Surrey requires completion of at least Stages 1-4 of the Energy Systems Catapult methodology ahead of Q1 2027. This is critical to provide county‑wide evidence for elements such as the "Nations & Regions Context," enabling Surrey to effectively influence regional planning and secure prioritised grid investment from the DNOs. The Unitary Authorities may then elect to complete Stages 5-7 at a later date, enabling them to capture local‑level specifics, reflect community priorities, and incorporate further input from the SDS, NESO and DESNZ into the subsequent stage. SCC is very interested to hear from suppliers regarding this expression of interest to better inform budget requirements and timelines to complete the Surrey County wide LAEP (Stages 1-4) ## CPV classification Energy-efficiency consultancy services Research and development services and related consultancy services Environmental issues consultancy services Source Find a Tender (UK) · Notice ocds-h6vhtk-066704-2026-03-11T10:36:33Z [View official notice](https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/ocds-h6vhtk-066704-2026-03-11T10:36:33Z) Never miss a tender like this again Get AI summaries, deadline alerts and a bid pipeline for tenders matched to your business.
