This opportunity falls under the Research services category, and the procurement method is an open procedure. The tender period ends on 25 February 2019 at 15:00, and the contract is scheduled to commence on 18 March 2019, lasting until 31 March 2021. The evaluation will focus on products that enable consumers to reduce their energy consumption through smart meter data, with delivery options available to various regions including the UK and overseas territories. This tender presents significant growth opportunities for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) that specialise in energy efficiency products and consumer behaviour research. Businesses with expertise in evaluating smart meter technologies and energy-saving solutions would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. The initiative highlights the government's commitment to facilitating innovations that support energy efficiency, making it an attractive prospect for skilled contractors in the relevant sectors. ## Notice Text to be corrected in the original notice: Place of text to be modified: IV.2.2) Time limit for receipt of tenders or requests to participate Instead of: 22 February 2019 Time: 15:00 Read New: 04 March 2019 Time: 12:00 Other additional information: The contracting authority considers that this contract may be suitable for economic operators that are small or medium enterprises (SMEs). However, any selection of tenderers will be based solely on the criteria set out for the procurement. BEIS is developing an innovation competition to support the development of smart meter enabled products and services that enable domestic consumers to reduce their energy consumption. To support delivery of the competition, BEIS wishes to procure a programme of work to evaluate the energy-saving products submitted by competition entrants. The trialled products will use data generated by smart meters (potentially alongside follow-up support) to provide information or tips to consumers that enable and/or motivate them to behave in a more energy efficient manner. The goal of this work will be to understand the magnitude of the effects that these products have on consumer behaviour and the mechanisms through which they exert these effects. To be clear, the procurement advertised here is for the evaluation of products supported by the competition; it is not for the management or organisation of the competition. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/dcca3f57-b0ac-4afd-9ec7-ec87d4eaae72 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 22 Feb 2019 | | Submission deadline | 22 Feb 2019 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 18 Mar 2019 - 31 Mar 2021 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | DEPARTMENT FOR BUSINESS, ENERGY AND INDUSTRIAL STRATEGY | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South West London | | Postcode | SW1H 0ET | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI35 Westminster and City of London | | Local authority | Westminster | | Electoral ward | St James's | | Westminster constituency | Cities of London and Westminster | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ### Codes - 73110000 - Research services ## Release History - 22 Feb 2019 at 10:34 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/dcca3f57-b0ac-4afd-9ec7-ec87d4eaae72 - 2 Feb 2019 at 15:26 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/dcca3f57-b0ac-4afd-9ec7-ec87d4eaae72 - 26 Jan 2019 at 14:43 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/dcca3f57-b0ac-4afd-9ec7-ec87d4eaae72 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/dcca3f57-b0ac-4afd-9ec7-ec87d4eaae72 22nd February 2019 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.delta-esourcing.com/tenders/UK-UK-London:-Research-services./FEZ8FR9P55 Please follow this link to view the notice. ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
