Primary instrument
North Sea Transition Deal & Supply Chain Principles
Enacted / active: 2021
Governed by North Sea Transition Authority (NSTA)
What the rule actually says
The UK uses voluntary supply chain commitments rather than a hard local-content quota. Operators publish share-of-work targets and are held to them through NSTA stewardship.
— Key requirements
- Share of work published by operator
- Early engagement with UK supply chain (SCAP)
- Transition-aligned capability development
What this means for SMEs
United Kingdom in plain English
UK-based SMEs — including in the energy transition supply chain — are actively targeted for early engagement, framework agreements, and share-of-work reporting.
