The programme will advance scientific understanding of the role and potential of biomass and bioenergy in supporting climate change mitigation, enhancing energy security, and de-risking the delivery of net zero. It will include research on: Lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions of biomass feedstocks and bioenergy systems Biomass availability and demand across sectors Sustainability criteria and environmental impacts Co-benefits and trade-offs including biodiversity, air and water quality Economic modelling of biomass-derived fuels and materials The bioeconomy and its potential for growth and decarbonisation The following skills and expertise are considered particularly important for this work: Geospatial modelling Spatial data analysis Modelling climate scenarios Scientific research Scientific analysis Policy development Economic research The project will additionally require strong project management capability to support the delivery of this research. Outputs are likely to include: Reports, policy briefings, and technical annexes Updated models (e.g. UK & Global Bioenergy Resource Model) Seminars, workshops, and teach-ins Data sets and scenario analyses to inform policy decisions The programme will be delivered through seven work packages (WP), covering: WP1: Programme Management WP2: Biomass Lifecycle Analysis WP3: Feedstock Availability WP4: Biomass Feedstocks for Industry WP5: Biomass Sustainability Framework (with co-benefits & trade-offs) WP6: Analyses of the Bioeconomy WP7: A Flexible Fund for emerging evidence needs DESNZ is holding a supplier event on MS Teams on 13.01.2026, consisting of a presentation by DESNZ followed by Q&A.", "items": [ { "id": "1", "additionalClassifications": [ { "scheme": "CPV", "id": "73110000", "description": "Research services" } ], "relatedLot": "1", "deliveryAddresses": [ { "region": "UK", "country": "GB", "countryName": "United Kingdom" }, { "region": "UK", "country": "GB", "countryName": "United Kingdom" }, { "region": "UK", "country": "GB", "countryName": "United Kingdom" } ] } ], "value": { "amountGross": 4900000, "amount": 4080000, "currency": "GBP" }, "mainProcurementCategory": "services", "aboveThreshold": true, "lots": [ { "id": "1", "suitability": { "sme": true, "vcse": true }, "contractPeriod": { "startDate": "2026-04-20T00:00:00+01:00", "endDate": "2030-03-31T23:59:59+01:00" }, "status": "planned" } ], "communication": { "futureNoticeDate": "2026-03-30T23:59:59+01:00" }, "status": "planned", "amendments": [ { "id": "003086-2026", "description": "Update on 14/01/2026: Following the Preliminary Market Engagement Event, we have attached the presentation slides to the Opportunity Listing in Jaggaer which can be accessed here: https://beisgroup.ukp.app.jaggaer.com/esop/guest/go/opportunity/detail?opportunityId=60672 If you are a Supplier interested to find partners to bid for the Biomass Research Programme please complete the form below. https://forms.office.com/e/Yy0Vr1bc3u The results will be periodically published on the above opportunity listing.
