The evaluation focuses on assessing the outcomes and impacts of these support schemes. The contract, valued at £331,100, runs from 30th July 2024 to 30th June 2025, with the procurement method being a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system.

The contract's scope includes assessing the effectiveness of policy interventions in energy affordability, making it ideal for firms with expertise in market and economic research, and impact assessments.

## Notice

Brief Description of Requirement The Department for Energy Security and Net Zero is seeking to commission an Impact and Economic Evaluation of the portfolio of Domestic Energy Affordability Support Schemes in the United Kingdom.
