## Summary

The "Non Domestic Smart Energy Management (NDSEM) Innovation SBRI Competition" is a public procurement process initiated by the Business Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) in London, England. The procurement, categorised under research and development services, aims to develop innovative energy management products and services for non-domestic sectors, with a total potential value of £8.8 million. The tender period ended on 9 February 2018, with the contract period commenced on 5 March 2018 and concluding on 31 January 2020. This procurement was conducted through an open procedure and is currently in the award stage.

This competition offers significant opportunities for companies involved in energy management, data analytics, and related consultancy services. Businesses, especially small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), would be well-suited to participate. The focus on developing smart technologies to improve energy efficiency creates a fertile ground for innovation and collaboration between different sectors aiming to enhance energy management capabilities in smaller non-domestic sites.

## Notice

This notice is for the purpose of publishing variations to 3 contracts which were successful in phases 1&2 of this competition. The need for contract modifications has been brought about by circumstances which a diligent contracting authority could not have foreseen: Delays in the SMETS2 Smart Meter roll-out could not have been foreseen by the contracting authority as SMETS2 roll-out forecasts (available at the time of the NDSEMIC ITT) were not achieved by the market. Therefore, it has not been possible to carry out the testing of NDSEMIC solutions with SMETS2 data until this year although this was a key objective of NDSEMIC. Delays in the availability of polyphase SMETS2 meters, suitable for schools, could not have been foreseen by the contracting authority, as industry postponed the launch of polyphase SMETS2 on multiple occasions. Polyphase SMETS2 meters are becoming available from Q3/Q4 2020 - enabling this testing gap to be addressed through the proposed extensions. Additional information: This notice is for the purpose of publishing variations to the listed contracts which were successful in Phase 1 and 2 of this competition. i)the need for modification has been brought about by circumstances which a diligent contracting authority could not have foreseen: Delays in the SMETS2 Smart Meter roll-out could not have been foreseen by the contracting authority as SMETS2 roll-out forecasts (available at the time of the NDSEMIC ITT) were not achieved by the market.
