The services required include organisational set-up support, operational design and delivery, market entry advice, and bespoke technical support. Businesses interested in bidding should note key dates such as the tender submission deadline on 13 March 2026, with potential contracts commencing on 30 April 2026 and lasting until 29 April 2028, with possible extension.

Notice Title

Provision of Technical & Professional Advisory Services for Great British Energy (2026-2028)

Notice Description

Great British Energy ("GBE") is a company registered in Scotland, with the Secretary of State for the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero ("DESNZ") being the sole shareholder. GBE will be a publicly owned energy generation company. It will invest in, develop, build and operate the technology the UK needs to increase its energy independence and give communities a direct stake in the clean energy revolution. It will do this through its own initiatives but also through partnering and working collaboratively with industry, local authorities and communities and other public sector organisations, to spread skilled jobs and investment across the country. GBE has identified that it will have a number of requirements where it would require external third-party support to help GBE carry out its functions. These requirements can fall into four broad thematic areas: Organisational set up support First time process and operational design and delivery Market entry advice Business as usual bespoke technical support A provisional pipeline of activity is included within the tender documents, and each activity will be the subject of a Commission to be delivered under the Contract. Knowledge sharing and building a sustainable business for GBE is a key component of Service deliverables also. GBE is seeking to place two Contracts to deliver these services, with a Supplier A and a Supplier B SHARING the PS10m (including VAT) programme spend, with two Contracts to be awarded BOTH UP TO PS10m (including VAT), hence PS20m value in this Notice. To note the total value of Services to be delivered under this Contract is not PS20m. Supplier A will deliver the bulk of the activity, unless there is a conflict of interest or resourcing issue at which point Supplier B would deliver a Commission. A Market Engagement Event occurred 10th December and feedback was obtained from attendees. As a result of this feedback there have been a number of changes to the initial scope, value and duration of the services presented at the event, as we sought to accommodate the market's comments and views. Please see tender documents, available on the link below for details. To note that: A UK1: Pipeline notice was published: Notice identifier: 2025/S 000-079307 Procurement identifier (OCID): ocds-h6vhtk-05eddb And a UK2: Preliminary market engagement notice was published: Notice identifier: 2025/S 000-079312 Procurement identifier (OCID): ocds-h6vhtk-05eddb However, since the Pipeline notice was published, the procedure has changed from Competitive Flexible Procedure to Open Procedure.
