Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Uttlesford District Council procured major construction materials for a Social Housing Decarbonisation Fund project. The materials support the retrofit of 276 rural properties to achieve a minimum Energy Performance Certificate rating of C. This is a goods requirement focused on the supply and distribution of components needed for domestic energy-efficiency improvements, rather than the retrofit installation works themselves. Delivery is associated with the Essex area. The requirement was arranged through the Efficiency East Midlands framework for the delivery of the Social Housing Decarbonisation Fund, Wave 2. It therefore suits businesses supplying construction, electrical or other retrofit components at sufficient scale for a multi-property housing improvement programme.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded. It used a limited procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, with the award made through the EEM0072 Supply and Distribution of Materials Framework. The requirement was evaluated on price. The single lot was recorded as cancelled, but an active award was made to City Electrical Factors Ltd. The contract value is £2,100,000 including the stated currency of GBP, and the contract was signed on 3 November 2025. One bid was recorded. The contracting authority is Uttlesford District Council. The procurement was covered by the Government Procurement Agreement, and the stated rationale was that the award was made via the existing framework and fell outside the scope of the relevant directive.

This procurement indicates substantial demand from Uttlesford District Council for coordinated materials supply supporting social-housing decarbonisation. A credible future competitor would need dependable distribution of construction and retrofit components, the capacity to serve a programme covering hundreds of rural homes, and the operational systems to fulfil repeated or sizeable material requirements. Experience of supplying public-sector or housing retrofit programmes would help demonstrate reliability, product knowledge and delivery control. Familiarity with framework purchasing is particularly relevant, because the council used the Efficiency East Midlands supply and distribution framework rather than an openly advertised competition. Price competitiveness was decisive here, so suppliers would also need efficient sourcing, transparent pricing and the financial and logistical capacity expected of a large-scale materials distributor.
