II.2.4) Description of the procurement

4The new Service will go live on 1st April 2022 replacing Zero Waste Scotland’s Energy Efficient Business Support service. The service which Energy Saving Trust is providing includes free support, training, and access to funding to help organisations implement energy saving measures . There are three main elements to the service:

1) Business Energy Scotland service ‘Hub’

The ‘Hub’ delivers advice and support through a range of channels including telephone, internet/web-based and publications

2) Training and capacity building

Development of a range of training and skills-transfer activities including on-line training tools and one to many workshops and webinars.

3) Tailored specialist support for implementation

More detailed telephone-based or on-site one-to-one consultancy support is being delivered focussing on implementation of energy efficiency activities. This support also provides information on the available sources of finance and other providers of support to help organisations implement their plans.

To support the delivery of these services, Energy Saving Trust is setting up a framework to provide generic and specialist consultancy support on behalf of the Service for energy efficiency measures to private and third sector SME organisations based in Scotland. The framework also covers the provision of a wider support role to the service which may include the peer reviewing of reports and ad hoc support. This document sets out full details for any potential new Bidders to provide such support.

The Service provides a range of in-depth support including:

- Written technical energy saving action plans.

- Advice on energy saving required by client organisations on the cost-effective opportunities for saving money and reducing carbon.

- A small number of carbon footprints covering scope 1, 2 and major scope 3 contributors.

- A small number of building passports documenting the current building envelope and recommendations to improve it,

- A small number of net-zero pathways including recommendations to reduce carbon emissions.

- Consultancy support to help deliver this in-depth support is the focus of this Procurement.

To meet the requirements of the service the framework delivers work at two tiers of consultancy support. Tier 1 support is to provide generic energy saving support to organisations across Scotland, for which the level of competency required will generally be lower than that required of the Tier 2 support. Tier 2 support is to provide specialist industrial technical support on one or more energy saving technologies and develop more detailed business cases.
