Annex A - Description of BIS

Requirement

On 20th October 2010, as part of the Spending Review, theGovernment confirmed its commitment to set up a GreenInvestment Bank (GIB). The Spending Review1 announced:

The Government will initially capitalise a new institution with 1

billion of DEL2

funding together with additional significant proceedsfrom the sale of Government owned assets, subject to a final designwhich meets the tests of effectiveness, affordability andtransparency.

It further stated that:

The Government aims to complete design and testing work bySpring 2011.

Prior to this announcement, a cross-departmental team of officialsworked on the market need for a GIB, potential financialinterventions and alternative structural models. The team has beenled by the Department of Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS), butwith significant contributions from other government departments:


31/42

Structural Reform plan for BIS 3 states that this phase must becomplete by end May 2011.

The next phase (Phase II) of the project has the following key aims:

Complete the economic case and value for money assessmentfor the GIB

Complete detailed design and market testing of the types offinancial intervention (product) which the GIB might carry out

Finalise the business model of the GIB

Complete planning for the establishment phase of the GIB

Following this Phase II, it is intended that a further Phase III wouldcommence which involves the establishment of the institution. Asnoted in the Structural Reform Plan, this should be completed byDecember 2011. Thereafter, the institution would begin operationsand be able to make its first investments, subject to funding.

Significant components of this work will be conducted by the BISteam, whilst certain work streams will involve consultant support.The project will be overseen by a Project Board comprising keysenior civil servants from several government departments. Theproject leader will report to the Director of Advanced ManufacturingServices and ultimately to the Permanent Secretary of BIS.


32/42

professional support which is the subject of separate selectionprocesses. Bidders will need to be aware of the interfaces among

the work streams and they need to be prepared to interact withofficials and advisors supporting those work streams. Bidders maybid for the advisory roles on one or more of the other work streams;however, the selection criteria for have been set and will beassessed independently for each work stream and BIS has nopreference for or aversion to an organisation undertaking more thanone advisory role.

Objectives

Review the initial core GIB team hypotheses of areas ofmarket failure resulting in under-investment in greeninfrastructure, potential required GIB product interventionsand conduct a rapid market testing of this work viacomparison to latest available published reports andmarket interviews amongst key players (a 2-3 week

exercise is anticipated in this area). Identify and describe both qualitatively and quantitatively

the nature of a range of detailed financial productinterventions which the GIB should be prepared toimplement in the market place following its launch across arange of target sectors

Detailed financial product interventions will initially be


33/42

For each sector, the range of potential financialinterventions need to be quantitatively modelled to enable

detailed market testing of the attractiveness of suchinterventions, the potential of the interventions to mobiliseadditional private sector capital, and their investmentcharacteristics for the GIB. It is envisaged that this willrequire a two-fold approach to modelling by sub-sector:

o Modelling a typical project or asset, e.g. offshorewind farm, new nuclear plant, major industrial energy

efficiency investment, etc. This would include cashflows, profit and loss statement, and balance sheet topermit the modelling of one or more GIB financinginterventions in the project.

o Modelling of the returns to GIB of each of the types offinancing intervention, e.g. co-investment equity, orof different classes of debt assuming a projectfinance structure, etc.

Following modelling of a range of interventions, theconsultant will prepare summary presentations of thecharacteristics of each proposed intervention for use indiscussions with market participants (e.g. utilities,industrial players, waste management companies, privateequity investors, institutional investors, project developers,project finance and commercial bank teams) to determine


34/42

Deliverables

Financial models for each sub-sector target investment(total of 6 models currently envisaged for offshore windfarm, new nuclear plant, industrial energy efficiencyinvestment, industrial renewable heat plant, commercialand industrial waste plant and waste-to- energy plant),including modelling of each financial intervention

Presentations of the proposed GIB products by sub-sector,

for use in one-to-one discussions with industry andpotential co-financiers with the GIB

Summary of the proposed GIB products, including likelyrisk/ reward profile and other key attributes (e.g. levels ofmobilised capital), reflecting the results of market testing

Summary model and presentation of the financing gapacross target sectors for investment and the size of GIBproduct interventions to meet this gap, phased over thedecade to 2020.

Process, timing and responsibilities

The core BIS team will generate a list of potential GIBfinancial interventions by sector area by end December(i.e. before this research exercise commences)


35/42

Note that additional sectors may be added to, or replace, awork stream either before or after work commences, and

therefore a typical cost per sector (or sub-sector) shouldgiven in the tender. This may occur following furtherevidence of financing market failures arising fromeconomic analysis in the Value for Money work stream orfrom the interviews taking place in this work. Further, it ispossible that some additional support will be required toidentify evidence of market failures or to model additionalelements of financial interventions. The contractors shouldremain flexible to carry out additional work related to thiscore invitation to tender.


36/42

Annex B - Scoring

The table below details the scoring and weighting for each section within the PQQ. Some questions are PASS/FAIL,with failure on any one of them meaning that the organisation will be excluded form further participation in theprocurement.

Where a question is scored the response given will be rated using a 0 to 5 scale where:

0 = Unacceptable1 = Weak2 = Unsatisfactory3 = Acceptable4 = Good5 = Excellent

Weightings are given to the questions that are scored. An organisations total score will be determined by the
