This project falls under the industry category of energy and related services and is set to take place in the United Kingdom. The engagement end date is scheduled for 30 April 2022, with a supplier engagement day planned for 3 May 2022 at the London Conference Centre. The project is expected to run from September 2022 to August 2024, with a preliminary budget of up to £680,000 (excluding VAT). This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in research, energy modelling, and environmental consultancy to engage with a multidisciplinary team. Companies that work with refrigeration technologies, policy development, or emissions research would be particularly well-suited to compete for this tender. The supplier day serves as a platform for potential bidders to gather insights and establish connections, allowing them to gain a competitive edge in understanding the project requirements and developing tailored proposals. ## Notice Brief Description of the Requirement The Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy (BEIS) is planning to procure a research project determining the emissions and decarbonisation pathways of Transport, Industrial and Commercial Refrigeration (TICR). This potential procurement would seek a multidisciplinary team of experts to deliver the research outputs, using a range of methods from on-site surveys, energy modelling, and horizon scanning. The outcomes of this work will be used as evidence for various policy work in BEIS, Defra, and DfT. It will be used to update the assumptions in the National Atmospheric Emissions Inventory (NAEI). A key part of this project is also to translate the research outputs to both policymakers and industry end-users, such as operators, installers, manufacturers, and estates managers. We expect this project to run from September 2022 to August 2024. Our preliminary budget for this work is up to PS680,000 (excluding VAT).
