## Summary

The Foreign & Commonwealth Office is conducting an open tender titled "Oil & Gas Technology and Services Market Research: UK Value-Add" aimed at assessing the Indian Oil & Gas sector designated as a High Value Campaign by the UK Department for International Trade (DIT). This procurement process is currently in the active stage, with the tender period closing on 10 January 2018. The total budget for this contract is £90,000 and it falls under the category of market research services. The contract is expected to commence on 20 January 2018 and conclude by 19 January 2021. Interested parties are invited to engage in this opportunity as part of a demand-driven strategy to enhance UK involvement in the Indian oil and gas market.

This tender presents significant opportunities for UK-based companies specialising in oil and gas technologies and market research services. Given the scale of expected investments in India's oil and gas sector over the next decade, firms that can identify and showcase innovative UK solutions to enhance production and operational efficiency will be particularly well-positioned to compete. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in hydrocarbon recovery, cost reduction, and energy security would benefit from this procurement process, as they can offer valuable insights and solutions that align with the objectives outlined by the Foreign & Commonwealth Office.

## Notice

The UK Department for International Trade (DIT) has assessed the Indian Oil & Gas Sector and allocated it High Value Campaign (HVC) status. This means that India is considered to be a priority market for UK supply chain companies. Substantial increases in investment are expected within the next 10-year period in India's upstream, mid-stream and downstream sectors, in line with India's policy to increase its own oil & gas production to meet domestic consumption needs and decrease the dependency on imports. Amongst other activities, this will include the development of newly discovered hydrocarbon resources in the deep-water east coast region and a major expansion of the country's gas transmission and distribution networks. DIT intends to take forward a targeted, demand-driven campaign to position and highlight UK technologies and services at the early decision-making stages of project life cycles, to ensure that operators and investors are aware and can consider the additional value that can be provided by UK suppliers and services providers. We are looking to support oil and gas production enhancement (and broader energy distribution and security) in India through the analysis of the value that UK technologies and services could add to Indian oil and gas production and broader energy security. The output of this research should provide detailed insight into how UK companies can work collaboratively with Indian companies to achieve this objective - i.e. the value that UK companies could bring to the table. We are asking the Consultant to identify UK technologies and services that will add 'value' to future projects and operational execution. The consultant should give a description of what the 'value' will represent e.g. improved hydrocarbon recovery, reduced capital costs, reduced on-going operational maintenance costs. Additional information: Please refer Project No 1569 / ITT No 2112
