Summary of the contracting process

Torus62 Limited commissioned building retrofit works to improve energy efficiency across 75 of its properties in St Helens and Warrington. The homes were identified as below Energy Performance Certificate band C. The programme combines energy-efficiency upgrades, including insulation work, with measures to reduce space-heating demand and address minor structural and building-condition issues found in pre-surveys. The intended outcome is safer, compliant, more energy-efficient homes, supporting the buyer’s decarbonisation objectives and the long-term viability of its housing stock. The work is part of the WH:SHF Wave 3 Retrofit Programme.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Next Energy. The award date was 14 January 2026, at a value of £984,371. The contract period runs from 27 July to 23 October 2026. The tender submission deadline was 26 November 2025. The procurement was classified as works. No lots or evaluation criteria are recorded in the process details, so the award information establishes the selected supplier and outcome but does not explain how bids were assessed.

For a future requirement from Torus62 Limited, a credible competitor would need to deliver energy-efficiency retrofit works across a group of occupied or existing homes, combining insulation and heating-demand reduction with the ability to address minor structural and building-condition issues identified before work starts. The programme demonstrates demand for coordinated delivery across properties in St Helens and Warrington, rather than a single-home project. Suppliers should be able to show that they can make homes safer and compliant while improving their energy performance, and manage a programme of this scale. The selected contractor was an SME, although this procurement was marked as unsuitable for SMEs.

Notice Title

GB-Merseyside: SHF Retrofit Programme Wave 3 Phase 1

Notice Description

The WH:SHF Wave 3 Retrofit Programme has been developed to address energy-efficiency failings within 75 Torus properties across St Helens and Warrington. These properties were identified through asset data and stock condition information, which confirms that they currently fall below EPC Band C. The objective of the programme is to improve energy-efficiency, reduce space heating demand, and support compliance with Torus' 2030 decarbonisation objectives. In addition to efficiency upgrades, the programme will address minor structural and building condition issues identified during presurveys, ensuring that each property is made safe, compliant, and energy efficient. The programme aligns with national WH:SHF funding aims and contributes to long-term stock viability.
