Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Tees Valley Combined Authority bought consultancy support for the North East and Yorkshire Net Zero Hub, to help local authorities and community groups develop renewable energy projects. The work extends the Hub’s local capacity support function, providing technical guidance and helping project teams identify viable routes to commercialisation and financing models. The service includes tailored one-to-one support, knowledge-sharing webinars and skills workshops. It is aimed at projects led by local authorities and communities, rather than general energy consultancy. Delivery is in the North East of England. The requirement is classified as specialist training services, but its practical focus is renewable energy project development, commercialisation and finance.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Altass Limited on 29 September 2026. The award value is £72,780, with the contract running from 16 October 2026 to 31 March 2027. The contract was placed through a mini-competition under the Net Zero Hub Technical Assistance Framework, using its commercial case development lot. The tender deadline was 14 September 2026. The published information describes the support required but does not state evaluation criteria or supplier eligibility conditions. Tees Valley Combined Authority is the buyer. The recorded suitability assessment says the opportunity was not suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises.

For suppliers considering similar future work for the Net Zero Hub, this award indicates demand for specialist consultancy that combines renewable energy knowledge with practical commercial and financing advice. A credible provider would need to guide local authorities and community groups through project development, assess viable routes to commercialisation and financing, and deliver support in several formats: tailored one-to-one assistance, webinars and workshops. The work also calls for the ability to build clients’ capability, not simply produce advice or reports. The framework route and dedicated commercial case development category show that the buyer procures this support as part of technical assistance for project pipelines. The buyer’s suitability assessment indicates that this requirement was not aimed at SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises.
