***** 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

A household is defined as being in fuel poverty if they are on a lower income and unable to heat their home for a reasonable cost. Cold homes have been linked to poor physical and mental health. Three factors impact fuel poverty: household income, the price of energy, and the energy efficiency of the home.

The Committee on Fuel Poverty (CFP) is an advisory Non-Departmental Public Body sponsored by the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ). The role of the Committee is to provide advice and challenge to government on reducing fuel poverty in England.

This study aims to support the Committee to understand the key barriers and enablers to ensuring fuel poor households make a fair transition to net zero.
