The project falls under the industry category of research services and is located within the UK. The procurement used a limited method and was awarded without prior publication due to specific technical reasons. Key dates include the contract signing on 1 October 2024, with the process initiated as a tender and now in the award stage. The awarded contract is worth GBP 181,810 and has been fulfilled by Green Energy Options Ltd. This tender presents significant opportunities for growth in the smart home technology market, specifically for businesses specialising in energy management and smart grid solutions. Companies that are members of the Energy Management Working Group of the Connectivity Standards Alliance and the OpenADR Alliance are particularly well-suited to participate, given the technical requirements. This project focuses on enhancing smart home technology adoption among consumers, offering potential business expansion for companies involved in developing, integrating, and managing home energy systems. ## Notice The purpose of this work is to procure the services of Green Energy Options Ltd. to develop a specification which aligns OpenADR 3.0 to Matter for the purposes of integrating home energy management services (smart home) with domestic demand side response participation (smart grid) to promote the uptake of smart home technologies by consumers. ### Lot Information Lot 1 The purpose of this work is to procure the services of Green Energy Options Ltd. to develop a specification which aligns OpenADR 3.0 to Matter for the purposes of integrating home energy management services (smart home) with domestic demand side response participation (smart grid) to promote the uptake of smart home technologies by consumers. ### Procurement Information The work can only be developed by organisations that are both members of the Energy Management Working Group of the Connectivity Standards Alliance (CSA) and the OpenADR Alliance. GEO is the only UK CSA member that is both a member of the Working Group and the OpenADR Alliance. The specification can only be developed by a UK company because it is relevant to PAS 1878, which is a standard sponsored by the UK Government for the benefit of UK companies. Becoming a member of CSA and the Working Group requires time and resources and would cost about $105k per year and 6 months for existing members to agree to admission of new members. We are not aware of any UK organisation that wishes to join the CSA and the Working Group, and a new member would be very unlikely as joining has no commercial benefit if not exploited and exploitation can only be done by being members of OpenADR Alliance. Even if other UK organisations are admitted to CSA and the working group, they will need to join OpenADR Alliance to be able to develop the required specification. While OpenADR Alliance organisation can make changes to the OpenADR specification, OpenADR Alliance is not a member of the CSA and has no experience in Matter Energy Management. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/038702-2024 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Limited | | Procurement method details | Award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 2 Dec 2024 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 30 Sep 2024 | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | £181,810 | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Cancelled | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | DEPARTMENT FOR ENERGY SECURITY AND NET ZERO | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South West London | | Postcode | SW1A 2EG | | 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 | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | GREEN ENERGY OPTIONS | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ### Codes - 73110000 - Research services ## Release History - 2 Dec 2024 at 09:47 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/038702-2024 ## Notice URLs - https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/net-zero-innovation-portfolio ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
