## Summary

The Business Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) has successfully completed a tender process titled "Establishing 'state-of-the-art' practice in the deployment of solid-wall insulation on UK Buildings." This procurement, classified under research and development services, involved the analysis of best practices in solid-wall insulation deployment across the UK. The procurement was initiated on 2nd February 2017, with a contract period ending on 2nd June 2017. The total contract value was £57,732, and the tender period concluded on 16th January 2017.

This tender offers considerable opportunities for businesses engaged in the built environment and innovation sectors, particularly those with expertise in insulation technologies and consultancy services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are particularly encouraged to participate, as the project aims to harness innovative solutions that could lead to enhanced performance and cost reductions in insulation practices. Firms specialising in research, technology development, and consultancy related to environmental sustainability would be well-suited to compete for similar future contracts.

## Notice

The aim of this work is to inform the design and implementation of built-environment innovation activity BEIS may launch in 2017. The project is divided into 2 Lots: Lot 1: Understanding best practice in deploying external solid-wall insulation in UK. The contractor will gather evidence of EWI best-practice in the UK by considering case-studies, and research and innovation work, and undertaking interviews with practitioners, researchers and other stakeholders. Lot 2: Understanding potential technological and process innovations to increase uptake of internal and external solid wall insulation. Drawing on a review of literature from the field of built-environment innovation, conversations with industry and academia, and other sources, the contractor will produce a report identifying how innovation might unlock greater take-up of IWI and EWI in the UK. This report is to inform further innovation work to both reduce the cost and improve the performance and consumer attractiveness of IWI and EWI. Additional information: This requirement was advertised via Lot 20 of the BEIS Energy Technical Specialist (ETS) framework
