The process is currently in the tender stage, with the final date for submissions set for 21st November 2025, and enquiries closing on 14th November 2025. This procurement process, worth up to £840,000, is aimed at awarding three separate contracts to audit decarbonisation works across various regions throughout the United Kingdom. The tender invites energy-efficiency and building-inspection consultancy services and will use a competitive flexible procedure with an open procurement method. Interested suppliers must engage through the Atamis e-procurement portal, with successful contract fulfilment spanning from April 2026 to April 2029.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses with technical expertise in energy efficiency and auditing services.

The selection process involves a two-stage competitive procedure, where the top five suppliers will be shortlisted and required to submit a final tender response. This approach not only opens the field for diverse market participation but also ensures that the selected suppliers are capable of managing demanding projects effectively, ultimately driving growth for well-prepared consultancy firms.
