Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process titled "Warm Homes Wave 3 Property Upgrades" was initiated by East Suffolk Council, specifically Suffolk Coastal District Council and Waveney District Council. This project, funded by the Department of Energy, Security and Net Zero (DESNZ), involves domestic retrofitting, classified under construction work for houses. The procurement falls within the works industry category and will be conducted in the East of England, United Kingdom. The contract, valued at £10,000,000, was awarded on 16th January 2026, with the contracting process having commenced under a selective procurement method via a call-off from the Fusion 21 Decarbonisation Framework. The contract period spans from 7th October 2025 to 7th October 2028.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses, particularly those involved in construction, electrical installation, insulation, and refurbishment work. With a contract value of £10,000,000, this project can significantly contribute to business growth, especially for enterprises that have proven expertise in building and property upgrades. While the suitability criteria for SMEs and VCSEs might be restrictive, large-scale operations like Bell Group UK Limited, which secured the contract, will benefit from collaborative projects under such frameworks. Businesses centred around sustainability and energy-efficient home refurbishments would be particularly well-suited for competing in similar future tender opportunities within the region.
