Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "CR20048 Boiler Plus Research" tender was initiated by UK Shared Business Services Limited, a buyer located in Swindon, England. This project falls under the services category, specifically focusing on research and development, and is valued at £86,490. Though the tender process is marked complete, it followed a selective procurement method through a dynamic purchasing system. The contract period spanned from 28th August 2020 to 29th January 2021, and was part of a wider assessment of the impact of Boiler Plus standards on compliance within the market.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses involved in market and economic research, particularly those with capabilities in policy assessment and compliance analysis. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary and community sector enterprises (VCSEs) would be well-suited to compete, especially those that have experience in consulting with installers, manufacturers, and consumers. Engaging in similar research projects could enhance their portfolios and broaden their market presence within the energy efficiency sector.
