## Summary

The procurement process is being conducted by Oxford City Council for the project titled "Provision of an assessment of Energy Flexibility potential to enable demand side response (DSR) in Oxford City Council Buildings." This contract falls under the category of energy and related services, specifically focusing on energy-management services. The procurement method is an open procedure, with the contract period set to commence on 1 April 2022 and end on 30 June 2022. The tender notice for this opportunity was published on 17 January 2022, and submissions were required by 23 February 2022, with all services to be delivered within the assigned timeframe at locations within England.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs). The assessment of energy flexibility potential is crucial for entities involved in energy management and related fields. Companies that specialise in energy consultancy, demand side response, or have expertise in improving energy efficiency and flexibility within municipal buildings would be particularly well-positioned to compete for this contract, enhancing their service offerings and contributing to sustainable energy practices.

## Notice

Organisations require some essential information about their assets on demand side response (DSR) in order to participate in the Project LEO trials and other markets - namely a quantified amount of energy flexibility (in kW) that can be offered, when it can be offered, how the building can be controlled to provide it, whether the required metering is in place to verify the flexibility, and any implications of asset recovery after a service is delivered. This specification is for an assessment and report that provides the required information as set out in the key questions below for both Project LEO markets, and other markets. The report must firstly quantify what flexibility potential could be realised now in the buildings below (without further investment), and secondly provide a view on what upgrades may be required (with indicative typical costs) in the future to maximise the existing flexibility potential.
