UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Oxfordshire County Council intends to appoint a delivery partner for Warm Homes: Local Grant, its fully grant-funded capital programme for home energy retrofit. The requirement is for construction project management services supporting the delivery of residential energy-efficiency improvements. Work will be delivered in Oxfordshire. The council is the public-sector buyer and will manage the procurement. The planned service is structured as one contract covering the programme’s delivery-partner role, rather than separate supply packages. Businesses involved in retrofit programme management, construction project coordination, housing energy improvement delivery or related grant-funded public programmes should consider this procurement relevant. The work concerns services rather than the direct supply of building materials or individual retrofit installations.

This procurement is at the planning stage: the council has stated its intention to procure, but this is not an invitation to tender. It expects to use an open procedure for one lot. The estimated value is £1,768,000 excluding VAT, or £2,210,000 including VAT. The planned contract period is 23 November 2026 to 22 November 2036. The council expects to publish the next notice on 14 August 2026, with the tender process expected to close on 23 September 2026 and an award decision expected by 23 October 2026. Preliminary market engagement is planned through a questionnaire, with responses sought by 27 July 2026. Evaluation is weighted 70% quality, 10% social value and 20% price.

The planned contract is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. It should suit organisations able to act as a delivery partner for a public home-energy retrofit programme, combining construction project management with the coordination of grant-funded residential improvement activity. Relevant preparation may include demonstrating experience managing retrofit or construction programmes, coordinating contractors and stakeholders, controlling delivery across multiple homes, and meeting public-sector reporting and governance requirements. Experience of administering or delivering grant-funded programmes and working with households, housing providers or community organisations would be commercially relevant. Suppliers should prepare evidence focused on service quality and social value, since these together account for 80% of the proposed evaluation weighting. There is no stated accreditation requirement in the published planning information.
