This is a contract result notice, not an open opportunity. Details from the official award data.

The final date and time for the submission of bids is 13 / 06 / 2018 at 14:00 DO NOT apply directly to the buyer.

All tender information MUST be submitted through the CCS eSourcing Portal.

Brief Description of Requirement Much of the investment required to meet the UK's carbon budgets and clean growth ambition in the Industrial Strategy and Clean Growth Strategy will be delivered locally.

It will involve new technologies and business models, and increasingly rely on flexibility and integration across power, heat and transport infrastructure and services to create whole place distributed energy solutions.

The Local Energy Team (LET) within BEIS is keen to identify and analyse examples of integrated local energy activity i.e. investment in and delivery of whole place solutions that integrate multiple mechanisms into a smart system such as demand side response, energy efficiency and renewable energy generation, energy storage (batteries) and local energy markets (energy trading).

When deployed together within a local area, these create a dynamic local energy system, freeing up grid capacity, saving carbon, reducing energy bills, and creating significant wider - often unrelated - growth outcomes vital to national economic prosperity including productivity and inclusive growth.

This research will gather and synthesise evidence on benefits, outcomes (including interim outcomes) and impacts achieved by a range of integrated local energy programmes including public funded schemes and public / private partnerships.
