Summary of the contracting process

Northamptonshire Partnership Homes procured energy performance certificate assessment services for its housing stock. The requirement covers an EPC backlog project and an ongoing programme of reassessments for residents’ homes and void properties. Suppliers must carry out on-site energy assessments, arrange access with tenants, produce valid certificates and provide tailored energy-efficiency recommendations. Most properties require assessments under the reduced Standard Assessment Procedure (RdSAP); some extensions or conversions may require a full SAP assessment. Certificates and supporting links must be supplied digitally through the buyer’s contractor portal. The work is classified as energy-efficiency consultancy services. Delivery covers Northamptonshire and the wider East Midlands area, including the buyer’s existing properties and unoccupied homes.

The procurement is complete and two active awards were made on 4 September 2026 following an open procedure. Pennington Choices Ltd received one award worth £187,500 excluding VAT (£225,000 including VAT), and Eco Approach Ltd received a separate award on the same terms and value. Both contracts run from 26 September 2026 to 25 September 2028, with an option for a single one-year extension or multiple extensions totalling one year. The estimated tender value was £250,000 excluding VAT (£300,000 including VAT), split between the two providers. Fifteen bids were received, all from SMEs. Price and quality were weighted equally at 50% each. Enquiries closed on 29 May 2026, bids on 15 June 2026 and evaluation on 28 June 2026.

This requirement suits qualified, accredited EPC providers with operational capacity to survey housing at scale and manage both a backlog and recurring reassessments. Credible suppliers need competent RdSAP assessors, with the ability to undertake full SAP assessments where building alterations require them. They also need reliable systems for contacting tenants, arranging access and completing surveys across occupied and void properties. Delivery capability includes using Elmhurst approved software, producing valid certificates, uploading digital outputs through a contractor portal and providing property-specific energy-efficiency recommendations. Experience in social housing or residential property assessment would help a supplier demonstrate an understanding of tenant access, varied dwelling types and consistent evidence-based reporting. The two-provider model also indicates that collaborative delivery and dependable throughput matter.
