## Summary

The procurement process for the Renewable Energy Planning Database (REPD), conducted by DESNZ, has reached the award stage. This initiative involved a selective procurement process, specifically a call-off from the CCS RM6126 Research & Insights Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS). The awarded contract focuses on collating, administering, and maintaining the REPD and the Heat Networks Planning Database (HNPD), tracking renewable electricity and heat generation projects, including details on project land use. The procurement is classified under research and development services and related consultancy services (CPV 73000000). The contract was awarded to Barbour ABI on 14 May 2025, with a value of £110,800. The contract period spans from 19 May 2025 to 22 May 2026. The project covers a wide geographical scope, including British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, Europe, the United Kingdom, and the rest of the world.

This project presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in data management, renewable energy, and consultancy services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) can particularly benefit, given the tender's suitability criteria, allowing them to leverage their expertise in renewable energy and planning to partake in the UK's green energy transition. Large firms in research and development or consultancy may also find this an avenue to consolidate their presence in the renewable energy sector. Engaging with this contract could enhance a business's portfolio in government projects and contribute to sustainable development goals, providing growth through innovation and expertise in a critical sector.
