The initiative aims to develop an advanced Home Energy Services Gateway (HESG) Digital Platform. Key dates include an engagement end date set for 16th September 2019. Proposals for this tender will focus on eliciting feedback about the conceptual design and associated costs for the system, informing future requirements for an Invitation to Tender (ITT) slated for the winter 2020/21 heating season. This tender offers significant growth opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) experienced in delivering technology solutions in the energy sector. Businesses with expertise in developing scalable digital platforms, especially those addressing complex energy market needs, would be well-positioned to participate. Engaging in this pre-market feedback phase allows interested companies to influence the final tender requirements while showcasing their capabilities to potential clients in the public sector. ## Notice The Energy Systems Catapult (ESC) have developed a Home Energy Services Gateway (HESG) Digital Platform as part of their Living Lab research capability which has been in active service since 2016 for energy product and service trials. ESC is now seeking to develop a "Next Generation" version of the HESG platform to address the more complex, diverse and scalable market requirements for future energy product and services trials. ESC has developed the high-level requirements and a conceptual level design for the Next Generation HESG platform, with intent to issue an Invitation To Tender (ITT) to select a delivery partner with experience of delivering similar platforms, with a view to implement a proof of concept system for the winter 20/21 heating season. The purpose of this Prior Information Notice (PIN) is to receive elicit feedback on the conceptual design of the HESG, understand if there is any existing solution that can deliver the scale, flexibility and openness that is required, if an existing solution can be modified or if it is recommended to build something new. In all cases we are seeking feedback regarding indicative costs, timescales and challenges associated with implementing the proposed solution. This information will be used by the ESC to develop more detailed requirements for the system which will be used in our (ITT), subject to obtaining funding. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/7a43814c-e2fe-4a38-a538-f1e44e86335e | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 2 Aug 2019 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 16 Sep 2019 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planning | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | ENERGY SYSTEMS CATAPULT LIMITED | | Locality | BIRMINGHAM | | Post town | Birmingham | | Postcode | B37 7YN | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLG West Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLG3 West Midlands | | ITL 3 | TLG32 Solihull | | Local authority | Solihull | | Electoral ward | Bickenhill | | Westminster constituency | Meriden and Solihull East | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 09 - Petroleum products, fuel, electricity and other sources of energy ### Codes - 09300000 - Electricity, heating, solar and nuclear energy ## Release History - 2 Aug 2019 at 09:36 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/7a43814c-e2fe-4a38-a538-f1e44e86335e - 11 Jun 2019 at 13:30 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/7a43814c-e2fe-4a38-a538-f1e44e86335e - 31 May 2019 at 09:09 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/7a43814c-e2fe-4a38-a538-f1e44e86335e ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/7a43814c-e2fe-4a38-a538-f1e44e86335e 2nd August 2019 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/65a4ac5f-060c-4583-b7a2-7f2c2353162c HESG 2.0 Pre-Market Engagement - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/812fb93e-c484-4ac9-b71b-517282e42f5f Updated HESG Pre-engagement ## Notice URLs - https://es.catapult.org.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
