UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Energy Security & Net Zero bought a subscription to Modo Energy for staff monitoring the battery sector. It provides market intelligence, analysis and forecasting tools covering battery revenues and build-out in Great Britain, monthly analysis of revenue drivers, and weekly analysis of battery-related policy and regulation. The service also includes detailed intelligence on key international battery-storage markets, including Texas, California and Australia, with coverage of developments in Spain, Germany, New York, France, Italy, Ireland, Poland and other relevant jurisdictions. Revenue forecasts are updated to reflect market developments, policy changes and modelling assumptions. This is a specialist information and subscription service for public-sector energy teams, rather than a purchase of battery equipment or installation work. The service is delivered in the United Kingdom.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Modo Energy Limited. The Department used a direct award without competition under a below-threshold procedure. The contract was signed on 24 September 2026 and runs from 28 September 2026 to 27 September 2027, with a possible 12-month extension if the subscription remains required and offers value for money; the maximum stated period ends 27 September 2028. The contract value is £30,000 excluding VAT (£36,000 including VAT). The purchase was for one lot. The contract is active. No separate evaluation criteria are stated in the procurement details.

For energy-market intelligence suppliers, this award shows the Department’s demand for a specialist battery-storage subscription that supports ongoing monitoring of the sector. A credible alternative would need to provide robust analysis of Great Britain battery revenues and build-out, explain market revenue drivers, and track relevant policy and regulatory developments, including government, NESO and Ofgem activity. The service also needs meaningful international coverage, particularly of Texas, California and Australia, alongside awareness of developments across European markets and elsewhere. Regularly updated revenue forecasts, with transparent responsiveness to market changes, policy and modelling assumptions, are central to the requirement. Suppliers competing for similar work would need to combine current data, forecasting capability and clear analytical reporting in a usable subscription service for government staff.
