The procurement is in the open tender stage, with the deadline for submissions set for 30 January 2017. The estimated value of the contract over three years is over £5 million. The services are to be delivered in Yorkshire and the Humber region, with the procurement classified under financial consultancy and other related services. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in financial consultancy, project management, and legal support within the energy and construction sectors. Companies with expertise in sustainable energy solutions, technical advisory roles, or those capable of delivering comprehensive project development services will be well-positioned to compete. The contract requires a single lead supplier, making it an ideal target for established firms with a robust track record in project development and collaboration with public sector entities. ## Notice The Energy Accelerator will provide expert technical, financial, commercial and specialist legal advice directly to Project Sponsors from the public and private sector who require project development support to develop projects through to financial close in the following low carbon sectors: * District heating networks; * Commercial and domestic energy efficiency retrofits including integration of renewable energy sources into the built environment (e.g. solar PV); * Street lighting and low carbon transport. WYCA expects that the Energy Accelerator will be required to meet contractual obligations relating to the leverage of project development support to capital investment reaching financial close. The procured suppliers will be expected to take a lead role in developing projects from initial appraisal for support through to financial close, and will be required to meet key performance indicators relating to leverage and other factors. While the final decision to support projects rests with WYCA, WYCA will make these decisions relying on recommendations made by the suppliers. The estimated value (excluding VAT) of the services over three years is in excess of PS5,000,000. WYCA is tendering for external advisors to provide commercial, technical and technology specific legal project development support (pre-financial close) to individual project sponsors. WYCA intends to contract with a single lead supplier that can bring together the desired range of services.
