Summary of the contracting process

Prosper, acting for Believe, procured decarbonisation and building works under the “Believe – SHF Wave 3 Works” requirement. The work covers installation of air-source heat pumps and solar photovoltaic systems, together with associated building installation and completion work. Delivery is across the North East of England. This is a works contract for a contractor able to manage energy-efficiency improvements as a coordinated construction programme, rather than a supply-only opportunity. Prosper Procurement Ltd managed the procurement on behalf of the contracting body, with the requirement linked to Believe. The scope is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, making it relevant to established regional building services, renewable energy and decarbonisation contractors with the ability to deliver installation and associated finishing works.

The procurement has been awarded through a direct award under the Decarbonisation & Investment Works Framework, reference DN762948. The award was made on 12 August 2026 to Buston and Maughan Limited for £1,700,000 including the stated currency of GBP. The awarded contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 March 2028. The procurement was evaluated and concluded through the framework’s direct-award route rather than an open competition for this individual requirement. The tender submission deadline was 11 August 2026 at 23:59. The award is active and the tender is complete. Prosper is identified as the buyer and managing organisation, acting for Believe.

This award demonstrates demand for contractors that can combine decarbonisation expertise with practical building delivery across the North East. A credible competitor for a future requirement from this buyer would need proven capability in air-source heat-pump and solar PV installation, together with the wider building installation, completion and making-good work needed around those systems. Relevant firms are likely to be established SMEs able to coordinate multiple trades, manage site delivery and maintain quality across a substantial programme. Experience of public-sector or framework-based contracting would help, particularly the ability to operate within a direct-award or call-off environment. Businesses should be able to evidence competent delivery teams, suitable project management, health and safety controls, and reliable supply-chain capacity for energy retrofit works.
