## Summary

The Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) is currently conducting a tender for the "Smart Meter Enabled Thermal Efficiency Ratings (SMETER) Innovation Competition." This initiative, falling under the category of services and classified under CPV code 38550000 (Meters), aims to develop and test products capable of measuring thermal performance in homes, using Smart Meter data to enhance efficiency ratings. The tender is active, with a closing date set for 1st October 2018. For those interested, a suppliers day event will be held in London on 2nd August 2018 to provide further insights into this innovation competition and the associated testing and validation contract.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in energy efficiency, technology development, or sensor fabrication to engage in innovative projects that can enhance thermal ratings in residential properties. Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) are particularly encouraged to participate, as the initiative offers a space where they can demonstrate their capabilities and potentially secure contracts for developing and validating groundbreaking products. Companies that can integrate hardware and software solutions will be well-suited to compete in this competition, aligning with BEIS's focus on utilising Smart Meter data for improved home efficiency assessments.

## Notice

BEIS plans to launch an innovation competition to develop, test and demonstrate products that can measure the thermal performance (i.e. calculate the whole house heat transfer coefficient (HTC)) of individual homes. These products may consist of a mix of hardware and software and should include the use of Smart Meter data. We have called these 'Smart Meter Enabled Thermal Efficiency Rating' or 'SMETER' products. BEIS also plans to employ a contractor to perform independent testing and validation of the resulting SMETER products in real homes. Further details will be provided at a suppliers day event in London on Thursday the 2nd of August 2018 to which we invite those interested in the innovation competition and/or the separate testing and validation contract. To receive details of this event, please register your interest by emailing builtenvironmentinnovation@beis.gov.uk. Please use the subject heading 'SMETER Suppliers Day' and indicate which activity you are interested in.
