Summary of the contracting process

City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council is commissioning a district-wide Warm Homes Healthy People service across Bradford. The service will operate year-round to support residents vulnerable to the health effects of cold homes, excess heat, damp, mould and fuel poverty. Work includes targeted fuel poverty and energy advice, practical interventions, energy efficiency measures, income-maximisation support, outreach and referrals. The purpose is to improve health outcomes and reduce health inequalities by identifying and supporting eligible households. The provider will work with Bradford Council, NHS partners, voluntary, community and faith organisations, utility providers and other stakeholders. This is a health and social work service, delivered throughout the Bradford metropolitan district, with the council as the buying organisation.

The procurement has reached tender: the council invited offers through a single-lot open procedure, with electronic submission allowed and an electronic auction used. Questions had to be submitted by 3 August 2026 at 16:00, and offers by 19 August 2026 at 11:00. The evaluation is based entirely on quality, weighted at 100%. The contract is due to run from 1 December 2026 to 31 March 2029, with options to renew for 12 months plus a further 12 months, potentially extending to 31 March 2031. Its estimated value is £1,841,666.67 excluding VAT, or £2,210,000 including VAT. The award decision is due by 21 September 2026. The service is subject to the light-touch regime and is above the relevant threshold.

This opportunity suits organisations experienced in delivering fuel poverty support, energy advice, housing-related support, public health, wellbeing, community outreach or comparable services to vulnerable people and households. Providers need the legal capacity and financial standing to deliver the service, with financial assessment potentially covering audited or management accounts, turnover and other relevant information. The successful organisation must hold, or commit to obtaining before the service starts, appropriate employer’s liability, public liability and professional indemnity insurance. Strong partnership working, community engagement, safeguarding, information governance and data protection capabilities are important. Bidders should also be able to recruit and retain suitably qualified staff, deliver targeted referrals and interventions, manage performance against targets and key performance indicators, maintain business continuity and manage service and financial risks. Small and medium-sized businesses and voluntary, community and social enterprises are considered suitable.
