Description

The UK Government's Partnering for Accelerated Climate Transitions (UK PACT) programme is inviting quotations from qualified suppliers or consortia to deliver technical assistance facility in South Africa.

South Africa's automotive industry faces a pivotal moment as the global transition to electric vehicles (EVs) accelerates. This shift poses risks to traditional internal combustion engine (ICE) production but offers significant opportunities for regional industrialisation, job creation, and value addition. Central to this transformation is the development of a competitive battery value chain, leveraging South Africa's and the SADC region's critical mineral resources to meet local content targets and secure duty-free access under trade agreements.


This RFQ seeks expert support to consolidate existing research and policy work into a draft policy document and an Implementation Strategy and Plan. The goal is to guide the development of South Africa's battery value chain in alignment with the EV White Paper, SAAM 2035, and broader just transition objectives-ensuring sustainable automotive manufacturing, regional economic growth, and compliance with international trade requirements.

Interested suppliers are invited to review the documentation provided in this notice, and submit their applications to: [email protected]
