Technical requirements: As part of a wider programme of work to improve the energy performance of owner occupier properties, as set out in the Call for Evidence on “Building a market for energy efficiency”, BEIS is seeking to launch pilots to test approaches in 5 different geographic regions for increasing the rates of energy efficiency improvements in non-fuel poor homes by providing support for local supply chain integration and project coordination. The funding awarded by BEIS would be used over 6 months, with the option to extend this with for a further 2 years, to develop a sustainable model for driving retrofit in a local area. Contractors should seek to address the non-financial barriers to retrofit such as trust, hassle factor and lack of awareness. In the first 6 months, up to 190 000 GBP per organisation will be available. If the project is extended to subsequent years, up to 367 500 GBP could be available per year per organisation.

The funding awarded by BEIS would be used over 6 months, with the option to extend this with for a further 3 years, to develop a sustainable model for driving retrofit in a local area. Contractors should seek to address the non-financial barriers to retrofit such as trust, hassle factor and lack of awareness. In the first 6 months, up to 190 000 GBP per organisation will be available. If the project is extended to subsequent years, up to 367 500 GBP could be available per year per organisation.
Estimated value of this programme is 4 620 000 GBP. This is upon the basis that the contract runs for the full 30 months. The first 6 months will be a total of 950 000 GBP divided into 5 pots of 190 000 GBP. If the contract is extended into year 2 and year 3 each year will be an additional 3 670 000 GBP divided into 5 pots of 367 000 GBP.
We regret to inform you that the process for submitting bids for this project has now changed. As explained in the earlier update, this is being run as a call for grants as opposed to an Invitation to Tender for services. As such, we will be reissuing the project documents, including the correct grant terms and conditions on the gov.uk website. We will contact all the potential bidders who have expressed an interest in the project shortly to inform them of the process as soon as the new information is live. We sincerely apologise for the confusion caused by this. Please contact owneroccupier@beis.gov.uk if you have any further immediate queries.
