This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in impact evaluation, research, and consultancy services within the environmental and clean energy sectors. Companies with technical expertise, especially those familiar with the off-grid appliance sector in Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia, would find this opportunity particularly well-suited to their capabilities. The emphasis on assessing achievements and effectiveness ensures that innovative companies can make substantial contributions to shaping the LEIA programme's future direction. Businesses aiming to expand their footprint in the clean energy domain, particularly those with strong partnerships and collaborative experience, will find substantial business growth potential through this significant evaluation project. ## Notice The LEIA programme is commissioning an eight-year impact evaluation to assess its achievements and effectiveness to date. It will also explore LEIA's role in facilitating the growth of the off-grid appliance sector in Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia. We want to understand how LEIA's delivery model has worked in practice. That includes how partnerships, coordination and collaboration across different workstreams have helped increase its impact. ### Lot Information Lot 1 The LEIA programme is commissioning an eight-year impact evaluation to assess its achievements, effectiveness to date, and measure its overall contribution to the clean energy sector. The twin objectives of the eight-year impact evaluation are to: 1. Assess the impact of the LEIA programme both in terms of its direct outcomes and impact of the programme, achievements to date and understand its broader influence on the clean energy sector within its target geographies in Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia. 2. Inform the future direction of the LEIA programme by generating robust evidence on what has worked, why, and under what conditions. This will be achieved through shared learnings and deepened understanding of how the clean energy sector is evolving. This will help guide strategic decisions, ensure continued relevance, and support potential scale-up. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=SEP539185 | | Notice type | OJEU - F2 - Contract 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 | 15 Sep 2025 | | Submission deadline | 24 Oct 2025 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 5 Jan 2026 - 30 Sep 2026 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | £100,000 | | 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 | ENERGY SAVING TRUST LTD | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | Not specified | | Postcode | N19 NG. | | 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 - 72 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 71314300 - Energy-efficiency consultancy services - 72224000 - Project management consultancy services - 73000000 - Research and development services and related consultancy services - 73200000 - Research and development consultancy services - 73210000 - Research consultancy services - 73220000 - Development consultancy services - 79419000 - Evaluation consultancy services ## Release History - 15 Sep 2025 at 00:00 - Tender - OJEU - F2 - Contract Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=SEP539185 ## Documents - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=SEP539185&idx=2 15th September 2025 - EST Mandatory Policies - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=SEP539185&idx=3 15th September 2025 - PSQ - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=SEP539185&idx=4 15th September 2025 - Ayrton Theory of Change - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=SEP539185&idx=5 15th September 2025 - LEIA Theory of Change - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=SEP539185&idx=6 15th September 2025 - Purchasing Terms - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=SEP539185&idx=1 15th September 2025 - ITT Comprehensive Impact Assessment 2025 - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=SEP539185 ITT for an impact evaluation of the Low Energy Inclusive Appliances Programme - The LEIA programme is commissioning an eight-year impact evaluation to assess its achievements and effectiveness to date.
