The mission of Energy Systems Catapult (ESC) is to support the UK government and industry in transforming the energy sector to deliver on the promise of net zero carbon by 2050. A critical challenge is reducing the carbon from non-domestic energy use.
Through work on Modern Energy Partners (MEP), and other projects, Energy Systems Catapult (ESC) believe that data could hold the key to addressing challenges faced by non-domestic sites seeking to decarbonise. Without real data, site operators have little confidence on the potential saving that a prospective site decarbonisation project could make. For projects that are carried out, there is still difficulty in understanding and demonstrating what benefit has been delivered or how this compares to similar sites.
To address this need, ESC is developing the InSite proposition. At the heart of this proposition, is the InSite data platform which will collect, aggregate, and process data from non-domestic sites to support policy makers, innovators, and investors. ESC has been granted funding to develop a data platform that will gather energy and other contextual data from a range of sources, process it and provide outputs that allow building and decarbonisation intervention archetypes to be mapped, benchmarks developed, and the typical performance of energy assets understood. It is proposed that this will be based on a mixture of static and live feeds of data, offering insights to changes in energy consumption.
Working together with LAs, Energy Systems Catapult (ESC) has developed a prototype platform that brings together the key components of a SLES Marketplace platform that can guide LAs through the stages needed to deliver complex smart local energy projects.

ESC are seeking a provider of office cleaning services and a Facilities Assistant to work in the office in central Birmingham. ESC offices in central Birmingham provides a work place for over 200 staff (and growing); ESC works collaboratively on projects with leading academics and practitioners in related industries, as well as pursuing its own projects. ESC’s premises will be visited by CEOs of associated businesses and academics in the field, so will provide the appropriate environment to anticipate such multiple uses, expressing the ethos of the business and walking the talk through the provision of appropriate technologies
Time extension of the original support detailed below is required.
The aims of this work are:
• to get a baseline understanding for how energy is procured by partner LAs and other
popular procurement methods
• to understand the needs of key stakeholders in the procurement process
• to identify potential barriers/issues to change or adopting new energy business models
Activities
• Audit of current energy procurement processes in partner LAs including process diagram
• Explore any other predominant energy procurement processes used by other non-partner
LAs
• Audit of current energy contracts in place for partner LAs
• Engagement with LA procurement teams and Crown Commercial Service to understand
needs and whether they experience issues with purchasing new energy products/services

Energy Systems Catapult (ESC) are leading the Unlocking Clean Energy in Greater
Manchester (UCEGM) project. Workstream 2 of the project aims to iteratively develop and
test new business models that can make renewable energy projects more attractive to LAs in
the Greater Manchester area. The intention of this work is to improve the investment case for
future renewables projects for LAs in the Greater Manchester area.
ESC are looking to seeking to subcontract with an organisation that can use energy system
modelling to analyse a selection of business models designed in WS2, in terms of their
financial viability for the asset investor (the Local Authority) and in terms of impacts on other
relevant metrics.
