Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Energy Saving Trust Ltd is procuring energy-efficiency and environmental consultancy services to assess applications to Ofgem’s Voluntary Energy Redress Scheme. The work covers reviewing applications from charity and community groups, scoring them, taking assessment notes and, where needed, discussing applications with other assessors. Energy Saving Trust Ltd is based in Edinburgh, and delivery is required across the UK. The requirement is a service rather than the supply of goods or construction works. It is suitable for organisations that can provide structured application assessment and advice relating to energy efficiency, environmental issues, community benefit or charitable funding schemes. The procurement also sits within a wider arrangement for managing the Energy Redress Scheme, which receives applications quarterly from eligible community and voluntary organisations.

The procurement has reached tender: Energy Saving Trust Ltd invited offers through an open procedure, using electronic submission. The estimated value is £400,000. The contract is scheduled to run from 12 October 2026 to 31 March 2027, with the possibility of three further 12-month extensions. It is being established as a framework agreement with up to 20 participants. Bids must be submitted by 12:00 on 17 August 2026; public bid opening and the start of the evaluation period are set for 12:30 that day. Bids must remain valid until 17 November 2026. Evaluation is weighted 70% technical expertise, 10% sustainability and 20% price. Variants are not allowed, submissions must be in English, and electronic invoicing is permitted.

This opportunity suits consultancy firms, energy advisers, environmental specialists and organisations experienced in assessing grant or community funding applications. Suppliers need the technical expertise to interpret energy-efficiency and environmental proposals, apply a consistent scoring approach and produce clear assessment notes. The work also calls for sound judgement and communication skills, because assessors may need to discuss applications with fellow assessors and reach well-supported conclusions. Bidders must provide the names and qualifications of the staff who would perform the contract, so relevant professional experience and a credible delivery team will be important. The sustainability element of the evaluation favours suppliers able to demonstrate responsible environmental and organisational practice. The framework structure may suit providers able to support repeated assessment activity for a national scheme.
