The Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy (BEIS) is looking for a contractor to administer the Green Deal (GD) Oversight and Registration Body (GD ORB) from 1 November 2021. The GD ORB acts on behalf of the Secretary of State as the delivery arm to administer the functions of the GD, as set out in the Energy Act 2011 and Green Deal Framework (Disclosure, Acknowledgement, Redress etc) Regulations (the 'Framework Regulations'). The successful tenderer will be expected to be familiar with, and have proper regard to, the relevant GD provisions of the Energy Act 2011 and the Framework Regulations when acting in this capacity.

Payments to be made monthly in arrears, upon receipt of invoice for work completed.
