Summary of the contracting process

Gloucester City Homes Limited procured services for the provision of EPCs, described under the standard classification as energy-efficiency consultancy services. The requirement is a service contract supporting energy-efficiency assessment and certification activity. Delivery is across the South West of England. The buying organisation is Gloucester City Homes Limited, based in Gloucester. The procurement is relevant to firms that provide EPCs and associated energy-efficiency consultancy, particularly those able to serve properties or customers across the South West. It is a focused requirement for a housing organisation rather than a broad construction, maintenance or general professional-services contract.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Gloucester City Homes Limited used a direct single-tender action because the requirement was below the applicable threshold. The tender submission deadline was 13 July 2026 at 12:00. Earth UK Ltd was awarded the contract on 23 July 2026 for £60,000 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 27 July 2026 to 31 March 2027. The award is active. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The procurement is categorised as services and concerns one requirement, with no lot structure recorded.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award provides a clear example of Gloucester City Homes’ demand for EPC provision and energy-efficiency consultancy delivered in the South West. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need demonstrable competence in producing EPCs and advising on energy efficiency, with the operational capacity to deliver consistently across the relevant housing portfolio or service area. The successful supplier was an SME, showing that the requirement can be delivered by a smaller specialist business. Suppliers should also be prepared to engage through a below-threshold direct procurement route and to demonstrate reliable, proportionate delivery rather than the resources associated with a major works contract.
