Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, commissioned by Uttlesford District Council, involved the supply of major components for the Social Housing Decarbonisation project. This contract aimed to procure construction materials necessary for retrofitting 276 rural properties to meet Energy Performance Certificate standard C. As of 17 July 2026, the process reached the award stage and was completed via a limited procurement method, undertaken without prior publication of a call for competition. The awarded contract, valued at £2,100,000, was signed on 3 November 2025. City Electrical Factors Ltd was selected as the supplier, with deliveries focused in the UKH3 region, specifically within the construction materials industry category.

This tender presents substantial business growth opportunities, especially for enterprises specialising in sustainable construction materials and retrofitting solutions. Given the nature of the project and the procurement process, large-scale suppliers with the capability to meet high-volume demands efficiently would be particularly well-positioned to participate in similar future tenders. The focus on energy efficiency upgrades marks a significant trend towards sustainability in public housing projects, offering rich opportunities for businesses keen on engaging in government-funded environmental initiatives.
