BEIS would like a contractor for the delivery of an evaluation of the regulations which establish a minimum energy efficiency standard for privately rented domestic properties. The regulations target the most inefficient private rental properties, namely those with an F or G energy rating, with approximately 280,000 properties expected to be affected. The regulations come into force for new tenancies from April 2018 and for all tenancies from April 2020. The evaluation seeks to deliver against two aims: •Aim 1 - provide evidence to inform future policy development to improve the energy efficiency of domestic properties, required from 2018 onwards. •Aim 2 - provide evidence of the impact of the scheme to support a regulatory review, required in 2023.
