Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process led by SALIX Finance Ltd, a public authority within the central government based in London, United Kingdom, focuses on auditing decarbonisation works. This tender, titled "Audit of Decarbonisation Works," falls under the services category and employs a selective procurement method through a competitive flexible procedure. The initiative ultimately awards three separate contracts, each worth up to 33.33% of audit services. The procurement stage concluded with the award on 16 April 2026, with contracts set to begin on 26 May 2026 and potentially extend to 27 May 2030, featuring two optional twelve-month renewal periods. The tender targets areas across the UK, aligning with energy-efficiency and building-inspection services within industry standards.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses focused on energy consultancy and audit services, largely appealing to large-scale suppliers with the technical capability for energy efficiency and building services. Businesses equipped with qualifications that meet high technical specifications, especially SMEs, can leverage this opportunity to gain market share in the burgeoning decarbonisation sector. Participation involves a two-stage procedure, allowing the top-scoring suppliers from initial qualifications to submit final responses, with awards based on a balanced assessment of quality and cost. These contracts signify growth avenues through collaboration with a central governmental body to advance decarbonisation efforts across the UK.
