## Summary

The recent procurement process titled "Demonstration of Energy Efficiency Potential (DEEP)" is led by the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) in the United Kingdom. This project falls under the research and development services category and has a total contract value of £2,670,000. The tender phase has concluded, and the award was made on 14th October 2019, with the contract set to run from 21st November 2019 to 30th July 2021. The procurement was conducted through an open procedure, inviting a range of suppliers to partake in the initiative aimed at enhancing energy efficiency through a system-level approach to retrofitting homes.

This contract offers significant opportunities for businesses involved in research and development, particularly those focused on energy efficiency and sustainable building practices. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), as well as voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), would be well-suited to compete, bringing innovative solutions and methodologies for whole house retrofitting. Given the project's emphasis on system-level impacts, businesses that can demonstrate expertise in integrated energy solutions and collaborative approaches will have a competitive edge in future tenders similar to this one.

## Notice

The aim of the Demonstration of Energy Efficiency Potential (DEEP) project is to investigate taking a system-level approach to retrofit, considering the entire dwelling rather than the performance of individual measures. Typically defined as a 'whole house' approach, this appreciates the complex interactions between fabric, ventilation and the occupant. This presents opportunities for: *Retrofit measures to contribute more effectively than if they were applied individually *Reducing the risk of unintended consequences by considering system-level impact To evaluate the potential of whole house retrofit, BEIS requires evidence, through the DEEP project, to explore the limitations, risks and benefits. This evidence should be produced through a combination of measurement and modelling, and will be used to inform our future retrofit strategy. For background information, the full specification and further information on this project, please see the ITT.
