## Description

\*\*\*\*\* THIS IS AN AWARD NOTICE, NOT A CALL FOR COMPETITION \*\*\*\*\* This procurement is being concluded following a competitive procurement exercise\. Brief Description of Requirement As per the "Delivering a smart and secure electricity system: the interoperability and cyber security of energy smart appliances and remote load control" consultation1, appliances like electric vehicle charge points and heat pumps have high potential to provide flexibility through Demand Side Response \(DSR\)\. While they will increase demand for electricity, these appliances and others can deliver DSR by changing when electricity is used or produced, to minimise their impact on the energy system\. As markets for such appliances continue to grow, new business models and services will emerge whereby companies remotely manage consumers' energy smart appliances according to consumer preferences, to reduce impact on the energy system and subsequently reduce consumer bills\. In addition, appliances will be able to optimise energy usage, while also ensuring consumers' needs are met\. For example, an electric vehicle smart charge point can be programmed to ensure that a consumer's car is charged when they need it, but it can also optimise when the car charges to minimise the energy system impact\. This will allow DSR to be delivered 'behind the scenes' for consumers, ensuring they still get the same or better service but at lower costs and while retaining choice and control\.
