KUL Summative Assessment - Heat the Streets

Tender description

Heat the Streets is a ground-breaking scheme delivering heavily subsidised ground source heat pumps to 500 homes in Cornwall. The two-year, £8.7 million project developed by Cornish ground source heat pump infrastructure and asset company, KUL, is supported by £6.2 million of grants from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF). The programme will be measured against the following outputs in accordance with ESIF-GN-1-002_ERDF_Output_Indicators_Guidance_v 9: Additional capacity for renewable energy production (C30) - The project will add 3.5 MW of renewable heat Estimated Green House Gasses reductions (C34) - 786 tonnes of Green House Gasses will be saved each year following completion of works delivered by this project Number of households with improved energy consumption classification (C31) - 500 households will benefit from improved energy consumption KUL is seeking to commission an experienced supplier to undertake a robust assessment of Heat the Streets against its target objectives, outcomes and outputs. This must be completed according to ESIF guidance. The evaluation will consist of three phases with separate reporting requirements: Baseline setting and assessment planning - completed by May 2022 Interim Evaluation - September 2022 Final Evaluation - April 2023 KUL is active in lobbying for strategic industry investment from the government. Learnings and evidence gained through delivery of Heat the Streets will be invaluable in this work. It is therefore a requirement that summary reports (two sides A4) are created, of key findings of the project evaluation, that will help KUL promote the benefits of networked heat pumps and move the UK towards strategic heat decarbonisation. Applicants should submit: - a covering letter - proposal - budget by email to: info@kensautilities.com no later than 17:00 on 25/03/2022
