This planned tender falls under the industry category of Research and Development Consultancy Services and has a total budget value of £100,000. The contract period is set to start on 2nd March 2020 and conclude on 30th November 2020. Suppliers interested in participating must be registered on the HELGA Dynamic Purchasing System by 27th January 2020. The procurement method is selective, involving a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. This tender presents valuable opportunities for businesses focusing on energy advisory, design, and technical services, particularly those equipped to address climate-related challenges. Companies that specialise in cooling technologies, consultancy services for overheating risks, or research into energy demand will find themselves well-positioned to compete. By contributing to the government's effort to understand and mitigate overheating in UK buildings, firms can potentially expand their market share within an increasingly relevant sector as demand for cooling solutions rises due to climate change. ## Notice My name is Rebecca Vignols and I am a member of the Science and Innovation for Climate and Energy Directorate in the Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy (BEIS). I am alerting you to an upcoming procurement competition which is anticipated to run on the HELGA Dynamic Purchasing System in the near future. This will be run through HELGA Service 1 - Energy Advisory, Design and Technical Services, titled Cooling in the UK. To be eligible to bid into this project, you will have to be a registered supplier on HELGA by 27/01/20. As climate warms over the next few decades in the UK, the summertime demand for cooling in buildings is expected to increase and the heating demand may decrease. In the UK, summers as warm or warmer than Summer 2018 are expected to occur 50 % of the time from the 2050s onwards (Met Office) and, as such, overheating in buildings could become more frequent. Overheating has been identified as a crucial strategic issue facing the government today. Multiple reports emphasise the need for a better understanding of overheating and for the government to develop an overheating strategy. These include the CCC Progress Report to Parliament (2019), CCC UK Housing report (2019) and the Environmental Audit Committee (EAC) research into heatwaves (2018). This project aims to fill evidence gaps in our understanding of future cooling demand in the UK, long-term future heating demand, and future overheating risks in UK buildings. This project also aims to identify the range of mitigation and adaptation methods as well as cooling technologies that can be used in the UK. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6a2f5aeb-9ab2-4865-928d-5ea839204db2 | | Notice type | Planned Procurement Notice | | Procurement type | Dynamic | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Call-off from a dynamic purchasing system | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 8 Jan 2020 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 27 Jan 2020 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 2 Mar 2020 - 30 Nov 2020 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £100,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planned | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | BUSINESS ENERGY AND INDUSTRIAL STRATEGY | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South West London | | Postcode | SW1H 0ET | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI35 Westminster and City of London | | Local authority | Westminster | | Electoral ward | St James's | | Westminster constituency | Cities of London and Westminster | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ### Codes - 73200000 - Research and development consultancy services ## Release History - 8 Jan 2020 at 12:32 - Planning - Planned Procurement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6a2f5aeb-9ab2-4865-928d-5ea839204db2 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6a2f5aeb-9ab2-4865-928d-5ea839204db2 8th January 2020 - Future opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
