UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Great British Energy is trialling a Climate-Tech Innovation Partnership to identify and work with UK-based climate technology companies. The purpose is to accelerate clean energy deployment and help build the industries, supply chains and jobs that support it. The partnership is intended to reach companies inventing and scaling the technologies needed for this transition, and to develop an evidence-based strategy for Great British Energy’s future engagement with them. The procurement is for research services, with the work focused on climate-tech innovation and the UK clean-energy sector. Great British Energy is the buyer, based in Aberdeen. The information describes a single lot covering the partnership as a whole.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Sustainable Venture Development Partners Ltd. Great British Energy used a direct award below the procurement threshold, without competition. The award was made on 23 September 2026. Its value is £163,737.84 excluding VAT, or £196,485.40 including VAT. The contract period runs from 6 October 2026 to 31 March 2027, with signature scheduled for 6 October 2026. There was one lot, covering the Climate-Tech Innovation Partnership. The stated purpose and scope are to find and work with UK climate-tech companies, support clean-energy deployment and inform the buyer’s future engagement strategy; no separate scoring or evaluation basis is stated.

For suppliers tracking this buyer’s demand, the award shows Great British Energy engaging research and innovation-partnership expertise to identify UK climate-tech companies and develop its approach to working with them. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need the ability to reach companies developing and scaling climate technologies, understand their relevance to clean-energy deployment, and produce evidence-based strategic advice. Knowledge of the UK climate-tech landscape and the industries and supply chains that support clean energy would be pertinent to this specific brief. The award went to a small and medium-sized supplier, showing that the requirement was delivered by an SME; the procurement was a below-threshold direct award rather than a competitive process. The work is focused on research and partnership development, not the purchase or installation of energy technology.
