Summary of the contracting process

The West of England Combined Authority invites proposals for the "Retrofit West Evaluation" project, classified under "Research consultancy services" and "Evaluation consultancy services" (CPV codes 73210000 and 79419000). The initiative aims to assess the impact and value for money of the Retrofit West Scheme in domestic retrofitting within the West of England. This evaluation will provide insights into the scheme’s success and areas for improvement by comparing it with similar projects such as Great Manchester Combined Authority's 'Your Home Better'. The open tender process, currently active, has a submission deadline of 31st January 2025, with the contract period running from 14th February 2025 to 5th September 2025. The project budget ranges between £40,000 and £60,000. For full access to tender documents and to submit proposals, suppliers must register on the ATAMIS e-procurement system.

This tender presents a significant business development opportunity, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in research and evaluation consultancy services. By engaging in this project, businesses can showcase their evaluation capabilities and contribute to enhancing domestic retrofit projects, a growing sector driven by sustainability goals. Companies with a solid background in impact evaluation, contribution analysis, and sector comparisons, especially within local authority settings, will be well-positioned to compete. Success in this tender could not only bring financial benefits but also elevate the winning organisation’s profile in a highly pertinent and expanding industry.

Notice Title

Retrofit West Evaluation

Notice Description

The West of England Mayoral Combined Authority is looking to commission an evaluation of the Retrofit West Scheme that looks at the impact and value for money of the Retrofit services on the supply and demand for domestic retrofit in the West of England region, as well as drawing lessons learnt from the implementation and delivery of Retrofit West (process evaluation) that could be fed into future decision making about funding in this area. The evaluation should take a contribution analysis approach to the impact evaluation, considering what else is contributing to the achievement of outcomes, as well as considering the contextual factors that may be preventing the full achievement of project outcomes. The evaluation should also review the current literature on homeowner retrofit best practice for local authorities (and combined authorities in particular). It should compare the impact, delivery and value for money of Retrofit West against other 'retrofit accelerator' type projects elsewhere in the country, including Great Manchester Combined Authority's 'Your Home Better'. The MCA would like to understand how Retrofit West compares to industry recommendations and best practice elsewhere, and what we could learn from other projects to strengthen our offer and impact in the West of England region. The Mayoral Combined Authority uses ATAMIS as its e-procurement system. Suppliers will need to register at - https://weca-atamis.my.site.com/s/Welcome - to access full documents and submit proposals.
