Scope of works
Introduction and Summary of Requirements DESNZ is looking for experts in their field with a strong network of contacts across their industry to act as an Alternate Delegate for the following International Energy Agency (IEA) Technology Collaboration Programmes (TCPs): Lot 1 Energy Storage (ES) Lot 2 Heat Pumping Technologies (HPT) Lot 3 Photovoltaic Power Systems (PVPS) Lot 4 Industrial Energy-Related Technologies and Systems (IETS) Summary UK Shared Business Services Ltd (UK SBS), acting on behalf of the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ), invites proposals for the role of Alternate Delegate for provision of support to the International Energy Agency (IEA) Technology Collaboration Programme (TCP). UK SBS is managing this procurement process in accordance with the Procurement Act 2023 (PA 2023) and the Procurement Regulations 2024 applicable to this procurement procedure (as may be amended from time to time) (the “Regulations”). This is a Services Contract being procured under the Open Procedure. This procurement shall be split into 4 Lots as follows and for each Lot one Contract shall be awarded to the successful supplier(s). LOT 1 - Energy Storage (ES) LOT 2 - Heat Pumping Technologies (HPT) LOT 3 - Photovoltaic Power Systems (PVPS) LOT 4 - Industrial Energy-Related Technologies and Systems (IETS) Please state clearly which lot you are applying for in your submission in the bid title. The application must be submitted by an organisation for a specific individual within the organisation. This can be a company, university, NGO or sole trader. An organisation may submit bids for several lots, no single individual may be proposed for more than one Lot.

Background The IEA works to ensure reliable, affordable and clean energy for its 32 member countries and beyond. Founded in 1974, the IEA was initially designed to help countries co-ordinate a collective response to major disruptions in the supply of oil, such as the crisis of 1973/4. While this remains a key aspect of its work, the IEA has evolved and expanded. It is at the heart of global dialogue on energy innovations. Technology Collaboration Programmes (TCPs) are independent, international groups of experts that enable governments and industries from around the world to lead programmes and projects on a wide range of energy technologies and related issues. TCPs currently cover topics related to: • Efficient end-use (buildings, electricity, industry, transport). • Cleaner fossil fuels (greenhouse-gas mitigation, extraction, supply, transformation). • Renewable energy and hydrogen (technologies and policies for deployment). • Cross-cutting issues (modelling, technology transfer, project financing). • Fusion power (safety, physics, materials, technologies). The 6,000 experts in the TCPs work to advance the research, development and commercialisation of energy technologies. The scope and strategy of each TCP is in keeping with the IEA Shared Goals of energy security, environmental protection and economic growth, as well as engagement worldwide. Depending on the TCP, activities may include: • Basic and applied research, technology development and pilot plants • Technology assessment, feasibility studies, environmental impact studies, market analysis, policy implications • Information exchange of research results and programmes • Scientist exchanges • Databases, modelling and systems analysis • Experts’ networks. More information on the IEA and the TCPs is available here: Technology collaboration - About - IEA. Each TCP typically has two Delegates who represent each country at the Executive Committee: a primary Delegate and an Alternate Dele
