Summary of the contracting process

Sefton Council, a local authority in England, has successfully awarded the contract for the "Warm Homes Local Grant Contractor" project. This initiative is part of a broader government effort by the Department of Energy Security & Net Zero (DESNZ) to retrofit poorly insulated homes of low-income residents in Sefton as part of the UK's Net Zero Carbon target by 2050. The procurement, classified under construction work (CPV code 45000000), follows a direct award method. The awarded contract, valued at £26,000,000, was announced on 21st January 2025 and will span from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2028, with potential extension discussed in the upcoming Spring Budget of March 2025.

This tender creates significant opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) focused on construction and retrofitting. Businesses skilled in energy efficiency improvements and sustainable building practices would be well-suited to compete in this environment. The project not only promises substantial financial rewards but also aligns with broader environmental and social goals, fostering business growth in the green economy. Sefton Council has designated Ecogee Ltd, an SME, as the supplier, indicating a preference for smaller, agile companies capable of delivering high-quality, sustainable solutions.
