Technical requirements: Energy Technology List Scheme Delivery and Research Programme Services and Products Policy Support Services.
The Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) wishes to appoint a Supplier(s) to undertake the following work, in the form of 2 contracts: one covering the Energy Technology List Scheme Delivery; the other the combined Energy Technology List Scheme Research Programme Services and Products Policy Support Services.
The Authority is seeking a supplier to deliver the Energy Technology List (ETL). The ETL's purpose is to promote business energy-efficiency.
1. Delivery of the scheme, including its continued development and improved performance, working closely with the supplier for Lot 2;
2. Maintaining the ETPL by processing applications and adding/removing new products on a monthly basis based on the qualifying criteria;
3. Annual revision: updating the ETPL and guidance documents to ensure continued level of compliance with the annual revision to the ETCL;
The contract will be offered for 3 years and the Authority reserves the right to offer a further year's extension.
For some of the responsibilities outlined in the specification tables, a high-level suggested approach to QA has been outlined in the right-hand column. However, BEIS is interested in considering other ideas for improving the approach to QA. Therefore, when outlining the QA plan, BEIS encourages alternative options for carrying out QA in a more effective way as well as confirming whether or not the suggested approach is practicable.
The contract is for a period of 36 months with a possible extension of up to 12 months, unless terminated or extended by the Department in accordance with the terms of the contracts. The decision to extend will be subject to review at the end of year 3.

The Authority is seeking a supplier to provide policy support services to help the UK Government develop and implement policies to improve the energy efficiency and other environmental impacts of energy using products by supporting the development of energy efficiency and energy labelling standards.
1. Providing technical briefing and analysis on specific energy-related products, including applications for ETL product listing and new technology proposals;
5. Conducting a research programme to make recommendations for annual revisions to the ETL including detailed proposals for updating the ETCL and updating claim values where the ECA does not apply to the full cost of the equipment;
For some of the responsibilities outlined in the specification tables, a high-level suggested approach to QA has been outlined in the right-hand column. However, BEIS is interested in considering other ideas for improving the approach to QA. Therefore, when outlining the QA plan, BEIS encourages alternative options for carrying out QA in a more effective way as well as confirming whether or not the suggested approach is practicable.
