ICF: Green Homes Grant Scheme
(asked on 21st October 2021) - View Source
Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:
To ask Her Majesty's Government what criteria are used by ICF Consulting Services Ltd to assess value for money in the Green Homes Grant; and what assessment they have made of ICF’s (1) performance in assessing value for money, and (2) overall performance of their contract.
Answered by
Lord Callanan
Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Energy Security and Net Zero)
It is the responsibility of the Department to assess value for money of the scheme, not the contractor. The Department uses Net Present Value (NPV) to assess the current and future benefits and costs of a policy.
We have reached a commercial settlement with ICF about their ability to meet their contractual obligations and the exit and transition of the contract.
