## Summary

The Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) has completed the procurement process for a contract titled "Engage 2: International Engagement Research." This initiative focuses on leveraging international engagement to advance the UK's decarbonisation goals by enhancing bilateral and multilateral activities related to knowledge, research, and innovation. The procurement falls under the "Research services" category and encompasses multiple locations including the British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, and the United Kingdom. The contract, valued at £141,012, was awarded to the National Nuclear Laboratory and spans from 19 August 2024 to 31 March 2025. This single tender action was below the threshold and involved direct procurement methods.

This tender represents significant growth opportunities, especially for SMEs and VCSEs, by allowing them to engage in high-profile, international research initiatives. Companies specialising in research services, particularly those with expertise in energy and sustainability, are highly suitable for such opportunities. Engaging in this project could enhance their visibility and credibility, opening doors for future collaborations and contracts within the burgeoning field of energy security and net zero initiatives.

## Notice

International engagement is viewed as a key enabler in achieving the UK's decarbonisation targets, and the UK is already involved in several relevant bilateral and multilateral engagement activities that promote accessing, developing, and sharing knowledge, research and innovation outputs. The purpose of the International Engagement Programme is to build upon current, previous, and potential future international engagement activities funded by DESNZ and extend them to reflect the increased ambition. This will involve wider engagement with UK academic and R&D communities in the UK.
