## Summary

The Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy (BEIS) is looking to procure a research, design, and development contract named "Inclusive Smart Solutions" within the services industry category. The procurement involves enhancing access to smart technologies for low income and vulnerable consumers. The tender, valued at £2,750,000 GBP, follows an open procedure and has a tender period ending on 17th April 2023. The contract period is set from 1st June 2023 to 31st March 2025.

This procurement opportunity by BEIS presents a chance for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in the services sector to contribute to the development of accessible technologies for marginalized consumers. Businesses interested in innovation and societal impact, particularly in the energy and related services domain, are encouraged to participate. The inclusive nature of the project aligns well with organisations focused on creating positive change through technological advancements that benefit disadvantaged groups.

## Notice

BEIS is seeking to procure a research, design and development contract to help achieve a step-change in access to, purchase of, and/or use of smart technologies, products and services amongst low income and vulnerable consumers. In the context of this work, 'low income and vulnerable consumers' includes all energy consumers for whom an accessibility, usability or affordability issue may exist or arise in the transition to a smart, flexible energy system, potentially making it disproportionately challenging for them to benefit from new technologies, markets or business models. This work sits within the BEIS Net Zero Innovation Portfolio's PS65m Flexibility Innovation Programme, which enables large-scale widespread electricity system flexibility through smart, flexible, secure, and accessible technologies and markets
