Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Lewes District Council and Eastbourne Borough Council have commissioned works to deliver and install social decarbonisation retrofit measures in line with Department for Energy Security and Net Zero requirements. The scope is building installation and building completion work, including retrofit measures intended to improve the energy performance of existing homes or buildings. Delivery is across the South East of England. Prosper Procurement Ltd managed the procurement for the contracting body. The requirement is classified as works and is identified under building installation work (CPV 45300000), with building completion work as an additional category. It is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, and the appointed contractor is Mears Limited.

This is a completed procurement and an award following a direct award under the Decarbonisation Retro-Fit Framework, including refurbishment works. The award was made to Mears Limited on 11 August 2026 for £2,500,000. The contract runs from 12 August 2026 to 31 August 2031. The tender submission deadline was 10 August 2026 at 23:59. Prosper Procurement Ltd managed the process on behalf of Lewes District and Eastbourne Borough Councils. The procurement used a direct award route rather than an open competition, drawing on the existing framework. The contract is for works, and the award notice records the requirement as complete and the award as active.

This award demonstrates sustained public-sector demand for domestic or building retrofit delivered through a framework route, with the requirement combining energy-efficiency measures, refurbishment-related activity, building installation and completion work. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to manage whole-project retrofit delivery, coordinate installation teams and complete associated building works to the standards required by the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero. Evidence of delivering comparable decarbonisation or refurbishment programmes, reliable supply-chain and workforce capacity, and the ability to operate across the South East would strengthen its position. Smaller firms may be relevant, either as framework suppliers or as capable delivery partners for larger retrofit contractors.
