Summary of the contracting process

The Bernicia Group has awarded a contract for the installation of heat meters in Rosebrough, as part of their heat network design and build initiative under the CCS Demand Management and Renewable Framework, Lot 4.2. This procurement falls within the heating works industry category and primarily concerns construction work, with Cramlington identified as the delivery location. The award stage marked the culmination of the process with the contract being signed on 20th February 2026. It utilised a limited procurement method, involving an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, and adhered to the directive falling outside typical procurement scopes.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in construction and energy solutions, focusing on heating works or engineering. The procurement, aimed at designing and building a heat network for 48 flats, offers a substantial chance for small to medium enterprises like Switch2 Energy Limited, which was awarded the contract. Entities with expertise in heat network installations or those looking to expand services within sustainable energy solutions would find this contract favourable. While this specific lot was cancelled prior to completion, opportunities may exist within related frameworks and subsequent tenders under similar procurement conditions governed by public law bodies such as Bernicia Group.
