BEIS is considering a supplier to undertake a comprehensive update of the 2019 published Energy Innovation Needs Assessments (EINAs). The project will be delivered in consultation with government technical and analytical experts and will allow BEIS to build a robust knowledge base to guide UK decisions for the support of innovation in net zero related technologies, systems and processes. Project deliverables will provide insights into the potential of technologies, systems and processes to:   - lead to a reduction in energy and/or decarbonisation costs;   - improve UK energy security;   - generate economic benefits to the UK;   - help meet UK climate change targets;   and help contextualise UK challenges and capabilities in meeting such opportunities by identifying, exploring, and quantifying key UK net zero innovation barriers and enablers.

This evaluation seeks to understand what change has happened as a result of this long-term support and whether or not the UK's current approach to negotiations support through the Climate Ambition Support Alliance (CASA) is on track to achieve its intended outcomes and impact. The results of this evaluation will inform the design of future UK support to developing country negotiators. Deliverables include: • Understanding the effectiveness of the UK’s long-term support (2011-2022) to climate-vulnerable country negotiators in achieving a fairer, more inclusive negotiations process that enables the meaningful participation of climate-vulnerable country negotiators; • Understanding the effectiveness of the design and delivery of CASA phase two (from 2022-2025) against its intended outputs and outcomes as the UK’s current technical assistance programme for...
