Description

THIS IS A PRIOR INFORMATION NOTICE it is not a call for competition for Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy. The tender is Non-domestic building optimisation and retrofit supply chain research. This project will give BEIS a more detailed understanding of the non-domestic (excluding public sector) building optimisation and retrofit supply chain(s) including:
• Companies that install fabric measures (for example insulation, glazing etc.)
• Companies that install building services (for example HVAC and building management systems)
• Companies that supply installers with first tier materials (excluding heat pumps as that is covered by existing research)
• Companies that focus on building optimisation (for example energy managers/consultants)
(But excluding facilities management companies who look after buildings on a day to day basis and do not necessarily undertake carbon reduction activities). The project will help to establish whether the non-domestic optimisation and retrofit supply chain(s) (the supply chain) is equipped to support our 20% energy efficiency improvement by 2030 and 2050 net zero targets. This will in turn help us to design and target effective policy interventions. Agenda; 1. Introductions, 2. Overview of the Research, 3. Expectations, 4. Procurement Overview, 5.
