Summary of the contracting process

Devon County Council recently awarded a contract under the Open procedure for the "Retrofit Coordination and Design Services for Warm Homes" project. This contract, valued at £450,000, supports the Warm Homes: Local Grant Programme, a UK Government initiative aimed at improving energy efficiency in homes across Devon. The procurement, which focuses on architectural and engineering services, covers properties with Energy Performance Certificate ratings of D or below. The contract commenced on 22 October 2025 and is scheduled to run until 31 July 2028, with the potential for a two-year extension depending on funding availability. The services will be delivered according to PAS 2035:2023 and PAS 2030:2023 standards.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specializing in energy efficiency and low-carbon solutions, particularly those serving the housing sector. SMEs involved in construction, engineering, and inspection services are well-suited to compete, as the demand for upgrades in poorly performing properties is high. With a target to retrofit around 200 homes, the scheme promises sustained work and the possibility of extensions, encouraging long-term business growth. The localised scope of the tender, encompassing various districts within Devon, offers businesses a chance to strengthen regional ties and expand their market presence in the burgeoning field of sustainable home renovations.
