## Summary

The UK Shared Business Services Limited initiated a tender titled "Energy Company Obligation (ECO) Evaluation: Household Survey" within the research and development consultancy services industry. Located in London, this procurement process is currently at the Award stage, following completion on 20th September 2019, with a contract period spanning from 25th September 2019 to 30th September 2022. This contract has a total value of £674,078.38 and was procured through a selective method, specifically as a call-off from a framework agreement, with an end date for tender submissions having been 4th September 2019.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses specialising in research and evaluation services, particularly those with expertise in market and economic research. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that can demonstrate capability in gathering household demographic data and conducting socio-economic assessments would be well-suited to compete, especially given the increasing focus on households that are low-income and at risk of fuel poverty. As the ECO scheme continues to evolve until its anticipated closure in 2022, businesses can leverage this contract's insights to inform future strategies and services.

## Notice

***PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS NOT A CALL FOR COMPETITION*** The Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy had a requirement to collect evidence from households receiving a measure under ECO to fill existing evidence gaps. ECO3 is the most focused of the supplier obligation schemes to-date, with funding more narrowly targeted than previously at households who are low-income, vulnerable and at risk of fuel poverty. This focus places an increased need for BEIS to demonstrate which households receive ECO measures. Household demographics are therefore a research priority and feature strongly in the research questions listed below. As set out in the introduction section, the policy is at a key point in its development cycle. The Clean Growth Strategy has committed to funding domestic energy efficiency until 2028 at least at current ECO levels, however, the current ECO3 scheme is due to expire in 2022. The requirement was advertised on the BEIS Research and Evaluation Framework Lot 3
