Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Northumberland County Council appointed a main contractor to deliver domestic energy-efficiency retrofit and decarbonisation works across Northumberland. The work supports the council’s Warmer Homes Team and government-funded Warm Homes: Social Housing Fund and Warm Homes: Local Grant programmes. Its purpose is to help domestic properties achieve EPC C by 2030, reduce fuel poverty, lower household energy bills and reduce carbon emissions from energy use. The procurement is categorised as construction work, with additional central-heating repair and maintenance services. Delivery is across Northumberland in the North East of England. It is a works opportunity for contractors able to manage domestic retrofit programmes and associated heating-related construction and maintenance.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Northumberland County Council used a selective procedure as a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. Bids had to be submitted by 20 February 2026 at 12:00 UTC. The contract was awarded on 14 July 2026 to Sureserve Energy Services UK Limited and PHS Home Solutions, jointly, for £15,000,000. The contract runs from 14 July 2026 to 30 April 2028. The award covers the full requirement rather than separately reported lots. The procurement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, and the work is classified primarily as construction, with central-heating repair and maintenance included.

This award shows sustained public-sector demand for contractors that can deliver domestic retrofit and decarbonisation at programme scale across Northumberland. The selected suppliers are large businesses, indicating that credible competitors need the capacity to coordinate substantial volumes of household work, manage delivery across a county-wide area and maintain consistent quality over a multi-year contract. Relevant capability includes energy-efficiency improvements, retrofit planning and delivery, carbon-reduction measures, and repair and maintenance of central-heating systems. Experience of improving domestic energy performance towards EPC C, while addressing fuel poverty and household energy costs, would be directly relevant. Smaller firms may be well placed to participate through specialist delivery, regional capacity or supply-chain roles.
