This initiative, classified under research and development services, aims to facilitate India's transition to a low-carbon economy in alignment with its Nationally Determined Contributions for climate change. The tender is currently in the planning stage and must be submitted by 3rd September 2018. The contract period is set to commence on 28th September 2018 and will run until 31st March 2019, with a total value of £65,000. This opportunity presents significant growth potential for businesses focused on renewable energy and energy efficiency. Companies involved in consultancy, low-carbon technologies, or environmental services would be well-suited to compete for this tender, particularly those experienced in collaborating with industry-led coalitions and governmental institutions. Engaging in this project could enhance a firm's profile, contribute to India's climate objectives, and potentially lead to further contracts within this emerging sector. ## Notice India's Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) lay the pathway for a transition to a low-carbon future in alignment with the goals of the Paris Agreement whilst meeting India's developmental imperatives. The three pillars of India's NDCs comprise - (i) Reduction in emissions intensity of its GDP by 33-35% by 2030 from 2005 levels; (ii) Increase the share of non-fossil fuel-based electricity to 40% by 2030; and (iii) creation of 2.5 to 3 billion tonnes of carbon sink by 2030. Action by government alone will not be sufficient to achieve India's climate targets. Leadership by businesses and industry will also need to play an important complementary role. Businesses in India are increasingly aligning with Paris climate goals by getting more proactive in deploying low-carbon initiatives - either as a part of voluntary measures, core business operations, Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), or under various government schemes such as Performance-Achieve-Trade (PAT). Companies are committing to globally acclaimed industry-led initiatives/coalitions that build business leadership in low-carbon areas such as renewable energy adoption, energy efficiency, energy productivity, resilient supply chains, and internal carbon pricing, amongst others. Existing analysis of the barriers and solutions to scaling up corporate action on renewable energy and energy efficiency in India (including studies supported by the UK) concludes that: (i) Present-day industry-led coalitions in India are insufficient to increase corporate action at the scale required to help India meet its climate targets. (ii) Challenges that limit effective action by coalitions include patchy policy/regulatory landscape in states, limited convening power to expand the pool of interested businesses, limited engagement with policy/regulatory bodies in states, limited efforts to engage MSMEs, information asymmetry, gaps in quality technology and service providers for PAT industries. (iii) The most successful initiatives are comprehensive, combine the strengths of varied stakeholders, and have a robust governance structure that works to deliver targeted results. For example ten organisations joined forces to launch the Clean Energy Access Network (CLEAN), which has emerged as one of the most credible coalitions to support, unify and grow the off-grid renewable energy sector in India. The India GHG inventory (partnership between WRI, CEEW, and TERI) is another example of one such successful platform. Building on existing findings, the British High Commission will engage a supplier to bring together an alliance that combines and channels the strengths of existing industry-led coalitions together with think tanks and government. The project will also generate a detailed business plan for the alliance, clearly articulating the institutional set up, governance structure, funding requirement (if any), and broad set of interventions (at the central level in priority states of UK Energy techni Additional information: Please refer the Project No 1832 and ITT No 2490 ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/039923b9-3331-4ced-924a-a482350fdc36 | | 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 | 14 Aug 2018 | | Submission deadline | 3 Sep 2018 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 27 Sep 2018 - 31 Mar 2019 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £65,000 | | 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 | FOREIGN & COMMONWEALTH OFFICE | | Locality | NEW DELHI - 110 021 | | Post town | South West London | | Postcode | SW1A 2AH | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI35 Westminster and City of London | | Local authority | Westminster | | Electoral ward | St James's | | Westminster constituency | Cities of London and Westminster | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ### Codes - 73000000 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ## Release History - 14 Aug 2018 at 10:51 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/039923b9-3331-4ced-924a-a482350fdc36 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/039923b9-3331-4ced-924a-a482350fdc36 14th August 2018 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
