## Summary

The procurement process titled "Small-scale Renewable Technology: Costs Update" was initiated by the Department of Energy and Climate Change, located at 3 Whitehall Place, London. The aim is to update cost assumptions for forecasting future generation under Feed-In Tariffs (FITs) for small-scale technologies. This tender falls under the research services industry (CPV code: 73110000) and was in the award stage as of the last activity on 6th March 2015. The tender period concluded on 27th February 2015, with a contract value of £30,000 and a minimum threshold of £25,000. The contract was active until 30th April 2015.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary/community sector enterprises (VCSEs) with expertise in energy research and analysis. Companies capable of delivering comprehensive research methodologies related to renewable technologies and cost forecasting would be well-suited to compete for similar future contracts. Engaging in this tendering process allows businesses to contribute to essential updates in the sector and establish relationships with government agencies in the energy and climate change arena.

## Notice

DECC is looking for a contractor to undertake research to update assumptions required for forecasting future generation under FITs for small scale technologies supported under the Feed-In Tariff. Cost assumptions were last updated in 2012 and as part of the State Aid approval for the Feed-in Tariff we are required to update cost assumptions every three years. In proposing a suitable methodology for carrying out this research, the contractor(s) must address the research questions and/or aims and objectives outlined in the specification.
