Critical Minerals - Demand Aggregation Platform

Description

A new web-based platform to help UK industry consolidate and pool its critical mineral demand across different industries, facilitate industry-led strategic offtake agreements, and help industry and Government to make better use of UK public finance to catalyse private investment. The expectation is that the Platform will feature user onboarding and vetting, demand and supply data submission, demand aggregation, matchmaking, and reporting functionalities, with a pilot stage to test proof of concept and operating model. Suppliers must consider robust governance, security management, continuous improvement, clear data management policies, and compliance with legal frameworks, including competition law, data protection legislation, and international trade regulations. Platform design must not enable anti-competitive practices. The success of any proposed solution will be measured by comprehensive screening, broad sector participation and engagement, effective buyer-supplier matches, and regular insightful reporting to government and industry stakeholders. For more information, please register for the webinar as per the details below. Upon registration, you will be provided with a Specification of Requirements (SoR) document, that outlines the initial thinking in further detail.
