Evaluation of the Warm Homes Local Grant

This is an award notice for a procurement contract, not a call for competition. The contract was awarded through a competitive process under the RM6126 Research and Insights Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS). The focus areas include Environment and Infrastructure, specifically targeting decarbonisation, emissions reduction, and achieving Net Zero goals. The research methods employed will involve general data collection using both qualitative and quantitative approaches. The Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) is committed to the UK government's goal of reaching Net Zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. This initiative aims to reduce energy bills, decarbonise the building sector, and alleviate fuel poverty. The awarded supplier, RSM UK Consulting LLP, will conduct a process and impact evaluation of the Warm Homes Local Grant (WHLG), which is a local authority-led domestic retrofit scheme designed to replace the Local Authority Delivery and Home Upgrade Grants.
