## Summary

The procurement process titled "Realising the Potential of Demand-Side Response to 2025 - a focus on Small Energy Users" was initiated by the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC). This project,, categorised under research and development services, took place in London, United Kingdom, and was awarded on 1st November 2016. The contract, valued at £82,249, spans a period of six months, concluding by the end of March 2017. The associated tender period ended on 10th October 2016, focusing on understanding demand-side response (DSR) among smaller energy users.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in research, social analysis, or the energy sector, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in demand-side strategies. The project aims to gather valuable insights that could inform future policies and initiatives within the energy market, thus creating avenues for innovative companies to engage with smaller energy users and develop impactful solutions. Competitors may include consultancy firms, research agencies, or technology providers specialising in energy efficiency and demand response services.

## Notice

BEIS seeks a contractor or contractors to undertake a Rapid Evidence Assessment (REA) of demand-side response (DSR) approaches to, and responses by, smaller energy users to inform ongoing policy development and implementation in this area. The study will focus on drawing out findings relevant to Great Britain (GB), but draw on a wide range of evidence, including from the UK and international deployments. It will improve understanding of the motivating factors and barriers that drive small energy user decision making around DSR; and the products, services, policies and engagement strategies that could be most effective at achieving DSR at scale amongst these users. The project will require a range of analytical, social research and energy sector expertise. The contract is to be for a period of 6 months (to be finished by the end of March 2017) unless terminated or extended by the Department in accordance with the terms of the contract.
