Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Merton has concluded the procurement process for the "Building Decarbonisation LCP", targeting the construction industry. This project involves comprehensive surveys by qualified consultants to enable detailed feasibility studies and scheme designs, aiming to decarbonise the council's building portfolio. This effort aligns with the council's goal to achieve carbon neutrality by 2030. The total contract value is £240,000, and it has been awarded to desco limited. The project commenced on 20th January 2025 and will end on 19th May 2026. Although the tender period ended on 7th October 2024, the award was confirmed on 17th January 2025 and published on 5th March 2025.

This contract presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in construction services, particularly those with expertise in low-carbon solutions and energy efficiency improvements. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are particularly well-suited to compete in such procurement processes, given their agility and innovation capabilities. Consultancy firms with a proven track record in sustainability studies and decarbonisation projects would benefit from such opportunities, especially considering the leverage of future funding from schemes like the Salix Low Carbon Skills Fund and the Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Building Decarbonisation LCP

Notice Description

surveys completed by a suitably qualified and experienced consultant, so that a detailed feasibility study and scheme design can be completed to assess the most suitable way forward. These surveys may also be used in the future to apply for funding via the Salix Low Carbon Skills Fund (LCSF) or the Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme (PSDS). The council is committed to be carbon neutral by 2030 and decarbonising its buildings plays a big part in that goal. Currently the building portfolio is difficult to decarbonise due to the majority of the buildings being heated by gas boilers which are relatively modern. Modern boilers are not eligible for government funding and therefore progress on decarbonising the estate has been slow.
