This opportunity falls under the category of research and development services within the goods sector and takes place in London, United Kingdom. The procurement process is currently in the active phase and follows an open procedure, with a total budget of £42,000. Interested parties should submit their proposals by 24th February 2022, and the contract is anticipated to commence on 7th March 2022, lasting until 25th April 2022. This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that focus on research, supply chain management, or skills development relating to the low carbon heat sector. Companies with expertise in heat pump technology, sustainable energy solutions, or those involved in policy implementation and financing will find this tender especially relevant, as it aligns with the UK Government’s efforts to enhance the transition to Net Zero by fostering market-based approaches and advancing the low carbon heat market. ## Notice The transition to Net Zero requires changes that go beyond the deployment-related metrics we have tended to track in our progress monitoring to date. We are seeking to broaden our assessment of real-world progress, including underlying enablers of policy delivery such as supply chain and skills developments, public attitudes, corporate commitments, funding and finance and governance. The Government's Heat and Buildings Strategy and the Net Zero Strategy outline a policy framework that aims to substantially reduce emissions from buildings over the next 15 years: * The Government has adopted a clear direction for heat decarbonisation which confronts the key challenge of this decade: to grow demand for low carbon heat (both heat pumps and district heating) and scale up supply chains while developing hydrogen as an option. This will be done alongside nationwide programmes to improve the energy efficiency of buildings. * The Government's intention is to use a market-based approach to drive the adoption of low carbon heat. This requires obligations on suppliers, manufacturers and property owners, backed up with funding in key areas. These ambitions are supported by a suite of new policies that aim to enable the transition, providing detail on skills, finance, innovation, and standards. Under the Government's market-based approach, heat pump installations should scale up by 2028, but wouldn't be expected to take off before the new mechanism comes in, in 2024. Continuing to focus our progress monitoring on tracking heat pump deployment wouldn't tell us how the market is developing ahead of scale up. 'Forward' indicators of preparedness, or enablers of delivery, need to be tracked to provide a more complete picture of underlying progress. **** See Specification for more detail **** ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6e89d221-7e6d-4338-a827-b2e4b19616bc | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 3 Feb 2022 | | Submission deadline | 24 Feb 2022 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 7 Mar 2022 - 25 Apr 2022 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £42,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | THE COMMITTEE ON CLIMATE CHANGE | | 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 | TLI London | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ### Codes - 73000000 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ## Release History - 3 Feb 2022 at 16:43 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6e89d221-7e6d-4338-a827-b2e4b19616bc ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6e89d221-7e6d-4338-a827-b2e4b19616bc 3rd February 2022 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/a2cad1c0-648c-46f4-bd3f-dbfcaf823c42 ITT - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/59b36ddd-9f23-4b64-bf73-3415526bccd0 Specification - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/f2b99d55-7fde-4d8f-a856-55d62df76296 T&C's ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
