What is being bought

To help Bangladesh meet its clean energy target of 40% by 2041, The UK Government’s Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) is seeking eligible organisation/s to design and deliver a programme of Technical Assistance to the Sustainable and Renewable Energy Development Authority (SREDA) and the Power Division of Ministry of Power, Energy and Mineral Resources (MoPEMR) in Bangladesh. This programme is aimed at strengthening SREDA’s/MoPEMR’s ability to perform their roles and provide support in the following areas: 1. Establishment of a ‘Data Assessment and Storage Facility’ in SREDA to support collection, storage, analysis and use of wind data and related information. 2. Development of policy and technical guidelines for the offshore wind sector in Bangladesh. 3. Capacity development on carbon pricing and trading for SREDA and Power Division officials. 4. Support Government of Bangladesh’s (GoB) agenda on transforming all irrigation pumps to solar irrigation pumps through a review of the existing models to propose a commercially viable model with some unified features to pilot in different geographical locations. This Technical Assistance (TA) is in line with the ambitions and commitments of Bangladesh’s draft Integrated Power Sector Master Plan 2023. This will also contribute to the Mujib Climate Prosperity Plan, the Nationally Determined Contribution targets on renewable energy, the Bangladesh Delta Plan 2100 (BDP 2100), the Perspective Plan 2021 to 2041 (PP 2041), and 8th Five Year Plan 2020 to 2025 (8FYP). The TA is part of FCDO’s Bangladesh Climate and Environment Programme (BCEP). BCEP was announced at COP26 and went live in January 2022. This programme will help deliver a more climate resilient, less carbon intensive and cleaner Bangladesh. BCEP has a particular focus on supporting policy and regulatory frameworks on renewable energy and expansion of renewable energy options. It was designed to support technologies and infrastructure that can be expanded and integrated to the national grid; and explore to what extent new renewable resources can be scaled commercially. This TA is in line with BCEP’s ambition to enhance the policy and regulatory environment to increase share of renewable energy in the country’s energy mix.

Lot details

Lot 1

The scope of this work will include design and delivery of the support planned under this ToR. Given the breadth of the support, FCDO encourages bids from consortia, or a lead Supplier with delivery partners / sub-contractors with substantial expertise on each thematic area. FCDO will sign the contract with a lead Supplier. The Supplier will be liable to ensure coordination amongst all four components. The Supplier will report to FCDO and will work in partnership with SREDA. The Supplier will need to work in close coordination with other relevant development partners (including Asian Development Bank, USAID, European Union and World Bank) on thematic areas to ensure the task remains relevant. Parallel to this, FCDO will have Memorandum of Understandings (MoUs) in place with the Economic Relations Department and SREDA for this TA. There will be a governance mechanism developed in line with GoB and FCDO requirements on technical projects which is likely to include quarterly working group meetings and project steering committee meetings on bi-annual basis. The Supplier will have full knowledge and experience of working through the GoB systems and the various approval and reporting procedures. The Supplier will be responsible for ensuring approval requests are supported and processed by working closely with SREDA, the Economics Relations Division (ERD) and other relevant stakeholders. The Supplier will be expected to have a physical presence in Bangladesh and have associated partnerships with relevant organisations for the field-based pilot work under component 4 (solar irrigation pump). i) Component 1: The Data Assessment and Storage Facility will include, but not be limited to, technical needs assessment, facility design and set up and maintenance. Advice on equipment, procurement, installation, training and support on operations, training workshops, development of guideline templates for review, review of learning, supervision of operation and monitoring will be critical parts of this component. This facility is expected to work as a knowledge hub for investors, researchers, project planners and decision makers and so understanding the needs of these different audiences will be important. SREDA will provide the space and staffing for the wind lab and FCDO will provide funding for hardware, software and training for the officials. The Supplier, in consultation with SREDA will agree on appropriate equipment required to function the lab. The service provider may need to lead on running the service for 12 to 18 months before capacity is fully developed with SREDA to independently operate. ii) Component 2: The proposed offshore wind energy guideline will help project developers to design and implement projects according to the best practice of safety and risk management and Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA). iii) Component 3: Capacity Development on Carbon Pricing and trading. FCDO expect that this component will consist of a combination of in-person and online trainings, sharing learning, exchange visits etc. The service provider will be expected develop a detailed plan in keeping with theneed and UK’s expertise in this area. iv) Component 4: Reviewing the existing solar irrigation pump models, including the draft unified model developed by SREDA, to recommend a commercially viable approach with unified features covering both on-grid and off-grid mechanisms. The recommended model will be subsequently piloted in different geographical locations in Bangladesh. This component will be divided in two phases. Phase 1 will involve a review of the existing solar irrigation models. Currently, there are 6 different models in the market. As the regulatory authority, SREDA is interested in having a unified model of solar irrigation pumps to enable the same service to be offered to the end user. SREDA have already developed a model focusing on un-interrupted service to the end user. Part of this intervention will review the draft model.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 75. The category anchor is Foreign economic-aid-related services (75211200); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.

Comparison setProceduresReported bids per procedureNamed award suppliersPrice evidence

“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.

Price-outcome signal

Not enough comparable procedures currently publish both a GBP tender value and a usable lowest-valid-bid value to calculate a responsible price-reduction benchmark. Tenderline deliberately does not infer a saving from named award suppliers or from missing award values.

The Supplier will have\nfull knowledge and experience of working through the GoB systems and the various approval and reporting procedures. The Supplier will be responsible for ensuring approval requests are supported and processed by working closely with SREDA, the Economics Relations Division (ERD) and other relevant stakeholders. The Supplier will be expected to have a physical presence in Bangladesh and have associated partnerships with relevant organisations for the field-based pilot work under\ncomponent 4 (solar irrigation pump).\ni) Component 1: The Data Assessment and Storage Facility will include, but not be limited to, technical needs assessment, facility design and set up and maintenance. Advice on equipment, procurement, installation, training and support on operations, training workshops, development of guideline templates for review, review of learning, supervision of operation and monitoring will be critical parts of this component. This facility is expected to work as a knowledge hub for investors, researchers, project planners and decision makers and so understanding the needs of these different audiences will be important. SREDA will provide the space and staffing for the wind lab and FCDO will provide funding for hardware, software and training for the officials. The Supplier, in consultation with SREDA will agree on appropriate equipment required to function the lab. The service provider may need to lead on running the service for 12 to 18 months before capacity is fully developed with SREDA to\nindependently operate.\nii) Component 2: The proposed offshore wind energy guideline will help project developers to design and implement projects according to the best practice of safety and risk management and Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA).\niii) Component 3: Capacity Development on Carbon Pricing and trading. FCDO expect that this component will consist of a combination of in-person and online trainings, sharing learning, exchange visits etc. The service provider will be expected develop a detailed plan in keeping with theneed and UK’s expertise in this area.\niv) Component 4: Reviewing the existing solar irrigation pump models, including the draft unified model developed by SREDA, to recommend a commercially viable approach with unified features covering both on-grid and off-grid mechanisms. The recommended model will be subsequently piloted in different geographical locations in Bangladesh. This component will be divided in two phases. Phase 1 will involve a review of the existing solar irrigation models. Currently, there are 6 different models in the market. As the regulatory authority, SREDA is interested in having a unified\nmodel of solar irrigation pumps to enable the same service to be offered to the end user. SREDA have already developed a model focusing on un-interrupted service to the end user. Part of this intervention will review the draft model.",
