Description

Actual CPV code is '75211200 Foreign Economic-Aid Related Services'.

DFID is seeking to engage a Service Provider to deliver a five year programme of Technical Assistance, supporting electricity market reforms and integration of renewable energy into the grid, leading to a more efficient, reliable and sustainable Indian power sector.

At this stage, the Terms of Reference are kept relatively open because: a) the programme is primarily demand led and we intend to maintain flexibility to respond to emerging priorities of the Indian Government, which may change over the life of the programme; and b) we want to encourage supplier innovation and allow suppliers to suggest the best model to deliver against the programme's objectives.

The programme will provide Technical Assistance to support power sector reforms at central and state level in India. It will focus on supporting structural market reforms and the integration of renewable energy into the electricity network. The outcome we are seeking to achieve is improved efficiency, reliability and sustainability of electricity supply, with an increased share of renewable energy in the mix. The overall impact of this would be more sustainable and inclusive economic growth, better energy security, poverty reduction and reduced carbon emissions.
