The engagement end date for interested suppliers is 26th October 2021. The procurement method utilised is a tender, which indicates a formal invitation for submissions from suppliers positioned to fulfil the requirements of the project, located in Birmingham, England. This procurement presents substantial opportunities for businesses, particularly those specialising in energy systems, data management, and smart technology solutions. Companies with expertise in cloud-based analytics, smart meter applications, or those involved in energy consumption data analysis would be ideally suited to compete for this contract. Participation in this tender can facilitate growth by enabling businesses to collaborate with a leading innovation centre, gaining exposure in the energy sector and contributing to advancements in domestic energy solutions. ## Notice Context and Purpose of the Pre-Market Engagement; Energy Systems Catapult (ESC) is seeking to appoint a suitable qualified and capable Supplier as ESC Delivery Partner to supply Smart Meter Data for the Living Lab. While there are many options for testing domestic energy products in a laboratory environment there are few, if any, options of testing products in a controlled real-world environment. The gap between laboratory testing and market release is very wide and products fail as innovators have not fully appreciated how consumers will interact with them. Alternatively, some products will never even make it to testing as routes to market are blocked by legal conditions. ESC's Living Lab provides innovators and regulators a place to test products and services with real consumers in a controlled and managed environment. To really understand the performance of some products and services, access to accurate and reliable energy consumption data is key. The Living Lab currently has a cloud-based mechanism for gathering data from third party devices installed in Participants homes by using APIs to collect data from the supplier's cloud. The intention is to extend this functionality to include data collected by Smart Meters and this is the purpose of this request for information on the feasibility of achieving this in an efficient manner using existing products or services and the cost, timescales and challenges that may be involved. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/53d3b9e9-49ef-48c2-8094-3ec7c7451c40 | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 20 Sep 2021 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 26 Oct 2021 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planning | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | ENERGY SYSTEMS CATAPULT LIMITED | | Locality | BIRMINGHAM | | Post town | Birmingham | | Postcode | B37 7YN | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLG West Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLG3 West Midlands | | ITL 3 | TLG32 Solihull | | Local authority | Solihull | | Electoral ward | Bickenhill | | Westminster constituency | Meriden and Solihull East | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 38 - Laboratory, optical and precision equipments (excl. glasses) ### Codes - 38550000 - Meters ## Release History - 20 Sep 2021 at 07:43 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/53d3b9e9-49ef-48c2-8094-3ec7c7451c40 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/53d3b9e9-49ef-48c2-8094-3ec7c7451c40 20th September 2021 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/5f26cbfd-a27e-4c10-932b-6c5ebe827097 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
