## Summary

The Business Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) is seeking proposals for the tender titled "Assessing the role of CCUS in the power system: Technical Oversight." This project focuses on providing technical advice related to the feasibility and costs of Carbon Capture, Utilisation and Storage (CCUS) technologies within the UK electricity system, with a budget of £15,000. The procurement method is an open procedure and the current stage is the Award phase, with project completion required by 13 April 2018. The location of the work is in London, with the tender period closing on 16 February 2018.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses specialising in energy technology and consultancy services, especially those with expertise in CCUS applications. Companies that possess in-depth technical knowledge of combined cycle gas turbines, oxy-fuel combustion, and hydrogen generation with carbon capture will be well-positioned to compete. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, as the procurement is designed to accommodate their involvement, thus creating pathways for growth within the expanding renewable energy sector.

## Notice

The overall purpose of the work included in this invitation to tender is to provide information on the feasible technical capability (particularly regarding flexibility of generation) and costs of CCUS power technologies. BEIS is looking for a contractor or contractors to provide external technical advice to an analytical project looking at the role of CCUS within the UK electricity system. The work aims to update the representation of Power CCUS within BEIS internal modelling tools and to use these tools to assess the role of CCUS. The overall purpose of the work included in this invitation to tender is to provide information on the feasible technical capability (particularly regarding flexibility of generation) and costs of CCUS power technologies, which can be used to update modelling assumptions in the BEIS Dynamic Dispatch Model. This should cover three CCUS power applications, including: * Combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT) with post-combustion capture and storage * Oxy-fuel combustion with gas, with carbon capture and storage * Hydrogen generation with carbon capture and storage, intermediate hydrogen storage, and hydrogen turbines This work will involve provision of technical assumptions to BEIS in the form of data tables and a report. These assumptions will be used to update the Dynamic Dispatch Model (DDM). The external technical advisor will also be required to attend a meeting at BEIS after the updated model runs are complete, to give feedback on the operation of the model. Additional information: The contractor must demonstrate in-depth technical knowledge of: - Combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT) with post-combustion capture and storage - Oxy-fuel combustion with natural gas, with carbon capture and storage - Hydrogen generation with carbon capture and storage, intermediate hydrogen storage, and hydrogen turbines - The electricity system and the role of different generators within it. The work specified here forms part of a wider work programme to update BEIS internal modelling and assess the role of CCUS within the electricity system. It needs to be undertaken and completed prior to April 2018. How to Apply If you wish to take part in this procurement please see the attached Tender documents attached to this Notice and send your completed Proposal to Jonathan Baker-Brian at address stipulated in the "Who to Contact" section. Any late submissions will not be considered. BEIS reserves the right to halt the procurement process and to not award a contract. BEIS will not be held liable for recovery of costs from unsuccessful bids if a contract is not awarded. All costs will be borne by the bidding organisations.

The ITT and T & Cs are available on Contracts Finder with this notice. The Contractor's Standard Terms and Conditions of business shall not apply to this Contract. Please email your proposal by the deadline to jonathan.baker-brian@beis.gov.uk. It is no longer necessary to send hard copies of your proposal and declarations. However if you would like to send hard copies of these (in addition to the version emailed), please send these by the tender deadline addressed to Jonathan Baker-Brian, 3rd Floor Spur, BEIS, 1 Victoria Street, London SW1H 0ET. Envelopes/ packages should bear no reference to the tenderer by name and must be clearly marked as "Tender". However hard copies are purely optional, so the only obligatory requirement is to email the proposal by the deadline. After reviewing and evaluating the written proposals, BEIS may decide to hold bid clarification meetings with suppliers. If successful and upon contract signature, the supplier is expected to attend a kick-off meeting taking place on 26/2/2018. Project completion is required by 13/4/2018.
