Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

North Hertfordshire District Council bought managing-agent services for the Warm Homes Local Grant, with the National Energy Foundation administering grant funding for eligible work. The requirement concerns energy-related services delivered in the East of England. The managing agent’s role is to administer the grant-funded programme; the published description refers to the grant allocation and associated capital and ancillary costs being contractually administered through the Foundation. This is a local-authority grant delivery requirement, rather than a procurement of energy itself or a construction project described in detail. The selected provider, the National Energy Foundation, is a voluntary community and social enterprise as well as a small business.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to the National Energy Foundation. The award date was 15 May 2025, and the contract runs from 15 May 2025 to 31 March 2028. Its awarded value is £1,420,350, inclusive of capital and ancillary costs administered through the Foundation. The requirement was procured as a call-off from a framework agreement using a selective procedure. The tender deadline was 30 April 2025 at 5pm. The process was classified as a services procurement, and the opportunity was marked suitable for small and medium-sized businesses and voluntary, community and social enterprises. No award evaluation criteria are recorded in the procurement details.

For suppliers considering similar future work for North Hertfordshire District Council, this award demonstrates demand for a managing agent able to administer a Warm Homes Local Grant programme, including the contractual administration of grant funding and associated capital and ancillary costs. Credible competitors would need the operational capability to manage a funded local delivery programme and the financial and administrative controls needed to handle grant-related costs. The appointment went to the National Energy Foundation, which is identified as both an SME and a voluntary, community and social enterprise, showing that this type of work was delivered by a specialist organisation of that scale and profile. The route used was a call-off from a framework, so framework access and the capacity to meet the buyer’s programme requirements are relevant to competing when this requirement returns.
