UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process titled "Retrofit Consultancy & Principal Designer Services Framework" was initiated by Advantage South West, a public authority under the sub-central government category located in Yeovil, United Kingdom. The framework sought to engage services within the architectural, engineering, and construction industries in the UK South West region, with the procurement method being an open, competitive flexible procedure. The tender, identified as DN804023, was in its planning and tender stages before it concluded with a completed status by 13th July 2026. However, the associated tender cancellation notice was published on the same date, indicating a halt in proceeding with the awarding phase that was initially slated to conclude on 1st April 2026.

This procurement initiative presented expansive business opportunities for SMBs and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) sectors. It was an inviting opportunity for firms proficient in architectural, engineering, energy, and building services, aiming to join a framework engaging with clients like LiveWest. The framework was structured to accommodate six successful bidders, providing a four-year period of ongoing opportunities through both direct awards and mini-competitions. Businesses poised to deliver retrofit consultancy and principal designing services specifically stood to benefit from the framework’s substantial budget, estimated at £13.4 million net with a gross allocation of approximately £16.08 million, facilitating infrastructure improvements to meet energy performance goals by 2028.
