Description

Overview
The Energy Systems Catapult is procuring a package of professional services / systems engineering and consultancy work whose output will assist stakeholders within the energy community to make better informed strategic, policy, investment and operational decisions.

The supplier(s) will propose the philosophy, principles and broad methodologies by which the energy community can map out transition pathways towards key milestones in the future of the energy sector.

The methodologies proposed must lead to clear and influential conclusions that have value for potential decision makers and embody clearly expressed courses of action for promoting adoption of transition pathways to best deliver future UK energy needs in an affordable, secure and de-carbonised manner.




Additional Information
We believe the task to contain many aspects ranging from technical issues such as model assumptions through to 'soft' issues of trust and presentation of complex information to aid end-user comprehension.

The ESC is seeking responses from a diverse range of suppliers and is seeking innovative ideas relevant to this complex analysis and methodology challenge.

Respondents must possess, or work with others to bring experience of, whole systems analysis as applied to the energy sector, including a knowledge of existing energy scenarios and transition pathways.
