Summary of the contracting process

Comhairle nan Eilean Siar has awarded a contract to Warmworks for managing the delivery of the Scottish Government's Energy Efficient Scotland Area Based Schemes in the Western Isles. This procurement, classified under energy and related services, is designed to provide energy efficiency improvements to private sector homes, aiming to reduce fuel costs and combat Fuel Poverty during the 2025/26 period. The procurement process for this management service was undertaken through a limited procedure, bypassing the call for competition due to the project's value being below the EU threshold. The contract is active from 2nd April 2019, with all works expected to be completed by the end of May 2026. The program is embedded in the unique geographic and cultural landscape of the Outer Hebrides, highlighting Warmworks' experience in delivering similar schemes in remote rural areas.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses skilled in energy efficiency and project management, particularly those experienced in operating within remote and rural communities. Warmworks’ appointment reflects a demand for companies capable of leveraging Energy Company Obligation funding, cross-referring with supportive Scottish government initiatives like Home Energy Scotland, and engaging with localised energy strategies. Businesses able to offer innovative solutions in publicising schemes and delivering specialised projects within the energy sector may find growth opportunities by aligning themselves with such government-driven initiatives. This creates a fertile ground for enterprises seeking to expand their footprint in the renewable energy services market within the UK.
