This procurement falls under the services category and is classified as research and development services. The tender is currently at the active stage, with submissions due by 12pm on 13th January 2017. The contract period is set to commence on 23rd January 2017 and conclude by 31st March 2017. Bidders are required to submit three hard copies of their proposals to the specified address in London within the stipulated deadline. This opportunity is particularly ripe for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in consultancy and research services related to carbon capture and storage (CCS). Businesses that can analyse risks associated with CO2 infrastructure, develop innovative business models, and provide case studies from previous projects would be highly advantageous in this tender process. Participating in this project not only contributes to UK’s sustainable energy initiatives but also positions businesses as key players in the evolving market of carbon management and environmental consulting. ## Notice Notice summary: To inform the potential development of a future approach to Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) in the UK, the Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy (BEIS) wishes to understand whether alternative business models could make CO2 transport and storage infrastructure more affordable. This study will identify the range of possible business models and make recommendations for possible further, more detailed work. Description: This work will form part of a review looking at how to enable cost effective development of CO2 transport and storage infrastructure in the UK and will examine how alternative financing, delivery and operating business models may help enable this. The work will explore the range of possible business models and their potential to address CCS specific risks that act as barriers to deployment and increase cost. The work will make recommendations for further analyses of a selection of alternative models identified as having potential to enable more cost effective development of CO2 infrastructure: (i) document the challenges that can increase the risk and cost of delivering and operating CO2 infrastructure; (ii) define the range of potential delivery and operating business models for CO2 infrastructure; (iii) consider how those models can differently address the challenges identified; (iv) present case studies to illustrate how and why different models have performed successfully on other CCS projects or other infrastructure projects in the UK or overseas; (v) identify which business models should be subject to further, more detailed analyses to test their suitability for UK use, and to understand relative performance prospects. Subject to the findings of this initial study, further more detailed work may subsequently be commissioned.
