## Summary

The Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) has successfully completed a procurement process for the transition to a new power sector model, BID3, replacing the Dynamic Dispatch Model (DDM). This contract, valued at £427,000, has been directly awarded to Lane Clark & Peacock LLP. The contract period is from 28 March 2025 to 28 December 2025, covering services in the energy sector, and it aims to meet the department's interim electrical modelling needs. The procurement falls under the energy and related services industry category and is intended for delivery across various locations, including the British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, Rest of the World, and United Kingdom. The award notice was published on 16 April 2025.

This tender provides substantial opportunities for companies involved in energy services, particularly those specialising in electrical modelling and analytical support. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, given the suitable nature of the project for such businesses. With DESNZ seeking to integrate BID3 into its decision-making processes, suppliers offering innovative solutions in energy modelling could see significant growth and potential for long-term collaboration with the department.

## Notice

DESNZ is currently transitioning from its current power sector model, the Dynamic Dispatch Model (DDM), to a new power sector model (BID3). We anticipate it will take some time before BID3 is properly integrated into analytical and decision-making processes. This contract is designed to fulfil the department's interim ongoing need for electricity modelling.
