## Summary

The Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office is seeking to establish a long-term collaborative platform aimed at enhancing energy efficiency consultancy services within the UK and European Research and Technology Organisations (RTOs). The procurement, titled "Platform for the UK and European RTOs Smarter Energy Systems," falls under the "services" category and has a budget of £20,000. This procurement process, initiated through a direct single tender action, concluded its tender period on 20 December 2021, with the contract period spanning from 24 January 2022 to 31 March 2022.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for SMEs engaged in energy consultancy and related sectors to expand their business capabilities within collaborative frameworks.
