This procurement is at the active tender stage, with the tender period concluding on 6 September 2018. The project aims to assess constraints impacting local infrastructure and is valued at £20,000. The primary industry category for this contract is services, and it follows an open procurement method, actively encouraging participation from various stakeholders. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in consultancy services, particularly those experienced in research and development concerning energy systems and local infrastructure. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community social enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly well-suited to participate in this tender, given the project's focus on innovative interventions for economic growth and clean energy projects. Engaging in this project could enhance their portfolio and create pathways for further contracts in the evolving energy market. ## Notice This study requires consultants to provide analyses of the types and levels of constraints on the local distribution network in the Greater Cambridge area and how this impacts the delivery of housing, jobs, clean energy projects and the electrification of transport to improve air quality. The analyses will need to quantify these impacts on the growth targets and timescales agreed by Government with the Greater Cambridge Partnership as part of the Cambridge City Deal https://www.greatercambridge.org.uk/ Drawing on the analyses, the consultants will need to identify and recommend the most effective interventions that the Greater Cambridge Partnership could facilitate, and, or, invest in to deliver a modern energy system that unlocks immediate barriers to, and supports continuing, delivery of economic growth, housing development, clean energy projects, electrification of transport and improving air quality.
