Summary of the contracting process

Cheshire East Borough Council procured domestic energy retrofit works for homes in England. The requirement covers building construction work associated with improving domestic properties through energy retrofit measures. The work is categorised as works and is intended for delivery across England. The council is the buying organisation and is based at Westfields, Middlewich Road, Sandbach. The procurement concerns the delivery of the retrofit works rather than the supply of standalone products or consultancy. Businesses operating in domestic building construction, housing improvement and energy-efficiency refurbishment may therefore find the requirement relevant, particularly those able to manage and deliver works across multiple residential properties for a local authority.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following an open procedure. Bids closed on 19 March 2026 at 12:00 UTC, and the award was made on 29 April 2026. Community Home Solutions was selected for a contract worth £14,400,000. The contract period runs from 16 June 2026 to 31 March 2028. The tender was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. Evaluation was conducted through the open procedure for a works contract covering domestic energy retrofit. The award is active and relates to the full requirement; no separate lots or multiple awarded suppliers are identified.

This award gives construction and retrofit businesses a clear indication of Cheshire East Borough Council’s demand for domestic energy-efficiency improvement work and its use of an open procurement route. Competitors preparing for a future requirement would need to demonstrate credible delivery of domestic building and retrofit works, with the operational capacity to work across residential properties in England. The successful supplier was a large organisation, indicating that the buyer accepted a provider able to manage a substantial local-authority delivery programme. However, the requirement was expressly suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, so smaller or socially focused providers with strong project management, site delivery and housing refurbishment capability may also be well placed to compete when relevant work returns.
