Summary of the contracting process

Platform Housing Limited is seeking suppliers to carry out Energy Performance Certificate assessments for its properties across three Midlands localities. The work covers assessments under current regulations and, once it takes effect, the Home Energy Model (HEM). Severn covers Worcestershire, Herefordshire and Gloucestershire; Tame covers Derbyshire, most of Leicestershire, the West Midlands, Warwickshire and Staffordshire; Witham covers Lincolnshire, a small part of Leicestershire, Rutland and Northamptonshire. Each locality includes two groups of properties: priority 1 and priority 2, with further property-level details in the tender documents. The procurement is for energy-efficiency assessment and related consultancy services (CPV 71314300).

The buyer invited offers through an open competitive flexible procedure, with electronic submissions through Platform Housing Group’s Proactis e-tendering system. The tender submission deadline was 2 November 2026 at 14:00 UTC; the stated evaluation and award decision date was 30 November 2026. The anticipated contract start is 1 January 2027. The initial term is two years, with two optional 12-month extensions if the required stock is not completed. There are three geographical lots, each valued at £320,000 net (£400,000 gross). Suppliers may bid for multiple localities but can be awarded only one; each locality is evaluated separately. Quality carries 65% of the score and cost 35%.

The opportunity suits energy assessors able to deliver assessments across the relevant counties and manage a substantial, phased property workload. Suppliers must lodge every EPC exclusively through Elmhurst Energy or ECMK; other accreditation bodies are not accepted. The buyer expects the majority of assessments to be delivered using the supplier’s own staff, with freelance or subcontracted assessors kept to a minimum and used only where necessary to meet programme requirements or internal capacity is unavailable. Small and medium-sized businesses are considered suitable. Each locality is competed independently, so suppliers can focus bids on the area that best fits their geographic coverage and delivery resources; no supplier can hold more than one locality.
