Summary of the contracting process

The Crown Estate procured energy-efficiency consultancy services for its urban property portfolio. The appointed consultant is expected to deliver Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs), provide strategic advice on Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES) and related de-risking, oversee implementation of the EPC programme, and manage associated energy-performance data. This is a professional services requirement covering the Crown Estate’s urban assets across England, including London, the South East, South West, East of England, East Midlands, West Midlands, Yorkshire and the North of England. The work combines property energy assessment, regulatory compliance advice, programme management and data management rather than construction or physical building works. The Crown Estate is the public-sector buyer and central government authority responsible for the requirement.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following an open procedure. Eight bids were received, with six reaching the final stage, including three from SMEs. Energy & Compliance Technology Ltd was awarded the contract on 6 July 2026. The award value is £225,000 excluding VAT (£270,000 including VAT). The original tender value was £300,000 excluding VAT (£360,000 including VAT). The awarded contract was signed on 16 September 2026 and runs from 16 September 2026 to 15 September 2029, with two possible one-year extensions to 15 September 2031. The tender deadline was 14 January 2026 and the planned award-period end date was 1 March 2026. Evaluation weighted quality at 60%, commercial terms at 30% and social value at 10%.

This award demonstrates demand from The Crown Estate for a single supplier able to combine EPC delivery with strategic MEES compliance advice, energy-efficiency risk management, programme implementation and energy-performance data handling across a geographically broad urban property portfolio. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need qualified personnel and robust processes for producing EPCs at portfolio scale, interpreting and applying MEES requirements, identifying compliance risks, and turning findings into a managed delivery programme. Strong data governance and reporting would be important, including the ability to maintain reliable energy-performance information and produce MEES risk reporting. The evaluation places greatest emphasis on quality, followed by commercial value and social value, so technical delivery capability and a clear approach to wider benefits would matter alongside price. SMEs were eligible and three reached the final stage.
