The brief

***** THIS IS AN AWARD NOTICE, NOT A CALL FOR COMPETITION ***** This procurement is being concluded following a mini competition under the CCS RM6126 Research & Insights DPS Brief Description of Requirement The Advanced Propulsion Centre (APC) is a joint government and industry programme, directed at activities related to research, development and commercialisation of emerging vehicle technologies.

The APC UK was launched in 2013 by the UK Government and the Automotive Council to unlock private investment in new supply chains for low carbon vehicles.

Government and industry have committed more than £1.3bn to accelerate the development and commercialisation of strategically important emerging vehicle technologies and to strengthen the UK competitive edge internationally.

The aim of the evaluation is to understand the impact of the funding programme rather than review APC as an organisation.

The APC Core programme, which this contract will evaluate, primarily supports late-stage collaborative R&D projects.

Projects need to: - support the UK's long-term capabilities by securing long term R&D investment and, - achieve through the associated supply chain, the design, build and manufacture of zero carbon tailpipe emission vehicles.
