## Summary

The procurement process involves the Department for Business Energy and Industrial Strategy, which is based in London, UK. The contract, titled "Measuring Energy Performance Improvements in Dwellings Using Thin Internal Wall Insulation," falls under the category of research and development services. This tender is at the award stage, with the value set at £197,345. The award was published on 22nd October 2017, with a contract period running from 15th September 2017 to 15th October 2018. The procurement method used was an open procedure, allowing broad participation.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) seeking to grow their business in the construction or energy efficiency sectors. Companies specialising in insulation technologies, particularly those that can innovate around thin internal wall insulation methods, will find this project particularly aligned with their expertise. Engaging in such contracts not only aids in business development but also contributes to significant carbon savings through improved energy performance in dwellings.

## Notice

There are significant barriers to uptake with conventional Solid Wall Insulation (SWI), such as installation cost, risks of cold bridging, loss of internal space if using internal SWI amongst others. Thin Internal Wall Insulation (TIWI) could be a potential solution where conventional internal SWI is not a viable option. TIWI will likely not be as effective as conventional SWI in terms of energy saving potential. However, it is thought the above SWI barriers to uptake may be significantly mitigated with TIWI, resulting in much higher take-up and subsequent carbon savings. It is proposed to use an unoccupied test home with measured thermal efficiency characteristics in its uninsulated state. Following multiple TIWI retrofits, the contractor will reassess the thermal characteristics of the property, thus quantifying the effectiveness of TIWI products. Subsequently a conventional internal SWI retrofit will then be undertaken to establish the comparable energy savings.
