This procurement is being concluded following a mini competition under the Crown Commercial Services -Research and Insights DPS (RM6126)


Brief Description of Requirement

This research is intended to provide a holistic assessment of the supply-chain requirements of deploying wind and solar capacity in line with Government ambitions. This should include fixed bottom and floating offshore wind, onshore wind, ground-mounted grid-scale solar as well as rooftop solar. Outputs of this research should quantify supply-chain requirements of meeting our renewable ambitions, identify likely bottlenecks and quantify the potential impact on deployment.

In assessing the potential impact on deployment, we envisage that the research would aim to quantify the maximum capacity per annum supply chain companies in the UK could deliver. This should be supplemented with an assessment of these companies to leverage the global supply-chain's ability to support UK deployment and the risks posed by relying on global supply chains. Given the complexity of global supply-chains we would expect this to be assessed qualitatively. This would then inform analysis on the UK wind and solar deployment trajectories supply-chains could support, with confidence levels or scenarios to reflect uncertainty.

By understanding the supply-chain requirements and risks, BEIS can ensure that these challenges are identified early, and the right policies can be put in place to de-risk delivery. Supporting the Government's ambitions for renewable deployment and the transition towards a fully decarbonised power sector.
