Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Business Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) is conducting a tender for an "Energy Follow-Up Survey" aimed at gathering detailed data on domestic energy consumption in England. This project, classified under research services, is currently in the active stage of procurement and has a value of £2,819,932. The contract period commenced on 3 February 2017 and will conclude on 3 February 2020. The tender follows an open procedure, with the tender period having ended on 1 February 2017. The research will inform policy design to decarbonise domestic heat and better understand household energy use, with a specific focus on monitoring during winter 2018/19.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in research services, particularly those that can offer expertise in energy consumption analysis and surveying. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate, as the requirements highlight the need for specialised knowledge and access to data. Companies with experience in energy-related studies, statistical analysis, or survey administration would be well-suited to competitively engage in this procurement process.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Energy Follow-Up Survey

Notice Description

Modification Notice Original description: BEIS wishes to commission a project to provide detailed, high-quality current data and analysis on domestic energy consumption in England. In order to effectively design policies to decarbonise domestic heat and contribute to reducing consumer energy bills, a detailed understanding of how households use energy, as opposed to what is predicted in models, is required. A number of important evidence gaps exist that have not been covered in previous surveys or studies. The research focusses on questions related to primary and secondary heating consumption, temperatures, occupancy patterns, over- and under-heating, understanding variations in energy consumption between similar dwellings, trade-offs made by fuel poor households with regards to energy consumption, electrical appliance use, total household energy consumption, comparisons of energy consumption with Energy Performance Certificates, lighting systems, the current prevalence of smart technologies, damp problems and ventilation. Description of the modifications The variation adds the following to the original contract: Extension of monitoring to cover winter 2018/19. Equipment now removed during April/May 2019 instead of February/March 2019 as in the current contract The inclusion of a Wave 1 online survey to increase the EFUS Wave 1 sample size. This will obtain the necessary 350+ responses to meet the minimum requirement in the ITT The inclusion of a Wave 1a online survey to increase the Wave 1a sample size Description of the economic or technical reasons and the inconvenience or duplication of cost preventing a change of contractor: The work required for the variation requires the knowledge, skills and access to data that the original contractor holds (for whom we competitively tendered). To compete the variation would have been impractical due to the highly specialised technical nature of the project, as well as being uneconomic given its relatively low value.
