## About this tender

The current contract for the provision of energy efficiency and associated planned maintenance works to Council homes is due to expire in March 2027.

The proposed services / works to be covered by the new contract are as follows:

- PAS 2035 Services including Retrofit Assessment, Retrofit Design, Retrofit Coordination and Retrofit Evaluation, in accordance with PAS 2035:2023
- Production and submission of planning applications
- Production and coordination of party wall agreements
- Coordination with the council to provide information to external grant funders - currently DESNZ under the Warm Homes Social Housing Fund, Wave
- External and internal insulation works, including to walls, floors, lofts and roofs and below damp proof course (DPC)
- Cavity wall insulation, including removal and replacement of failed insulation
- Installation of renewable energy installations

It is anticipated that a single provider replacement contract will be awarded to cover all the services over a period of three (3) years with an option to extend the contract by a further two (2) years. The estimated budget for the future contract is approximately £15m per year. The contract value comprises a combination of Council funding and external grant funding, currently under the Warm Homes: Social Housing Fund Wave 3 which expires in 2028. Further grant funding will be sought if made available.

It is intended to procure the service using a Competitive Flexible Procedure that complies with current procurement legislation. The weightings are Price 30%; Quality 70%. We would expect all bidders interested to make price and quality submissions, of which up to 10 candidates will be shortlisted following a first round of Quality only evaluations. These 10 shortlisted tenders will undergo a full assessment for quality and price to identify up to the top 5 submissions. If there is a clear preferred bidder, we will appoint at this stage. If there is no preferred bidder we may undertake an additional round of interviews.

Tenders are expected to be issued in September 2026.

Shortlisting is expected to take place around November 2026.

Contract award is anticipated in January 2027.
