAF) is DESNZ's in-house model of hypothetical international carbon markets and global decarbonisation scenarios at 5-yearly time horizons up to 2050. It is used to provide a robust evidence base to inform UK international climate change policy and strategy, modelling the most cost-effective distribution of abatement across sectors and regions given different abatement targets at global, regional or sectoral levels. From an international perspective, outputs from the GLOCAF model inform the UK's understanding of global decarbonisation scenarios and implementation of international climate commitments. Domestically, GLOCAF outputs are used as part of the evidence base that informs the emissions targets included in domestic legislation, as set out in the carbon budgets orders and in the net zero 2050 target. We seek a service that offers projections using an energy model drawing on key variables such as energy demand and fuel prices, macro-economic parameters of GDP and population data, and historic emissions. Historic emissions should be calibrated to UNFCCC figures. Projected emissions data must be aligned to internationally recognised and accepted sources. If your services are equipped to meet these requirements, we invite you to submit a tender to this procurement.",
