Summary of the contracting process

The Northern Housing Consortium Ltd is initiating a procurement process titled “Sustainable Energy and Resilience Products Framework 2026,” focusing on the procurement of sustainable energy and resilience products such as batteries and solar panels. This planning stage for a framework agreement is targeted for use within the United Kingdom under the public authority category, particularly sub-central government. The engagement process will commence with a series of meetings during the week of 24th May 2026, allowing suppliers to discuss the framework's intentions and specifications. The engagement meetings are scheduled to be completed by 29th May 2026. These pre-market sessions are opportunities to contribute feedback on the technical aspects and criteria for bidding. A further notice is expected on 15th June 2026, preceding the anticipated contract period start on 15th September 2026.

Companies with expertise in renewable energy and a proven track record in large-scale supply and installation are well-suited for this opportunity. Businesses that can meet the regulatory requirements and engage effectively during the pre-market discussions conducted by NHC will have a competitive edge. The framework encourages collaboration with organisations capable of providing innovative solutions to enhance the resilience and sustainability of energy systems within member housing entities. The procurement method aims to establish a flexible framework that allows various suppliers to showcase their offerings and meet diverse member needs across the UK.
