Notice Title

PS24136 - Primary research informing the development of the energy efficiency voucher (EEV) scheme

Notice Description

*** THIS IS AN AWARD NOTICE, NOT A CALL FOR COMPETITION *** This procurement is being concluded as a direct award under the Framework PS21174 - Energy and Climate Change Behavioural Science Framework. Brief Description of Requirement Domestic heating accounts for around 14 per cent of the UK's carbon emissions. The UK has committed to achieving net zero emissions by 2050 and in order to be on track to meet this challenge, all homes need to reach EPC C or above by 2035 where practical, cost-effective and affordable. To deliver the change needed, a new Energy Efficiency Voucher (EEV) scheme is under development to support households to make upgrades to their homes. The proposed scheme would be available to all homeowners (including owner-occupiers and private landlords) in England. The scheme would lower energy bills and lay the foundations for carbon reduction by helping households fund improvements to energy efficiency and ancillary measures that support Heat Pump (HP) deployment.
