Summary of the contracting process

Plymouth Community Homes sought building energy-efficiency consultancy and surveying services for its residential properties in Plymouth. The work comprised completing retrofit assessments, producing Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs), and preparing detailed specifications of works intended to bring the properties to EPC C. The requirement combined energy assessment with building consultancy and surveying, supporting decisions about the improvement works needed across the homes. The programme was structured as a single package covering this scope, rather than separate lots. The buyer was Plymouth Community Homes.

The buyer invited offers through an open competition, and the process has since been discontinued. Plymouth Community Homes says it reviewed its strategic approach to residential stock management and decided to combine the retrofit assessments and works specifications into a larger future contract covering its entire residential estate. The tender set an enquiry deadline of 19 June 2026 at 11:00 and a bid deadline of 3 July 2026 at 11:00. The planned contract period was 24 July 2026 to 31 March 2027. The estimated value was £84,000 excluding VAT (£100,800 including VAT). Evaluation weighted technical quality at 30% and commercial considerations at 70%.

The requirement suited consultancies and building-surveying firms able to assess residential properties for retrofit, produce EPCs and translate findings into detailed, property-specific specifications of improvement works. Suppliers needed to bring expertise across energy efficiency and residential building assessment, with the ability to connect assessment findings to practical measures aimed at achieving EPC C. The scope called for a coordinated service spanning surveying, energy consultancy and specification writing, making it relevant to firms able to deliver those capabilities together or assemble them through a delivery team. The buyer’s decision to aggregate the work into a future contract covering its whole residential estate points to a broader, estate-wide requirement in that subsequent procurement.
