Summary of the contracting process

National Wealth Fund Limited commissioned battery energy storage market data services for its work in the UK battery storage market. The requirement is for specialist data services, market and economic research, and related consultancy. Suppliers must provide forecasting market data for battery energy storage system assets through an interactive online platform, with access to periodic reports. The service also covers outturn revenue data for individual assets and the UK fleet, separated by each part of the revenue stack, with optimiser performance data where available. Users must be able to access, manipulate and customise the web-based platform on demand without relying on the supplier. The requirement includes implementation and onboarding support, followed by ongoing service support. Delivery covers the UK.

The procurement has been awarded through a limited procedure without prior publication of a competition notice, using a Dynamic Purchasing System. Two active contracts were awarded: Aurora Energy Research Limited and Modo Energy Limited. The contracts were signed on 4 April 2025 and 31 March 2025 respectively. Each has a three-year initial subscription period, with two optional one-year extensions, allowing a maximum five-year term. The aggregated contract value is between £616,250 and £1,044,250 excluding VAT, depending on extension options. The requirement was evaluated 65% on technical quality and 35% on cost. Two bids were recorded, including one from an SME; valid bids ranged from £300,000 to £500,000 for one contract and from £316,250 to £544,250 for the other.

This award demonstrates demand from National Wealth Fund Limited for commercial intelligence focused specifically on battery energy storage systems in the UK. Relevant competitors would need demonstrable capability in forecasting BESS market data, asset-level and fleet-level revenue analysis, and breaking revenue down across the full revenue stack. A credible solution would combine reliable data with an interactive platform that allows specialist users to interrogate, manipulate and customise information independently. Experience of showing optimiser performance would strengthen the offer where that data can be supported. Suppliers should also be able to onboard users smoothly, provide periodic reporting and maintain dependable ongoing support. The competition attracted two bidders, including an SME, indicating that specialist smaller providers can compete alongside larger research businesses.
