This will involve process, outcome and early impact evaluations of the Energy Bills Support Scheme (EBSS), EBSS Alternative Funding (EBSS AF), Energy Price Guarantee (EPG) and Alternative Fuel Payment (AFP). These interventions are very large in both value and scale, covering almost the entire population of Great Britain; as such, this evaluation is a priority for the Department and wider Government. The evaluation will use an overarching theory-based framework to evaluate awareness, understanding, perceptions and experience of the delivery of the interventions, as well as outcomes of interest, including intervention reach and benefits to energy and wider household consumption, household finances, health and welfare and the wider economy. The contract will also involve collecting evidence of perceived impacts of the interventions as reported by households and wider contextual data to support a robust impact evaluation that is expected to be tendered separately in due course. Scoping of impact and economic evaluation requirements will be conducted as part of this contract. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/722e352d-ab39-49b2-85cd-8695df7ce156 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Dynamic | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Call-off from a dynamic purchasing system | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 7 Oct 2024 | | Submission deadline | 9 Mar 2023 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 22 Mar 2023 | | Contract period | 26 Mar 2023 - 4 Nov 2024 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £2,178,842 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | DESNZ | | Additional buyers | DEPARTMENT FOR BUSINESS, ENERGY & INDUSTRIAL STRATEGY | | Locality | SWINDON | | Post town | Swindon | | Postcode | SN2 1FF | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK7 Gloucestershire and Wiltshire | | ITL 3 | TLK71 Swindon | | Local authority | Swindon | | Electoral ward | Rodbourne Cheney | | Westminster constituency | Swindon North | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | IPSOS (MARKET RESEARCH | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ### Codes - 73000000 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ## Release History - 7 Oct 2024 at 10:01 - AwardUpdate - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/722e352d-ab39-49b2-85cd-8695df7ce156 - 2 Aug 2024 at 09:37 - AwardUpdate - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/722e352d-ab39-49b2-85cd-8695df7ce156 - 4 Apr 2023 at 11:46 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/722e352d-ab39-49b2-85cd-8695df7ce156 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/722e352d-ab39-49b2-85cd-8695df7ce156 7th October 2024 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/f8597085-e725-45e4-bcdf-e33d41ce7330 n/a ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
