UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, initiated by LiveWest Homes Limited, based in Exeter, sought to secure retrofit consultancy and principal designer services, reflecting the company's strategic initiative aimed at enhancing energy efficiency in their properties. Defined under the competitive flexible procedure, this procurement was designed to appoint a retrofit consultant and a principal designer, aiming for LiveWest properties to achieve an EPC rating of C by 2028. The industry categories involved included architectural, engineering, and related services, with a focus on building and energy sectors, and the procurement process was conducted online with key deadlines, including the tender period set to end on 20 February 2026. Unfortunately, the procurement was ultimately cancelled as of 13 July 2026, after the award status was marked as cancelled, affecting lots 1 and 2.

This tender presented a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in retrofit consultancy and design services, particularly those with capabilities in delivering sustainable energy solutions and architectural planning. It created potential openings for SMEs and community-driven enterprises, as both Lots showed a preference for them, ensuring broad participation. While the cancellation terminates immediate opportunities, such procurement processes typically lay groundwork for similar future endeavours, encouraging firms to remain engaged with LiveWest. Any business positioning itself for energy efficiency objectives and innovative consultancy services may find prospective engagements highly beneficial for growth and expanding market opportunities in the UK regional markets targeted by LiveWest Homes Limited.
