        "description": "CLOSING TIME FOR BIDS IS 05/09/2018 14:00 HOURS. DO NOT APPLY DIRECTLY TO THE BUYER. To express your interest in this opportunity email ExpressionOfInterest@crowncommercial.gov.uk. To register on our e-sourcing portal click on https://gpsesourcing.cabinetoffice.gov.uk and follow the link \"Register for CCS eSourcing\" Please see attached for the full scope of works. The contract will be awarded based on the criteria set out on the sourcing documents. Contracts for Difference (CFD) are the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy's (BEIS') principle mechanism for supporting large scale low carbon electricity deployment. CFDs for renewable technologies are mainly allocated through an auction mechanism ('Allocation Rounds' or 'ARs'). There have been two CFD auctions to date, AR1 in 2015 and AR2 in 2017. The next allocation round (AR3) will open by May 2019, followed in 2021 by AR4. Further information on the operation of CFDs and previous auctions is available on the BEIS website at: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/contracts-for-difference/contract-for-difference. BEIS is seeking specialist advice for its forthcoming CFD auctions, to ensure that the auctions deliver value for money for consumers whilst securing sufficient renewable electricity generating capacity to meet BEIS' energy policy needs. The government has commited up to PS557m of consumers' money per annum for future CFDs, which generally each have a contract term of 15 years, and therefore it is important that the auction design is robust. We envisage two discrete work packages within one contract. Additional information: DO NOT APPLY DIRECTLY TO THE BUYER As part of the strategic alliance between UK Shared Business Services (UK SBS) and Crown Commercial Service (CCS), UK SBS can use the CCS eSourcing Suite for future procurements.
