## Summary

The Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) has completed the procurement process for the project titled "Consideration of a range of Market and Regulatory Frameworks to support future scenarios for the decarbonisation of the GB Gas Network." This initiative is categorised under research services and aims to assess potential frameworks necessary for the decarbonisation of the gas network by 2050. The procurement was conducted through an open procedure, with the tendering phase concluding on 19th April 2017. The contract, valued at £199,691, is set to run from 24th April 2017 to 28th July 2017, covering delivery across the United Kingdom and beyond.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in research services, particularly those with expertise in energy markets, regulatory frameworks, and decarbonisation strategies. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to consider competing for similar future contracts, as the nature of BEIS's projects often requires innovative inputs and local insights that SMEs can provide effectively. Companies interested in advancing decarbonisation initiatives or developing sustainable energy solutions would be well-positioned to collaborate with BEIS in upcoming procurement opportunities.

## Notice

The Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy (BEIS) wishes to commission a project to consider a range of Market and Regulatory Frameworks that could support a repurposed or reconfigured GB gas network to deliver a total decarbonisation of heat. This project is an initial long-term futures piece to improve BEIS' understanding of the possible risks, uncertainties and other barriers that may arise in relation to market and regulatory frameworks if the GB gas network were to be repurposed or reconfigured to achieve 2050 decarbonisation objectives. For background information, the full specification and further information on this project please see the ITT.
