Brief Description of Requirement Domestic heating accounts for around 14 per cent of the UK's carbon emissions. The UK has committed to achieving net zero emissions by 2050 and in order to be on track to meet this challenge, all homes need to reach EPC C or above by 2035 where practical, cost-effective and affordable. To deliver the change needed, a new Energy Efficiency Voucher (EEV) scheme is under development to support households to make upgrades to their homes. The proposed scheme would be available to all homeowners (including owner-occupiers and private landlords) in England. The scheme would lower energy bills and lay the foundations for carbon reduction by helping households fund improvements to energy efficiency and ancillary measures that support Heat Pump (HP) deployment. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/3ee8b038-fa48-4e8c-af95-5a925b0f2d21 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Framework | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Call-off from a framework agreement | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 7 Oct 2024 | | Submission deadline | 15 May 2024 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 20 May 2024 | | Contract period | 2 Jun 2024 - 31 Mar 2025 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £39,723 | | 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 | | 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 | VERIAN GROUP | ## 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 09:52 - AwardUpdate - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/3ee8b038-fa48-4e8c-af95-5a925b0f2d21 - 13 Jun 2024 at 10:48 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/3ee8b038-fa48-4e8c-af95-5a925b0f2d21 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/3ee8b038-fa48-4e8c-af95-5a925b0f2d21 7th October 2024 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/9779b47b-ef3d-4517-8115-7ce34f2cd9e9 n/a ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
