UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) is managing a procurement process under the title "TA Support to Renewing the UK's Energy Transition Programme in Indonesia (MENTARI 2)," aimed at advancing the UK's low carbon energy initiative in Indonesia. This initiative is part of the MENTARI programme and seeks to build upon existing efforts to support the country's transition to renewable energy. The procurement process, currently in the planning stage as of November 2025, comprises services related to foreign economic-aid. The official address for the FCDO is King Charles Street, London, with the contracting activities primarily focused in Indonesia. An important milestone is that suppliers can communicate through a dedicated channel until the extended deadline of 31 January 2026, following an initial proposal of 30 November 2025.

The MENTARI 2 programme holds substantial potential for businesses specializing in low carbon energy consulting, infrastructure development, policy advisory, and technology provision. Opportunities exist for firms to participate in shaping Indonesia's energy landscape by engaging in policy enhancement, rural electrification projects, and forming partnerships with local institutions. This tender is particularly suitable for SMEs that have innovative solutions in clean energy investments or blended finance structures. Companies with expertise in gender and social inclusion are also encouraged to contend, as these aspects are integral to the programme's implementation. Competitive positioning in such cross-sectoral works can serve as a platform for business growth into other emerging economies focused on sustainable energy transitions.
