Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement for the "Contract for the Provision of Energy Performance Certificates for Council Housing" was undertaken by the City & County of Swansea, categorised under "Energy and related services". The contracting process, relevant to various sites across Swansea, UKL18, has reached the award stage as of 20th November 2025. Initially tendered through an open procedure, the procurement invited bids by the 7th December 2023 and followed up with a contract signing on 26th February 2024. This initiative was aimed at providing Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) for both vacant council properties and potentially for private properties to support grant applications. The tender was initiated with a budget allocation of £200,000 and involved detailed evaluation criteria relating to methodology and pricing.

This tender offers a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in energy services, particularly those capable of certifying energy performance and consulting for subsidy qualification. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), like Every Property Certificate Ltd who was awarded the contract, stand to benefit enormously. Such companies can leverage this opportunity to not only secure work but also to solidify their reputation in the energy services market. The open tender nature of the procurement encouraged competitive bidding, providing a platform for businesses focused on energy management to engage actively, especially those equipped to handle electronic submissions and communications as specified in the tender requirements.

Applicants who are unsuccessful shall be informed by the Council as soon as possible after the decision has been made. Should additional information be required it should be requested of the addressee in section I.1). If an appeal regarding the award of the contract has not been successfully resolved, The Public Contracts Regulations 2015 provide for aggrieved parties who have been harmed or are at risk of harm by breach of the rules to take action in the High Court (England, Wales, and Northern Ireland). Any such action must be brought promptly (generally within 30 days). Where a contract has not been entered into, the Court may order the setting aside of the award decision or order the Council to amend any document and may award damages. If the contract has been entered into the Court may, depending on the circumstances, award damages, make a declaration of ineffectiveness, order the Council to pay a civil financial penalty, and/or order that the duration of the contract be shortened. If a declaration of ineffectiveness is sought, any such action must be brought within 30 days where the Council has communicated the award of the contract and a summary of reasons to tenderers, or otherwise within 6 months. The purpose of the standstill period referred to above is to allow the parties to apply to the Courts to set aside the award decision before the contract is entered into.",
