The project aims to enable electricity system flexibility through innovative technologies and markets. The procurement process is in the planning stage, with a contract period starting on June 26, 2023, and ending on December 31, 2024. The Department will host an online information event on April 4, 2023, to discuss the competition further. This tender presents an opportunity for businesses in the energy and market research sectors to develop solutions for smaller non-domestic consumers. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are well-suited to compete in this innovative project. Companies interested in providing tailored advice, recommendations, and comparisons of smart tariffs and flexibility products using half-hourly consumption data should consider participating in this tender issued by the Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy. ## Notice This SBRI opportunity forms part of the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero's PS65m Flexibility Innovation Programme, which seeks to enable large-scale widespread electricity system flexibility through smart, flexible, secure, and accessible technologies and markets. Delivering the benefits of demand side flexibility in the smaller non-domestic market will require a step-change in the tools available for consumers or third-party intermediaries, including services that help consumers understand whether they could benefit from time-of-use tariffs, wider smart tariffs and other flexibility products. Through this Innovation Competition, the department intends to fund projects that will identify, develop, and test innovative solutions that use customer data (including half-hourly consumption data) to provide tailored advice, recommendations and/ or comparisons of these products for smaller non-domestic consumers. The Department is hosting an on-line information event to inform the design of this potential innovation competition on: Tuesday 4th April at 2pm.
