This procurement falls under the construction work industry category and is planned to take place in the UK. The budget set for this project is £750,000, and it is currently in the planning stage. Key dates include workshops scheduled for 2nd August and 14th August, 2018, with a contract period expected to commence on 30th November 2018 and conclude on 31st March 2019. The procurement method is a below-threshold negotiated procedure with prior notice. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in construction, engineering consultancy, and design services, particularly those with expertise in energy systems and innovative design solutions. Companies that are small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) may find this procurement particularly accessible, as the buyer is seeking to engage up to four suitably qualified suppliers or consortia. Participating in this challenge could enable businesses to influence future energy system developments across the public sector, fostering growth and innovation in their respective fields. ## Notice Prior Information Notice (PIN) Background A recent feasibility study identified that the Energy Systems Catapult (ESC) working together with central government organisations might be uniquely positioned to accelerate energy system transformation measures at scale across the public sector estate. We now wish to further explore this opportunity. We wish to conduct a 3.5 month challenge-based phase of work, to further develop transformation methodologies and business cases that build on the feasibility project work. We intend to Tender to select up to 4 suitably qualified and experienced suppliers, or consortia of suppliers, to undertake the challenge that seeks to: 1. develop future energy systems designs for up to 6 public sector campus-scale sites (as pathfinder projects) and 2. also to support a wider team, including the Energy Systems Catapult, develop a generic methodology that might be suitable to support the roll-out of more complex energy systems across the public sector estate. Energy Systems Catapult, is seeking input on the design of this challenge through two Pre-Challenge/Tender workshops. The half day workshops will provide an opportunity to receive information and influence a potentially key project in shaping the future UK energy landscape. * 10am to 1pm on the 2nd August - Energy Systems Catapult Office in Birmingham * 10am to 1pm on the 14th August - Future Cities Catapult Office in London.
