## Summary

The public procurement process involves Ofgem inviting tenders for the project titled "Exploring the value of baseload capacity and developing modelling capability - Lot 1 and Lot 2". This tender categorised under energy and related services is located throughout various regions in the United Kingdom. The procurement is currently in the tender stage, with an end date for submissions of 31 January 2018. The total value of the contract ranges from £50,000 to £100,000, and it follows an open procurement method tailored for below-threshold projects.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in modelling analysis and energy systems. Companies that can provide high-quality analytical insights into the marginal value of baseload capacity or enhance Ofgem's in-house modelling capabilities would be well-suited to compete. This includes small and medium enterprises (SMEs) as they are eligible to submit bids, thus fostering a competitive environment for innovative service providers in the energy sector.

## Notice

This Project is divided into two Lots; bidders may compete for either one, or both. Lot 1 requires high quality modelling analysis to provide answer the question 'what is the marginal value of additional baseload capacity, in a future where carbon budgets are delivered and greater energy system flexibility is achievable'? The successful Contractor will consider different future scenarios to reflect uncertainties and provide results that are useful in guiding policy decisions that may affect the future technological composition (or 'mix') of capacity and energy. Comparison of scenarios should shed light on the capacity and generation mix, such as limits of optimal ranges of baseload capacity in future as well as sensitivity of these answers to assumptions. Lot 2 helps to build Ofgem's in-house modelling capability, while shedding light on the question posed in Lot 1. Lot 2 helps to build Ofgem's in-house modelling capability, while shedding light on the question posed in Lot 1. Full details are set out in the ITT.
