## Summary

The Business Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) has recently awarded a contract for the position of Energy Technical Specialist Advisor, part of the petroleum products and energy supply industry. The contract was awarded following a direct procurement method, particularly a Single Tender Action under the ETS Framework, and involves a budget increase to £118,765. The contract period runs from 30 January 2019 to 30 April 2019, with the tender process closing on 29 January 2019. The awarded contract was to BVG Associates Ltd., which will provide expert technical advice and project management support.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in energy consultancy and project management, particularly those with experience in offshore wind and marine environments. Companies that excel in delivering advisory services related to energy projects, especially SMEs, are well-suited to compete for similar contracts in the future. The continuity of support services while BEIS seeks competitive bids emphasises the ongoing need for expert insights in this rapidly evolving sector.

## Notice

DemoWind and BESTF (Bioenergy Sustaining the Future) are EU ERA-NET co-funded programmes supporting the development of energy technologies that minimise the environmental impact of energy production and use. The programmes consist of grant funded projects that have at least two partners from different member states. Each collaborator is grant funded by their host country and approved projects qualify for an EU contribution of up to 33%, paid retrospectively. In addition, the UK has administrative and co-ordinating responsibilities for the programmes, including reporting, the distribution of EU funds to project participants, and dissemination. BEIS needs expert technical advice and detailed project management support to augment its in house capabilities so that it can effectively undertake these duties. In May 2017, a Technical Advisor (TA) Services Contract (with a value of PS70k) and with an end date of 31 March 2019, was put in place under the Energy Technical Specialist (ETS) Framework, Lot 2; Offshore wind and the marine environment. A contract variation added another PS28.765. The contract is with: " BVG Associates Ltd. The current contract for technical support due to end on 31 March 2019, consistent with the then expected workload and completion date for these programmes. Progress has been slower than expected due to staffing difficulties within BEIS which has delayed the start, and hence completion, of a number of projects. This, together with a higher than previously expected workload to provide an adequate level of project oversight, requires the TA Services contract to be extended to 30 April 2019 with an increase in budget of PS20,000 (making the total contract value PS118,765) to cover the expected workload up to that date. Additional information: This was an STA on the grounds Where the works, supplies or services can be supplied only by a particular economic operator for any of the following reasons:- Supplier already contracted to BEIS.
