Description

***** THIS IS AN AWARD NOTICE, NOT A CALL FOR COMPETITION *****

This procurement is being concluded following a mini competition under the CCS RM6126 Research & Insights DPS

Brief Description of Requirement
BEIS is seeking to commission an interim evaluation of the package of new Domestic Energy Affordability Support interventions in Great Britain that began delivery in October 2022. This will involve process, outcome and early impact evaluations of the Energy Bills Support Scheme (EBSS), EBSS Alternative Funding (EBSS AF), Energy Price Guarantee (EPG) and Alternative Fuel Payment (AFP). These interventions are very large in both value and scale, covering almost the entire population of Great Britain; as such, this evaluation is a priority for the Department and wider Government.
The evaluation will use an overarching theory-based framework to evaluate awareness, understanding, perceptions and experience of the delivery of the interventions, as well as outcomes of interest, including intervention reach and benefits to energy and wider household consumption, household finances, health and welfare and the wider economy. The contract will also involve collecting evidence of perceived impacts of the interventions as reported by households and wider contextual data to support a robust impact evaluation that is expected to be tendered separately in due course. Scoping of impact and economic evaluation requirements will be conducted as part of this contract.
