Summary of the contracting process

Walsall Council commissioned consultancy services to develop an Energy and Community Resilience Action Plan for Walsall, formally described as a Community Climate Action Plan. The work is delivered with the Walsall Energy Action Project partnership. The plan is intended to identify practical actions that communities can take to mitigate and adapt to climate change, while addressing linked local challenges including high emissions from inefficient homes and transport, fuel poverty, rising energy costs, cold and damp housing, and effects on residents’ health and wellbeing. The requirement covers business and management consultancy and related services (CPV 79400000). It is designed to support communities in moving towards healthier, more energy-efficient lifestyles and to build resilience through coordinated local action.

This procurement has been awarded following a below-threshold open competition. Walsall Council selected SLR CONSULTING LIMITED. The tender deadline was 27 April 2026 at 12:00. There was one lot, and the requirement was assessed with quality, described as non-price, weighted at 90%, and price weighted at 10%. The contract was signed on 21 August 2026. Its recorded contract value is £34,900 excluding VAT, or £41,800 including VAT. The contract period runs from 28 September 2026 to 31 January 2027. The tender’s estimated value was £35,000 excluding VAT, or £42,000 including VAT. The lot was marked complete, while the resulting contract is active. The opportunity was stated to be suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

This award demonstrates demand from Walsall Council for community-focused climate consultancy combining strategic planning with practical delivery at neighbourhood level. Suppliers well placed for a future requirement would need evidence of producing climate action, energy, fuel-poverty or community resilience strategies, and of translating environmental analysis into actions that residents and community organisations can deliver. Credible capability would include understanding inefficient housing, transport emissions, energy costs, health and wellbeing, climate adaptation and mitigation, and the links between these issues. Experience of stakeholder engagement and partnership working would be important, particularly with councils, community groups and local energy initiatives. As quality carried far more weight than price, a strong, locally grounded methodology, clear outputs and evidence of effective community engagement would be central to competing successfully.

Notice Information

Notice Title

W5094 Energy and Community Resilience Action Plan

Notice Description

Walsall Council and the Walsall Energy Action Project (WEAP) partnership are seeking a provider to produce a Community Climate Action Plan for Walsall. The plan will identify actions that can be delivered by communities to mitigate and adapt to climate change at the community level. Residents in Walsall face interconnected challenges linked to climate change and fuel poverty, driven by high emissions from inefficient homes and from transport. These environmental pressures are compounded by wider economic strains, including rising energy costs. This leads to cold, damp living conditions which has a profound impact on residents' health and wellbeing and reduces their ability to take positive action to tackle climate change. Coordinated action is required to build community resilience and support residents in transition to healthier and more energy efficient lifestyles.
