Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Star Procurement Limited commissioned specialist consultancy services to support the Council’s heat network projects. The work covers development and delivery support, with advice tailored to the requirements and emerging findings of individual projects. The service category is energy-efficiency consultancy, covering specialist project support rather than construction or physical network installation. Delivery is associated with the M32 0TH location in England. The procurement is classed as a service opportunity and is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The requirement is relevant to consultancies that advise public bodies on heat networks, energy efficiency, project development and delivery, and can adapt their input as project needs develop.

This procurement is complete and has been awarded. The Council used a selective call-off from the RM6309 Management Consultancy Framework Four, making a direct award under that framework. The tender period ended at 09:00 on 6 July 2026. Turner & Townsend Group Limited was awarded the contract on 7 July 2026 for £60,000 including the stated GBP currency. The contract runs from 7 July 2026 to 6 July 2027. The award is active. The requirement was evaluated and procured through the framework route rather than an open competition for this individual contract. The award therefore records the outcome of a framework-based selection for heat network consultancy project support.

For a supplier assessing future work with Star Procurement Limited, this award demonstrates a defined demand for specialist heat network consultancy supporting both project development and delivery. A credible competitor would need practical expertise in heat network projects and energy-efficiency advice, with the capacity to provide responsive support across several activities and to adjust recommendations as individual projects produce new findings. The requirement also suits organisations able to work with public-sector clients and provide clear, specialist advice throughout project development and delivery. The selected supplier is a large consultancy, indicating that established project-support capability and sufficient organisational capacity were relevant to this purchase, while the stated suitability for SMEs shows that smaller specialist practices may also be relevant.
