## Summary

The public procurement process, awarded by DESNZ (Department for Energy Security and Net Zero), is titled "PS25160 - RAF008/2526 - Marginal Abatement Cost Curves and Business As Usual emissions for the UK and EU - 2025 Update". The tender falls under the Research and Development services category, with an overarching focus on providing tailored data sets related to emissions for various geographical locations, including the UK, British Oversea Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, and the rest of the world. This award was completed following a selective procurement method through a mini competition under the CCS Research & Insights RM6126 DPS, with Enerdata SAS being the supplier. The procurement stage is complete, and the contract period runs from 2nd October 2025 to 31st March 2026. The total contract value is £278,896.38, and the process was concluded well ahead of its tender period end date of 22nd August 2025.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in research and development services, notably those specialising in environmental data analysis and consultancy services. With the focus on providing data sets for Marginal Abatement Cost Curves and Business-As-Usual emissions aligned with government decarbonisation plans, companies capable of delivering insights and analysis on energy demand, supply, and policy impacts stand to benefit. The procurement encourages participation from SMEs, which positions smaller, innovative businesses to potentially secure niche roles or sub-contracts under dynamic purchasing system agreements. The extensive geographical scope and potential for research findings to influence high-level policy make this an ideal contract for businesses aiming to expand their expertise and influence within the energy and environmental sectors.

## Notice

***** THIS IS AN AWARD NOTICE, NOT A CALL FOR COMPETITION ***** This procurement is being concluded following a mini competition under the CCS Research & Insights RM6126 DPS. Brief Description of Requirement The overall aim of the project is for DESNZ to receive tailored data sets of Marginal Abatement Cost Curves (MACCs) with their related Business-As-Usual emissions (BAUs). The datasets will need to have broad consistency, as specified and agreed, with DESNZ internal assumptions (such as on energy demand, energy supply, policy impact analysis and resulting emissions) under a number of scenarios. These sets are for a central Net Zero Strategy (NZS) (or most recent government decarbonisation plan) aligned and a higher BAU emissions scenarios. Between the different scenarios, we plan to vary baseline policy assumptions. Additionally, we require sensitivities that vary Fossil Fuel Price and Growth assumptions.
