## About this tender

The Energy Systems Catapult's Energy Revolution Integration Service (ERIS) is looking for information from potential tool providers for consideration for inclusion in their Local Authority driven Smart Local Energy Systems Toolkit.

ERIS seeks to support the Prospering for the Energy Revolution (PFER) service in achieving its goals. One way in which it will do this is to engage with suitably qualified industry sector participants to help define, develop and provide a consolidated set of resources (SLES Toolkit) for assisting Local Authorities and their partners to implement SLES innovations across the UK in their drive towards the Green Recovery. The PFER programme includes a programme of SLES projects (26) which are at different stages of development and have received funding; more details can be found at: [youtube.com/watch](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VKmI8L-Z1ys)

The SLES Toolkit is a curated set of resources that Local Authority users can access quickly, easily, and reliably that will support them in overcoming barriers to taking a SLES forward across its full lifecycle. These resources could include practical tools, models, templates, methodologies, expertise, amongst other capabilities.

ERIS will utilise a transparent and structured processes to develop the toolkit and tool inclusion and will actively promote the adoption and collaboration across this important sector by ensuring it is driven by user requirements. The aspiration is that the Toolkit will have a national impact by providing practical, real-world support to Local Authorities and their partners.

The development of the SLES Toolkit and it's requirements is at an early stage. ERIS is therefore looking for potential tool providers to help build it and fill the gap that is believed to exist for this type of support for Local Authorities and their partners in designing, planning, funding, implementing and operating their SLES' projects.
