Summary of the contracting process

Transport for London (TfL), acting for the Greater London Authority (GLA), is buying resident-support services for the Warm Homes Local Grant programme. The service is intended to help vulnerable, digitally excluded and harder-to-reach residents in London access domestic energy-efficiency and low-carbon heating improvements. Work may include community outreach, individual casework, helping residents navigate programme communications and assessment or installation stages, referrals to other services, and reporting and evaluation. The programme’s retrofit delivery and identification of applicants remain the responsibility of the GLA and its delivery partners. Delivery is divided across four geographical areas: Barnet, Camden, Enfield, Haringey and Islington; west London boroughs including Brent, Ealing, Hounslow and Westminster; central and south-west boroughs including Lambeth, Southwark and Wandsworth; and east and south-east boroughs including Hackney, Newham, Bromley and Lewisham.

The GLA invited offers through an open procedure under the light-touch regime. The procurement is divided into four geographical lots, and suppliers may bid for one or more, but can be awarded no more than two. The published submission deadline was 29 October 2026 at 12:00 noon; the stated end of the award period is 7 December 2026. Contracts are scheduled to run from 4 January 2027 to 31 March 2028, with an option to extend by up to a further three years, potentially to 31 March 2031. The total estimated value is £1,672,427.70 excluding VAT (£2,006,913.24 including VAT). Lot values excluding VAT are £298,515.16, £463,256.92, £378,108.81 and £532,546.81 respectively. Price carries 30% of the evaluation and quality 70%, covering resident-centred delivery, local delivery capacity, case management and reporting, resilience and mobilisation.

This opportunity is suited to community energy groups, social-support providers and other organisations able to work directly with vulnerable residents and build trust with people who may be digitally excluded or difficult to reach. Suppliers will need to offer a resident-centred approach, provide tailored casework and support people through programme communications, assessments, installation and completion, with appropriate signposting and referrals. Strong local knowledge and delivery capacity in the chosen boroughs are important, alongside effective case-management, reporting and performance-monitoring arrangements. Bidders should also be able to demonstrate risk management, service resilience and credible mobilisation plans. Small and medium-sized businesses and voluntary, community and social enterprises are identified as suitable. The four-area structure allows bids for selected local footprints, although an organisation may receive awards for no more than two lots. The stated selection assessment covers economic and technical criteria.
