The final date and time for the submission of bids is Monday, 28th February 2022 at 11:00am. Brief Description of Requirement The main aim of this research is to better understand other OECD countries' policies (including any that have recently ended) that aim to improve the energy efficiency of manufacturing and industry, with a view to introducing or updating similar policies in the UK. Of particular interest are policies and/or regulation that: • Increase the uptake and value of energy audits (or a similar type of assessment of the energy usage and energy efficiency of an industrial site or industrial process) • Provide Government with data on the manufacturing sector's energy usage and energy efficiency - for example, regulation requiring regular reporting of firms' energy usage or energy efficiency. • Set "benchmarks" for the energy efficiency of industrial processes - for example, if firms are given ratings for their industrial processes' energy efficiency, or if minimum standards are set. • Increase the uptake of Energy Management Systems, such as ISO50001.
