Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Epping Forest District Council procured consultancy services for Wave 3 of its Energy Efficiency Retrofit Programme. The requirement covers infrastructure works consultancy and energy-related services, supporting the council’s programme to improve the energy efficiency of buildings through retrofit. The work is delivered in Epping, England. This is a services contract rather than a construction works contract, so it is relevant to consultancies providing technical, project, energy or infrastructure advice for retrofit programmes. The council is the buyer and commissioning organisation. The appointed consultant is expected to provide the various consultancy services required for this programme, although the published description does not break the requirement into individual service packages.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. Epping Forest District Council selected Ridge and Partners LLP on 13 March 2026. The awarded value is £294,850. The contract runs from 29 April 2026 to 31 March 2028. The opportunity was a selective procedure and a call-off from the Fusion21 Framework consultancy agreement, under the Greener Futures Partnership framework, Lot 5. The tender submission deadline was 30 January 2026 at 1pm. The procurement was evaluated through the framework call-off process. The contract is classified as a services procurement and was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. Ridge and Partners LLP is the sole supplier recorded for the award.

This award is useful market evidence for consultancies working in energy efficiency retrofit, infrastructure advice and related energy services. A credible future competitor would need to deliver consultancy across a public-sector retrofit programme and understand the technical and delivery issues associated with improving building energy performance. Experience of advising on infrastructure works and energy-related services would be directly relevant. The route to market is also significant: the council used a call-off from a framework agreement, so suppliers seeking similar work would need access to the relevant framework route or a comparable procurement arrangement. The award to an SME indicates that a business of this scale can satisfy the requirement, making it relevant to specialist and medium-sized consultancies as well as larger multidisciplinary firms.
