## Summary

The Energy Systems Catapult Limited is initiating a procurement process titled "Prior Information Notice for Modern Energy Partnership Design Competition," aiming to explore energy system transformation measures across the public sector estate. This procurement falls within the solar energy industry category and has a planned budget of £750,000, running from 1st December 2018 to 31st March 2019. Currently in the planning stage, the tender is set to select up to four qualified suppliers through a negotiated procedure with prior information notice, with a future notice date expected on 31st October 2018.

This tender presents exciting growth opportunities for businesses engaged in designing energy systems, project estimation, and related consultancy services. Companies capable of developing innovative energy solutions for large-scale public sector sites, particularly those experienced in solar energy and heating system design, would be well-positioned to participate. As the project aims to establish methodologies applicable to complex energy systems, businesses that can demonstrate a strong portfolio in renewable energy and sustainable designs may find this an advantageous prospect for collaboration and contract acquisition.

## Notice

A recent Innovate UK funded feasibility study identified that the Energy Systems Catapult (ESC) working together with the Cabinet Office (CO), Crown Commercial Service (CCS) and the public sector estate might be uniquely positioned to accelerate energy system transformation measures at scale across the public sector estate. We now wish to further explore this opportunity. Energy Systems Catapult wishes to conduct a 3.5 month challenge-based phase of work, to further develop transformation methodologies and business cases that build on the feasibility project work. We intend to Tender to select up to 4 suitably qualified and experienced suppliers, or consortia of suppliers, to undertake the challenge that seeks to: 1. develop future energy systems designs for up to 6 public sector campus-scale sites (as pathfinder projects) and also to support a wider team, including the Energy Systems Catapult, develop a generic methodology that might be suitable to support the roll-out of more complex energy systems across the public sector estate.
