## Summary

The recent tender titled "CR20091 - Evaluation of Industrial Fuel Switching and Hydrogen Supply Innovation Programmes" was awarded to CAG Consult LLP by UK Shared Business Services Limited. This procurement falls under the category of research and development services, specifically targeting the energy and environmental sector, and was part of a broader initiative by the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS). The procurement method employed was selective, executed through a call-off from the dynamic purchasing system RM6018. This process commenced with a tender period that ended on 5 October 2020, and the contract spans from 5 February 2021 to 14 October 2022, with a total contract value of £317,034.20 after recent variations.

This contract presents significant growth opportunities for businesses engaged in clean energy technologies, particularly those specialising in industrial decarbonisation, carbon capture, and hydrogen supply innovations. Companies with expertise in research and consultancy services relevant to energy innovation would be particularly well-suited to participate in similar future tenders. The focus of BEIS's Energy Innovation Programme on sustainable energy solutions provides a context for organisations looking to align their offerings with governmental initiatives aimed at reducing carbon emissions and enhancing the UK’s clean energy landscape.

## Notice

**THIS IS NOT A CALL FOR COMPETITION** This was awarded under Crown Commercial Services Research Marketplace Dynamic Purchasing System RM6018. The Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy's (BEIS) is responsible for business, industrial strategy, science, research and innovation, energy and clean growth, and climate change. Initiated in 2015, BEIS' Energy Innovation Programme (EIP) seeks to reduce the UK's carbon emissions and the cost of decarbonisation, by accelerating the commercialisation of innovative clean energy technologies and processes into the 2020's and 2030s. The Programme, with a budget of PS505m and completing in March 2021, consists of six themes, one of which focuses on investment (of around PS100m) in industrial decarbonisation and carbon capture, use and storage. This theme incorporates the two programmes under consideration here: * The Industrial Fuel Switching (IFS) to Low Carbon Alternatives programme - which seeks to develop, demonstrate and reduce the cost of fuel switching processes and technologies, with the aim of developing a range of technologies to be available by 2030+ * The Hydrogen Supply (HS) programme - which seeks to develop, demonstrate and reduce the cost of low carbon bulk hydrogen solutions (production, storage and supply). Both programmes involve multiple phases of funding and activity, which will conclude by March 2021. For this purpose, we seek to commission an evaluation that combines an impact evaluation (to assess programme achievements and value for money) with a process evaluation (to learn lessons about optimal programme design and delivery), and a case study approach, reporting at interim (June 2021) and final (June 2022) stages.
