DO NOT apply directly to the buyer.

All tender information MUST be submitted through the Jaggaer eSourcing Portal

This contract is for the delivery of estimates of regional jobs in the power sector and will involve researching employers to understand the locational distribution of jobs for each low carbon technology, split by nature of the job (e.g. manufacturing, construction, Show less description transportation, operation, etc), and the timing and duration of the jobs (i.e. short-term construction jobs, long-term maintenance jobs). When complete, this work will give senior management and ministers figures on the jobs delivered by specific projects or policy aims and their expected regional distribution.

This work will allow BEIS to more closely align the Net Zero Strategy and Energy Security Strategy ambitions with the Levelling Up agenda. Due to the latter, there has been an increasing desire for BEIS to provide estimates of jobs supported at a regional level.

The aim of this work is to generate regionalised estimates of the jobs associated with the building and running of power sector projects (e.g. new offshore wind farms, nuclear plants, etc) to 2050. This will run parallel with current ONS work that takes a snapshot of total power sector jobs

Link to ONS Low carbon and renewable energy economy estimates The snapshot of jobs produced is split by technology (eg. offshore wind, onshore wind, solar, etc.) and job type (Manufacturing, Construction, Professional, scientific and technical activities, etc.). BEIS has internal projections on power sector capacity to 2050 in meeting the Net Zero targets, with estimated number of jobs at a national level based on GVA and require estimates of the number of jobs by region.

The objective of this project is to be able to estimate the number of regional jobs by year (including planning and construction) for any given project (eg. technology and capacity) by job type. These estimates should be consistent with ONS published snapshot figures.
