Summary of the contracting process

Worcestershire County Council spearheaded a procurement process under the Warm Homes Local Grant to appoint a retrofit installer. This contract, valued at up to £2,500,000, is aimed at enhancing the energy efficiency of poorly performing homes, particularly benefiting low-income owner-occupiers and private rented households in the West Midlands, UK. The procurement falls within the construction sector, focusing on construction work for houses and multi-dwelling buildings. The award stage of the procurement was completed with the contract being awarded to Evolve Home Energy Solutions Ltd, beginning on 28th May 2026 and concluding on 31st July 2028. The tender involved a further competition among nine suppliers from the Midlands Net Zero Hub Dynamic Purchasing System, facilitated by Nottingham City Council, adhering to Regulation 34 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015.

This procurement presents significant potential for business growth, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises involved in the energy efficiency and construction industries. Companies specialising in home insulation, window and door replacements, solar photovoltaic systems, and low carbon heating solutions will find opportunities to expand their service offerings through this contract. The project's focus on energy retrofitting positions it as a lucrative opportunity for businesses aiming to contribute to environmental sustainability while also increasing their market presence in a government-supported initiative aimed at the domestic sector's decarbonisation.
