This procurement process, currently in the Tender stage, falls under the Research and Development Services category (CPV code: 73000000) and is based in London, England. The tender period concludes on 9th August 2019, with contract execution expected from 30th August 2019 to 28th February 2020. The total contract value is set at £110,000, allowing for a minimum bid of £10,000, and it follows an open procurement method. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in research and consultancy services, particularly those focused on economic analysis, environmental policy, and carbon pricing strategies. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary/community sector enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate, making this an ideal opportunity for companies with expertise in developing frameworks for business competitiveness and quantitative modelling. Engaging in this project can enhance a business's reputation and expand its portfolio while contributing to important environmental policies in the UK. ## Notice This research will consist of two phases. The first ('Phase 1') seeks to: i) develop a systematic and holistic framework of the determinants of business competitiveness; ii) develop an approach for measuring competitiveness (through a metric or set of metrics); and iii) as part of the above, establish how, and the extent to which, carbon pricing policy influences business competitiveness. We expect this work to be supported by a review of relevant literature on competitiveness both in the UK and globally. The second phase ('Phase 2') seeks to apply the framework developed in Phase 1 through quantitative modelling of the impacts of scenarios for UK carbon pricing policy on the competitiveness of businesses within scope - specifically drawing out the impacts of scenarios for a UK Emissions Trading System (ETS) on competitiveness. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5ea560aa-d107-4010-8151-aaf35dc4c163 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 2 Aug 2019 | | Submission deadline | 9 Aug 2019 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 29 Aug 2019 - 28 Feb 2020 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £110,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | BUSINESS ENERGY AND INDUSTRIAL STRATEGY | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South West London | | Postcode | SW1H 0ET | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI35 Westminster and City of London | | Local authority | Westminster | | Electoral ward | St James's | | Westminster constituency | Cities of London and Westminster | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ### Codes - 73000000 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ## Release History - 2 Aug 2019 at 11:13 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5ea560aa-d107-4010-8151-aaf35dc4c163 - 25 Jul 2019 at 10:08 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5ea560aa-d107-4010-8151-aaf35dc4c163 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5ea560aa-d107-4010-8151-aaf35dc4c163 2nd August 2019 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/a513f4cc-9efe-4fd4-9751-0300ac5fe8c4 Terms and Conditions - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/8a391696-5eb3-4e48-8d54-b6f522b04009 ITT - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/d1a40121-3b31-4305-86cb-29781a1c8237 Q&A ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
