## Summary

The Scottish Government commissioned technical support for the stage 2 consultation on energy standards for new domestic buildings, focused on proposals for a Scottish equivalent to the Passivhaus standard. The work concerns the functionality of the consultation tools used by the Building Standards Division, rather than the development of the energy standard itself. The supplier was expected to support the consultation process, monitor use of each tool, handle or categorise queries and identify solutions, then produce a short summary report covering users, downloads, queries, themes and solutions. This is a specialist research and development consultancy service, delivered in support of Scottish Government activity in Scotland, with the buying organisation identified as the Scottish Government.

The procurement has been awarded following a tender process, with one bid recorded. Building Research Establishment Ltd was selected as supplier for £13,309.60 including the stated currency of GBP. The award covered support during the consultation period and possible extensions: an initial nine-week consultation with a further two weeks of potential extension, making 11 weeks in the stated requirement. The contract was signed on 8 November 2026 and is recorded as active. The evaluation outcome is therefore complete, with the award made to a single supplier. The requirement was treated as a services procurement and classified under research and development services and related consultancy services.

This award indicates demand for suppliers able to support public consultations on building energy standards through reliable technical administration and evidence reporting. A credible competitor would need to understand consultation-tool functionality, manage user and download data across several tools, record and organise incoming queries, identify recurring themes, and explain the solutions applied. It would also need to turn operational data into a concise report that gives the public body a clear account of tool usage and consultation issues. Relevant strengths include experience supporting government or regulatory consultations, robust data capture and reporting, and familiarity with building standards, energy performance or Passivhaus-related policy. The requirement is suited to a focused specialist consultancy able to provide responsive support throughout a defined consultation exercise.
