Summary of the contracting process

ACIVICO (DESIGN, CONSTRUCTION AND FACILITIES MANAGEMENT) LIMITED procured mechanical engineering consultancy services for energy audits, feasibility work and decarbonisation surveys. The requirement covers a diverse property portfolio, identifying energy inefficiencies and developing practical carbon-reduction strategies, retrofit plans, investment pathways and evidence to support access to relevant funding. The work also supports measurable carbon savings and compliance with changing regulations, with recommendations tailored to each property's operational context. It is a specialist engineering and building-services consultancy requirement, covering consultative engineering and design services for mechanical and electrical installations in buildings. The services are delivered across properties in the Birmingham area, for Acivico's internal teams and property portfolio.

This completed procurement used a selective competitive flexible procedure to establish a single-supplier, closed framework without reopening competition. It had one lot. Expressions of interest were due by 8 October 2025 at 3pm, and four bids were received, including two from SMEs. The contract was awarded to E3 CUBE LTD on 5 May 2026. The estimated tender value was £1,200,000 excluding VAT, or £1,440,000 including VAT. The reported award and contract value was £1,200,000. The award contract period was 19 May 2026 to 18 May 2030; the contract was signed on 19 June 2026 and its recorded contract period runs from 19 June 2026 to 18 June 2030. Evaluation was based on price at 40% and quality at 60%.

This requirement indicates demand from Acivico for a specialist partner able to deliver energy and decarbonisation audits across a complex property portfolio. A credible competitor would need mechanical and electrical building-services expertise, strong energy-audit and feasibility capabilities, and experience translating survey evidence into practical retrofit and carbon-reduction plans. The work calls for recommendations that are cost-effective, measurable and suited to each property's operational context, alongside clear investment pathways and support for accessing relevant funding. Suppliers should also be able to work closely with internal client teams, understand the built environment's carbon impact and keep recommendations aligned with evolving regulations. The previous competition attracted four bids, showing that both established specialists and capable SMEs may compete.
