The procurement method is an open procedure, with a contract period starting on 4th December 2023 and ending on 29th February 2024. The tender deadline is set for 24th November 2023. This tender presents an opportunity for UK SMEs interested in the Indian market to engage in the decarbonisation of transport systems.

ITES is a bilateral collaboration to address key challenges around the decarbonisation of transport by carrying out joint research into specific sustainable transport issues and enabling the piloting, support and scale up of new sustainable solutions. It: * engages with and supports industry in developing solutions for hard to decarbonise parts of the transport system collaboratively or linking them to innovators * considers the whole systems aspects around transport challenges, from consumer acceptance to supporting infrastructure and impact on the energy generation system * looks to link leading Indian and UK research organisations, builds on success of the Innovating for Clean Air (IfCA) programme and provides a springboard for UK and Indian innovators/start-ups to trial their solutions in a low-risk environment * offers innovators access to technical skills and expertise to support them bringing their products to market, as well as potentially facilities, in the longer-term * looks to attract public, private and third sector partners and sponsors to ensure activities are market-led and solving practical problems and to decrease the need for UK government funding in the long-term * provides a long-term, established base for UK - India partnerships and programmes in the Net Zero space, with the potential to expand to other sectors over time * offers a "soft-landing" for UK SMEs interested in the Indian market, and vice versa, linking them to opportunities, collaborators and potential investment * offers links to conduct knowledge exchange between UK and Indian organisations The Export Roadmap is a document created by ESC to provide a clear and structured approach and guidelines for UK innovators looking to investigate and prepare for export opportunities in a target market. The goal is to provide a tool that informs innovators and outlines logical, structured steps they could take to explore and be successful with export to India. It includes sections such as: * Section 1: assessing export readiness * Section 2: identifying target market(s) * Section 3: understanding target markets The following sections are India specific: * Section 4: preparing for opportunities * Section 5: long-term planning * Section 6: market engagement * Section 7: delivering opportunities in target markets It currently takes the form of a PPT / presentation make that can be worked through by an innovator independently or in a guided fashion. It includes approx. 70 slides, approximately 15 of which are example templates. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c60b58a0-15c0-4d71-8c29-c87e0fd40c55 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 30 Oct 2023 | | Submission deadline | 24 Nov 2023 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 4 Dec 2023 - 29 Feb 2024 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £35,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | ENERGY SYSTEMS CATAPULT LIMITED | | Locality | BIRMINGHAM | | Post town | Birmingham | | Postcode | B37 7YN | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLG West Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLG3 West Midlands | | ITL 3 | TLG32 Solihull | | Local authority | Solihull | | Electoral ward | Bickenhill | | Westminster constituency | Meriden and Solihull East | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 79000000 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ## Release History - 30 Oct 2023 at 14:48 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c60b58a0-15c0-4d71-8c29-c87e0fd40c55 - 30 Oct 2023 at 11:46 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c60b58a0-15c0-4d71-8c29-c87e0fd40c55 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c60b58a0-15c0-4d71-8c29-c87e0fd40c55 30th October 2023 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/208a9918-2536-425f-8deb-147bd7053f43 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
