## Summary

The Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) is conducting a tender process for the project titled "Consideration of a range of Market and Regulatory Frameworks to support future scenarios for the decarbonisation of the GB Gas Network." The procurement falls under the research services industry category and is taking place in the United Kingdom. Currently in the Tender stage, submissions for this opportunity are due by 24 February 2017, with the contract expected to commence from 20 March 2017 and conclude by 31 July 2017.

This tender presents significant opportunities for growth, particularly for businesses specialising in research and consultancy services within the energy sector. Organisations engaged in market analysis, regulatory frameworks, and energy transition strategies are well-positioned to compete for this contract. As BEIS seeks innovative solutions for decarbonisation, companies with expertise in energy systems and sustainability will find this an excellent avenue to leverage their skills and contribute to national energy goals.

## Notice

As part of a wider programme of work examining possible strategic heat options, BEIS is looking to better understand the market and regulatory frameworks that could underpin a repurposing or reconfiguration of the GB gas network, if required in order to decarbonise heating. This work would, for a set of future market models with plausible repurposed or reconfigured gas grid roles, provide: 1)A clear description for how future market conditions could be sustained; 2)Exploration of a range of plausible approaches involving differing levels of market and centralised coordination; 3)Detailed characteristics of these models from a number of important perspectives; 4)Description of the main stages of development towards these models and an indication of possible lead times; 5)State the main risks to each model and transition and how those risks may be overcome;
