What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionThe NTCA has established a Green New Deal Fund (“GNDF”) to catalyse investment in
green growth. Committing £9m over the next three years, this fund will form a mechanism to
stimulate innovation and business growth in the areas of heat decarbonisation, energy
efficiency, renewables, energy systems, low carbon transport and natural capital. The focus
of the GNDF is to support the ‘green growth economy’ by, prioritising projects which can
deliver significant carbon reductions as well as supporting new industry and jobs in areas
where emissions reductions are most needed.
In June 2021, the NTCA announced, under Delegated Decision, the appointment of Amber
Fund Management Limited (“AFML”), a sister company of Amber Infrastructure Limited
(“Amber”) to act as Fund Manager for the GNDF. As part of Amber’s expression of interest
for the GNDF, Amber proposed to appoint a business development partner to assist with the
delivery of the GNDF.
A partner with knowledge of the local business ecosystem is required to support the Green
New Deal Fund Limited Partnership (“GNDF LP”) in a Business Development role (“BD
Partner”). The BD Partner must have premises with the ability to host up to a maximum of 1.5
FTE members of the Amber team within the region, as well as meeting space to host local
clients. The selected BD Partner will support Amber in a business development and
origination capacity and will be required to source, manage and review applications from
CPV: Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security
The lotProcurement structure
single lot · no lot value publishedLot #1The primary objective of the BD Partner is to support Amber to identify investmentAwardedRenewal
The primary objective of the BD Partner is to support Amber to identify investment
opportunities in net zero and low carbon projects within the North of Tyne region.
This will include but not be limited to:
- Identifying local companies and projects to add to the existing pipeline ranging from
commercialisation of new innovative technologies through to the funding of more
established low carbon projects;
- The development of key themes within the scope of net zero across the North of Tyne
region and establishing relationships with key stakeholders that will inform and support the
GNDF investment strategy. Organise and manage pipeline targeted events, this could
include for example a specific event targeting housing associations or community projects;
- Supporting the Fund pipeline to maximise on the Fund outputs, this includes reduction of
CO2 and the creation of new green jobs and skills within the region;
- Support on the development of research into the local pipeline and contribution towards
the development of existing partnerships in the academic and industrial sectors; and
- Bringing together different aspects of a local energy stakeholder network and identify
various stakeholders including community energy groups that will deliver projects in line
with the GNDF requirements of delivering a sustainable low carbon economy, that will create
jobs in the local economy and stimulate growth and skills through investment into regional
energy initiatives.
The BD Partner will not be responsible in a decision-making capacity with all final decisions
resting with Amber as the Fund Manager.
It is expected that the Business Development role will continue to grow existing NTCA
networks and introduce new business opportunities worthy of investment from the GNDF
through attending events and networking, hosting open days and horizon scanning of low
carbon energy project opportunities, initiating discussions, and responding to incoming
leads. The BD Partner should have premises with the ability to host up to a maximum of 1.5
FTE members of the Amber team within the region, as well as meeting space to host local
clients to develop these opportunities.
