Summary of the contracting process

Freebridge Community Housing, a sub-central government public authority based in King's Lynn, United Kingdom, has concluded an open procurement process under the "EPC Project" title in the energy and related services sector. The tender involved securing a provider for full scheduling, assessment, and lodgement of EPC services, ultimately aimed at delivering a complete and fully functional asset. The procurement process was open, falling below the threshold and involved open competition. The contract, valued at £200,000, was awarded to Crawford & Co Surveyors Ltd, and is set to run from 3rd June 2026 to 2nd June 2029. The procurement adhered to the legal framework established by UKPGA 2023/54 and was completed with associated activities finalized by 16th June 2026.

This project presents significant growth opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in energy efficiency consultancy and building surveying services. The procurement was structured to assess both price and several qualitative factors, including quality management and continuous improvement, which positions firms with robust quality assurance systems favourably. With a strong focus on delivering services that comply with stringent standards and regulations, companies with expertise in energy and building services, particularly those already familiar with the UK market, would find this an advantageous opportunity to expand their service delivery and client base.
