Introduction UK Shared Business Services (UKSBS), on behalf of the UK Research and Innovation through Innovate UK wishes to establish a contract for the provision of an International Accelerator Programme for the Energy Team. This will include support for both the UK companies and international partners. Aims & Objectives The aim of the accelerator programme is to provide commercialisation services to sit along side some of our overseas energy projects clustered in the eastern European region, ensuring the businesses taking part in the projects are commercially ready as well as technologically ready. Although the accelerator programme will be optional for our funded projects, we would expect most or all of the projects in this portfolio to take advantage of the support offered through the programme. The support will be a mixture of supporting fundamental programme requirements with all projects, 1 to 1 business support, connecting to the wider industry as well as communications activities. There are four core objectives: 1. Provide core support to enable projects to achieve their project outputs in an ODA eligible country. 2. Provide business support to project leads to help them commercialise (no matter where they are in the world). 3. Engage with wider sector to help the organisations achieve their goals. 4. Provide communication and dissemination activities to demonstrate the meaningful impacts the programme is having. We are hoping to achieve the following outputs: - Organisations which have increased their commercial readiness. - Technologies that are closer to market. - A group of projects which feel like a cohort. - Investment engagements with companies. - Knowledge sharing between projects and the wider energy and government space. - Promotion of Gender Equality and Social Inclusion. - Impact which is disseminated globally.

Background to the Requirement The Energy Access team at Innovate UK have funded a number of programmes within the ODA space. Its flagship programme, The Energy Catalyst, has committed over £200m of support helping companies to commercialise low carbon energy solutions in both the UK and in Africa and Asia. The team have recently expanded to look at technology specific areas such as diesel genset replacement. More information on these specific programmes can be found here: • https://energycatalyst.ukri.org/ • https://www.ze-gen.org/ze-gen/ More recently we have started working with FCDO High Commissions in country to develop programmes specific for their needs and the portfolio to be supported through this work is the first output of this collaboration. The programme is focussed on supporting regions with historically high reliance on fossil fuels and the programme will play a part in helping these economies to re-imagine their energy systems using the latest innovations supported through this work. The aim of the programme is to accelerate the regional energy transition and ensure the resulting energy supply is low-carbon, affordable and secure. The projects must: • focus on the specific needs of the programme. • be an innovative technology or business model that is low-carbon, affordable and secure. • create energy resilience or build access to clean energy in the future. Scope The accelerator will support 13 projects for up to 21 months involving organisations predominantly in UK and Eastern Europe but with wider teams worldwide. The winning supplier must be able to support organisations no matter where they are located in the world to ensure the programme is fully untied as required under UK ODA rules. The duration of the agreement will be between July 2024 and March 2026 for a total period of 21 months. Due to the funding limitations, we are not able to extend the accelerator service beyond March 2026 and this should be considered a hard-stop date. This date also coincides with the end of the projects funded under this programme.
