## Description

\*\*This is an awarded contract under RM6126, Not a Call for Competition\*\* The Department for Energy Security and Net Zero \(DESNZ\) wishes to appoint a supplier to undertake the following evaluation\. Lot 2 - Cross-Programme Evaluation of NZIP Industry & Hydrogen programmes This contract is for the delivery of one evaluation that covers all seven of the following Net Zero Innovation Portfolio \(NZIP\) programmes related to industry and hydrogen: - Industrial Fuel Switching \(NZIP\) \(IFS\) - Red Diesel Replacement \(RDR\) - Green Distilleries \(GD\) - Industrial Energy Efficiency Accelerator \(IEEA\) - Industry of Future Programme \(IFP\) - Industrial Hydrogen Accelerator \(IHA\) - Low Carbon Hydrogen Supply 2 \(HyS2\) The programmes are part of DESNZ's £1 billion Net Zero Innovation Portfolio \(NZIP\), which aims to accelerate the commercialisation of innovative clean energy technologies and processes through the 2020s and 2030s\. Evaluation Coverage The seven programmes will be evaluated together to produce a cross-programme evaluation \(see the table below\)\. As a result, the evaluation will take a higher-level approach, and many of the evaluation questions suggested below aim to address the seven NZIP programmes together\. However, we would expect the contractor to draw out any programme- and project-specific differences if they arise from the research, and there are also some targeted programme-specific evaluation questions\. This approach means that the evaluation can explore and make clear reference to individual programmes, whilst also identifying where findings are mutually exclusive\. -Industrial Fuel Switching 2 -Red Diesel Feasibility & Demo -Industry of Future Programme -Green Distilleries -Industrial Energy Efficiency Accelerator -Hydrogen Supply 2 -Industrial Hydrogen Accelerator Overall purpose of the evaluation This evaluation is being commissioned for the following purposes: 1\. To enable decisions about future policies or investments driving the technological transformation to Net Zero, by Government, technology developers, industry and others 2\. To enable improvements of specific aspects of the delivery of these or similar innovation programmes 3\. To provide accountability to the public through publication of key findings related to the performance of the innovation investment This evaluation will focus on understanding the funded innovations within their context, considering their aim to enable the technological transformation towards Net Zero\. As a result, there is less emphasis on a comprehensive analysis of processes and attribution, and more emphasis on questions of relevance and contextual coherence\.
