Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process led by Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council, originally titled "SOL - Your Future Chelmsley Wood & Building Retrofit Pilot 2025", has faced a recent update as of 27th November 2025. The project, initially open for competition, was cancelled due to a change in the scope of services required, resulting in the decision to utilise an existing contractual arrangement. The process initially engaged service providers for resident engagement and energy retrofit services within the Chelmsley Wood area of Solihull, under the larger framework of the West Midlands Combined Authority's "Building Retrofit Pilot". This open-competition procurement was set as a Below Threshold tender with its submissions due by 21st July 2025, and the services were expected to commence from 22nd September 2025.

This tender, valued at approximately £210,000 (gross), presented an opportunity primarily for SMEs capable of delivering services in energy-efficiency, architectural, construction, and engineering domains. Companies with expertise in residential engagement and retrofit services stood to benefit from joining this initiative aimed at improving energy efficiency for private homes in Solihull. Despite the cancellation, this engagement highlighted the ongoing interest and demand within the sector for transformative energy solutions, offering insight into opportunities for firms to prepare and align their strategies for future tenders in similar projects. Businesses that focus on sustainable energy solutions, particularly those with experience in executing local grant schemes and collaborating with public authorities, would have been ideal candidates for this contracting opportunity.
