## Notice

The final date and time for the submission of bids is Thursday 20th September 2018 at 14:00 BST DO NOT apply directly to the buyer. All tender information MUST be submitted through the CCS eSourcing Portal. Brief Description of Requirement The overall purpose of the analysis is to depict long run supply curves for fossil fuels, which will be combined with projections for long run demand to generate assumptions for long term fossil fuel prices consistent with the long-run costs of the marginal sources of supply, and to detail the underlying assumptions. This should include reflecting the range of uncertainty over the evolution of supply curves (and demand for fossil fuels) sufficient to construct low and high as well as central assumptions for long term fossil fuel prices which reflect the inherent uncertainty and result in a plausible and evidence based range.
