Description

DDaT22528 - Hydrogen Economy Modelling Requirement

BEIS requires an ability to understand how policy options will impact the developing hydrogen economy. This is from both a strategic perspective, that is, what are the collective impacts of all existing and planned policies, and tactical perspective, that is, what is the impact of a specific policy.

Current analytical tools are unable to consider how interactions between supply and demand will occur at the system level. To meet this shortfall, the new model is required to interface with existing analysis from across BEIS. It will need to expand and develop as the sector evolves and new analytical questions become apparent.

1. BEIS are looking to procure a new model, which is used within the department to support policy making for the hydrogen sector.

2. We are open to either:
i. The construction of a new model, or
ii. Procurement of a proprietary model

3. BEIS must retain the ability to freely modify code, expand and further develop the model over the long term.

4. BEIS must have the right to publish or share the model

5. The model must initially be provided with sufficient development time factored in to test and redevelop the code to the standard set out in the specifications.

6. An ongoing package of support must be provided at an agreed hourly rate over the course of the year following product delivery.

The estimated value of this requirement is £250,000.00 excluding VAT and will be for the period of 2023/24

We would like to invite suppliers to a pre-market engagement online session w/c 9th January 2023, via Teams.

An agenda will be agreed prior to the session however this session is an opportunity to engage with the market to discuss the requirement overall including specification and estimated budget.
