Summary of the contracting process

On 3rd March 2026, Oxfordshire County Council awarded a contract to Chamberlains Aqua & Energy Systems Ltd. for the 'School Sustainability Support, Action on Carbon and Energy in Schools (ACES) programme.' This procurement process concluded under the open competition method, targeting services related to environmental consultancy for schools to aid in carbon emission reduction. Located in Oxford, the council engaged a sub-central government public authority to facilitate this initiative. The initial contract is scheduled from 3rd March 2026 to 2nd March 2027, with potential for a 12-month extension. The procurement falls under the Sewage, refuse, cleaning, and environmental services category and continues to build upon previous groundwork by Oxfordshire County Council.

This tender offers substantial growth opportunities, especially for consultancies focusing on sustainable practices and environmental services. Given the nature of the work, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in energy management could find this contract particularly advantageous. The project's emphasis on sustainability consultancy to Oxfordshire schools presents a chance for businesses adept in climate change education and engagement strategies to significantly contribute. Businesses with a strong track record in reducing energy costs and emissions through innovative approaches will find themselves well-positioned to compete. The partnership with Oxfordshire County Council could solidify a firm’s reputation in environmental consultancy and foster further collaborations in public sector projects.
