The project aims to model estimates of fuel poverty for households participating in the English Housing Survey, involving data sources, energy demand modelling, and fuel poverty metrics. The contract period starts on March 11, 2024, with the tender submission deadline on February 7, 2024. The tender is open for electronic and written submissions, with bid opening scheduled for February 7, 2024. This tender opportunity presents a chance for businesses specialized in energy modelling, data analysis, and housing survey methodologies to compete. Companies proficient in analysing energy efficiency, household income metrics, and government policy impacts would be well-suited to bid for this project. The Department for Energy Security & Net Zero, as the contracting authority based in London, UK, is seeking a contractor to provide annual modelling of fuel poverty statistics, offering opportunities for growth in the energy services sector. ## Notice The Department for Energy Security and Net Zero is legally bound to monitor and publish estimates of fuel poverty by the Warm Homes and Conservation Act 2001, as amended by the Energy Act 2013. Fuel poverty is measured based on a combination of energy efficiency, energy costs and household income. All the fuel poverty indicators used in England and the other UK nations use these core three measurements to calculate the individual metrics used by each nation to determine whether a household is fuel poor, how deep into fuel poverty it is and what changes in energy efficiency or income/costs would be needed to remove the household from fuel poverty. The objective of this modelling project is to model those three estimates for households taking part in the English Housing Survey physical survey. While the current metric for fuel poverty in England will be reviewed in the fuel poverty strategy update next year the vast majority of the proposed contracted work is to derive these core measurements that will underpin any likely metric choice. The project will involve developing a detailed understanding of the data sources, energy demand modelling and the fuel poverty metric(s). The modelling needs to continually evolve over time as building technologies, household behaviour and changes in energy demand, energy pricing and impacts of Government policy all have impacts on the number and type of fuel poor households that need to be understood. The modelling will be used to deliver the annual Fuel Poverty National Statistics consistent with the latest English Housing Survey. The modelling will be used for subsequent in-house projections by DESNZ: https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/fuel-poverty-statistics ### Lot Information Lot 1 The Department for Energy Security & Net Zero (DESNZ) are looking for the provision of annualmodelling of the fuel poverty status of households using the secondary modelling of income,energy efficiency and energy costs for households taking part in the English Housing Survey (EHS) survey. The work will be used to identify households in fuel poverty under the Low Income Low EnergyEfficiency and 10% affordability metrics, together with calculation of the fuel poverty gap. Themodel needs to capture the impact of established and temporary policy effects. Three key outputs required for the fuel poverty modelling: * A fuel poverty dataset: with raw EHS and fuel poverty inputs data, as well as new modelledvariables. * Documentation of quality assurance processes and assumptions logs used in the modelling.* A methodology report outlining the key steps and processes used to model fuel poverty, including key assumptions and models used. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/000863-2024 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 10 Jan 2024 | | Submission deadline | 7 Feb 2024 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | 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 | Active | | Lots status | Active | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | DEPARTMENT FOR ENERGY SECURITY & NET ZERO | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | Not specified | | Postcode | N/A | | Country | Not specified | | ITL 1 | Not specified | | ITL 2 | Not specified | | ITL 3 | Not specified | | Local authority | Not specified | | Electoral ward | Not specified | | Westminster constituency | Not specified | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services ### Codes - 71314000 - Energy and related services ## Release History - 10 Jan 2024 at 16:18 - TenderUpdate - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/000863-2024 - 4 Jan 2024 at 19:39 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/000279-2024 ## Notice URLs - https://beisgroup.ukp.app.jaggaer.com/esop/ogc- - https://beisgroup.ukp.app.jaggaer.com/esop/ogc-host/public/beisgroup/web/login.jst?VISITORID=3d4a90b4-4cb4-461a-b513-e0477f67c906&_ncp=1658156534660.22692-1 - https://beisgroup.ukp.app.jaggaer.com/go/37219272018CD4EB504C - https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/fuel-poverty-statistics - https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/department-for-energy-security-and-net-zero ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
