Summary of the contracting process

North Northamptonshire Council has concluded the procurement process for its Decarbonisation Project, aimed at transitioning three council buildings to more sustainable energy solutions. The offerings required were Air Source Heat Pumps and Solar PV Panels, replacing conventional gas boilers. This project aligns with the broader initiative to embrace renewable energy and reduce carbon emissions. Situated in the East Midlands, United Kingdom, the procurement followed an open procedure, suitable for small and medium enterprises (SMEs). Although initially active, the tender was awarded on 28 May 2025, with the award notice published the following day. The contract period is scheduled from 16 June 2025 to 28 January 2026, with the project’s total value estimated at £3,978,967.59.

The procurement initiative presents growth opportunities for businesses specialising in renewable energy technologies, construction, and maintenance services. Businesses that manufacture or install solar panels and heating systems, as well as those engaged in energy-efficient refurbishments, would find this project beneficial, especially SMEs given their eligibility in the open procedure. The awarded contract to Alternative Heat Limited showcases the potential for similar businesses to leverage expertise in sustainable energy solutions to compete effectively in future tenders within the industry. This project underscores a commitment to the environment, providing a platform for businesses to contribute to ecological efforts while expanding their market footprint.
