## Summary

The Business Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) in the United Kingdom has initiated a procurement process titled "Global Gas Market Future Outlook." This research project falls within the services category and seeks to analyse recent fluctuations in international gas markets. The tender period ended on 24th February 2022, with the contract awarded on 28th February 2022, and the contract period running from 1st March to 31st March 2022. The procurement method employed was an open procedure for contracts valued at £50,000 or below.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary and community sector enterprises (VCSEs) to contribute valuable research and insight into the future risks associated with gas markets. Businesses specialising in research and consultancy services related to energy, market analysis, or environmental studies would be particularly well-placed to engage in this procurement process, enabling them to expand their project portfolios and enhance their reputations within the industry.

## Notice

International Gas markets have experienced a significant change within a year, with prices turning from record lows to record highs. The question is whether there are structural shifts that may sustain higher prices, what caused this change, what are the future risks to the market and what impact might they have. This information is needed to help the UK better understand and manage the UK's net zero transition alongside ensuring energy security of supply in a global energy market and the UK's role within a global just energy transition. This contract is a research project to produce analysis and a report that will benefit BEIS and HMG more widely by increasing the understanding of future gas market risks, enabling BEIS to better prepare for future gas market events and put in place mitigations to protect and prepare UK businesses and consumers. The project will increase the evidence base on gas market risks which will help to structure future BEIS analysis and policy proposals. Tender documents including full details of the requirement and details for how to apply are attached to this notice.
