Summary of the contracting process

The EPC Assessments Residential contract was awarded by Ipswich Borough Council, a sub-central government public authority, located at Grafton House, Ipswich, UK. The procurement focused on energy-management services within the residential domain, and the process progressed through an open competition method, classified below the threshold. The tender stage featured an active submission period that concluded on 15th October 2025 for bids, with an earlier date of 8th October 2025 for clarification queries. Following the submission period, the contract was awarded on 5th March 2026 to Compliance 100, a UK-based SME. The contract, valued at £137,312.00, started on the same date, with a completion span of one year and a potential extension for an additional 12 months.

This procurement presented a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in energy efficiency and consultancy services, particularly those adept at conducting EPC surveys. Given Ipswich Borough Council's open procurement method, the tender was ideal for SMEs seeking to establish or expand their presence in the local government service sector. The contract scope, covering an EPC survey in approximately 3,000 residential properties, implies considerable business growth potential for firms with the capability to deliver large-scale energy efficiency assessments. Businesses with expertise and competitive pricing in this area were well-suited to compete, capitalising on the chance to partner with a public authority like Ipswich Borough Council.
