Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Warm Homes Local Grant" was overseen by the ST ALBANS CITY & DISTRICT Council. This initiative, categorised under climatology services, aimed to enhance energy efficiency and implement low carbon heating upgrades in low-income, privately owned or rented homes with an EPC rating from D to G. The procurement method used was selective, specifically as a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract was awarded to commence on 1st May 2025 for a duration of three years, ending on 30th April 2028. The tender was in the South East region of the United Kingdom, with the key procurement stage being the award phase, which was finalised on 15th April 2025. The contract value was set at £125,000. The National Energy Foundation (NEF) emerged as the successful supplier for this contract, with the award notice published on 28th August 2025.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in climatology and energy efficiency services, particularly those able to deliver innovative solutions for low-income housing. Companies that are familiar with working on selective procurement processes and call-offs from framework agreements may find this scope beneficial for expanding their portfolio in the public sector. Moreover, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to pursue such contracts, given the council’s suitability requirements, although voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSE) are not specifically highlighted. By participating in similar tenders, businesses can enhance their reputation and expertise in delivering sustainable energy solutions within the public domain, paving the way for future opportunities.
