RFI - Climate Change, Energy and Environment Innovation -British Army Industry Engagement

Description

Climate Change, Energy and Environment Innovation -British Army Industry Engagement

Considering industrial and academic innovation, the British Army is seeking to refresh and maintain an understanding of the current industry offerings in the sphere of renewable energy technology.

To this aim, this (and potentially subsequent) Request for Information (RFI) is published to ensure that the Army has a clear and current understanding of the capabilities available in the renewable energy market, and of wider thinking for strategies to build resilience and seek competitive advantage through the Energy transition (whilst also reducing emissions).

Please not that this is an RFI and not a contract notice. Formal expressions of interest are not sought at this time.

Complete Tender Coverage

Following Brexit, the new official Find a Tender system has been developed by UK Government to detail all public procurement contract opportunities expected to be over £122, 976 for Central Government or £189,330 for the remainder of the public sector e.g. NHS contracts, Local Authority contracts, Housing Association contracts. Publishing requirements for all of the public sector are in place to ensure transparency, fairness and open competition.

All UK public sector opportunities under these values, but over £10,000 for central government or over £25,000 for other public sector organisations, are still required to be published on Contracts Finder. Scotland, Wales and NI also have their own dedicated sites: Public Contracts Scotland, Sell2Wales, eSourcing NI and eTendersNI.

Complete Tenders have centralised and consolidated all of this information into a single, easy to use platform that is updated hourly with all new opportunities.
