## Summary

The procurement process is being conducted by the Scottish Government for the project titled "Outline Business Case for Energy Efficient Scotland: Delivery Mechanism." This initiative falls under the categories of general public services and training services and is intended to establish a national framework for enhancing energy efficiency in Scotland. The procurement is currently in the Tender stage, with submissions due by 20 September 2019. The contract will be executed in Glasgow, UK, and it seeks bidders through an open procedure, allowing for broad participation.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in consulting services, especially those with expertise in energy efficiency and public service delivery. Companies capable of providing strategic advice and developing frameworks for national initiatives would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. The expected scale of investment in energy efficiency solutions could create a considerable market for businesses willing to engage in this sector, as the overall objective aims to achieve long-term energy-saving goals while fostering local partnerships.

## Notice

This work will prepare an OBC for how the Scottish Government could develop a National Delivery Mechanism for Energy Efficient Scotland through either an Executive Non-Departmental Public Body or a new Scottish Government Directorate and to identify the aspects of the programme cost, including those activities which could be delivered in partnership with Local Authorities.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

1. Scottish Ministers announced in June 2015 that they would take long-term action to reduce energy demand and decarbonise the heat supply in our residential, services and industrial sectors, designating energy efficiency as a National Infrastructure Priority. 2. The cornerstone of this is Energy Efficient Scotland, a coordinated programme building on our existing schemes, which over its 20 year lifetime will reduce energy demand and contribute to achieving our ambitious climate change targets whilst continuing to help tackle fuel poverty and ensuring Scotland is a good place to do business. It is estimated that over its lifetime the scale of investment needed to improve the energy efficiency of Scotland's buildings is in the region of 10-12 billion GBP. 3. In a 2017 consultation, Scottish Government asked about how best to deliver Energy Efficient Scotland. One of the messages it received was the potential need for a national mechanism to oversee its delivery. A national delivery mechanism was suggested as it reflects the duration and complexity of Energy Efficient Scotland, and the significant investment involved. 4. The Scottish Government commissioned an independent Strategic Outline Case to provide independent advice to support the development of the options analysis on the governance model for a National Delivery Mechanism to oversee the delivery of Energy Efficient Scotland. The Report, published in April 2019, concluded a new Executive Non-Departmental Public Body or Scottish Government Directorate were the most suitable structures to enhance delivery. 5. The Outline Business Case (OBC) will analyse in detail what structures are required to deliver the programme on a National basis, including collaborative delivery approaches with Local Authorities, and estimate and assess set-up and running costs, efficiency and value for money..
