    "description": "The UK Department of Energy Security and Net Zero is procuring a supplier to manage a new facility - the Climate Innovation Pull Facility. Through pull finance, this facility will support innovation, scale up and market building for climate change mitigation solutions for developing country contexts, focusing on innovative clean energy technologies and business models in a small number of specific applications/sectors, where the evidence shows support is most needed.\r\n\r\nIn public innovation financing, \"pull mechanisms\" create incentives for innovators and other actors by creating viable market demand. They seek to reduce viability gaps and induce innovation by signalling demand for solutions to specific problems. Mechanisms often cited include Advanced Market Commitments, Results or Outcomes Based Financing, Prizes/Challenges, innovation bulk procurements, Contracts for Difference, among others. By contrast, much innovation support has to date utilised \"push mechanisms\" directly subsidising up-front R\u0026D costs.\r\n\r\nIn terms of climate mitigation solutions, the CIPF will support the development of innovation projects aligned to Ayrton Fund themes: industrial decarbonisation, sustainable cooling, smart energy systems and storage and clean transport Further details of Ayrton Fund thematic challenges are set out on gov.uk.\r\n\r\nThe procurement of this requirement will be in two parts:\r\n(i) A contract for a Facility Manager to manage the programme and identify, incubate, commission and oversee 6-10 climate pull projects of \u00a310m - \u00a350m each. This contract will also cover programme monitoring and learning.\r\n\r\nii) A separate contract for an Independent Evaluator of the programme, who will conduct a mid-term and end-of-term evaluation of the programme\u0026apos;s achievement of its development objectives, theory of change and value for money. This procurement is subject to a separate procurement procedure.\r\n\r\nThe procurement for the Facility Manager is the focus of this notice and will be run as a competitive procedure with negotiation. The initial contract value is \u00a3183m over 5.5 years with options to extend by up to \u00a3317m and up to 3 additional years. Of the \u00a3183m initial contract value, at least \u00a3150m of this will be allocated for climate pull projects, the majority of which will be grant funding.\r\n\r\nAdditional information: \r\nTo access the tender documents and early market engagement information please go to the links provided below which will take you to the DESNZ Procurement Portal.",
