two.1.4) Short description
To further the UK Government’s ability to deliver on Energy Security and Net Zero, DESNZ is looking to procure a subscription for external data and analysis into the Gas and LNG market. DESNZ will run a market engagement event on Thursday 23rd May 2024 from 11:00am-12:00pm (BST).
DESNZ is currently in the market for high-quality Gas and LNG intelligence to support the UK’s Energy Security and Net Zero objectives. Specifically, we require comprehensive insights that are not only timely but also customisable to our specific needs, with a preference for services that offer access to detailed data. This includes analyses ranging from short-term forecasts to long-term projections. Of particular interest are in-depth examinations of trade flows, infrastructure developments-such as new LNG terminals-and trends in emissions. This information is invaluable to the Department as it allows us to monitor market developments and understand any potential risks to UK security of supply. Furthermore, it plays a crucial role in our longer-term planning around the role of gas in the energy transition. If your services are equipped to meet these requirements, we would welcome the opportunity to discuss potential collaboration further.
We seek a service that offers both in-depth insights (such as articles and reports) into market developments and topical issues, and compliments this by offering access to deep and robust data outputs that can be customised by the user at ease, such as through an online dashboard. So that we can understand implications for the UK, data outputs need to be customisable at the country level as a minimum.
The contract term will be 12 months with a potential to extend in to a second year, with a total contract value maximum of £130,000 (excluding of VAT).
DESNZ will run a market engagement event on Thursday 23rd May 2024 11:00am -12:00pm (BST) ahead of publishing the invitation to tender, expected from 5th June 2024.
