Summary of the contracting process

Northumberland County Council bought damp monitoring devices for its Warmer Homes team. The devices support evaluation of insulation and other energy-efficiency measures being installed in council housing through the Warm Homes: Social Housing Fund project. This is a goods requirement, with the associated classification covering heating equipment. Delivery is in Northumberland. The purpose is to monitor damp and assess whether the retrofit measures are effective, rather than to deliver the insulation or wider energy-efficiency works themselves. Suppliers operating in environmental monitoring, building performance, housing technology or related equipment supply may therefore find this requirement relevant, particularly where their products can collect reliable evidence about damp conditions in occupied social housing.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a direct below-threshold procedure without competition. EYESEA GREEN LIMITED was selected for the single lot, with an award recorded as active. The award date was 8 May 2025 and the contract was signed on that date. The active contract runs from 1 June 2025 to 31 May 2028. Its gross value is £212,000. The contract covers damp monitoring devices for the council’s housing retrofit evaluation work. The procurement was treated as a goods purchase and the contracting route was direct award without competition, rather than an open tender. The successful supplier is a Cambridge-based small or medium-sized enterprise.

This award shows that Northumberland County Council has a substantial, multi-year requirement for equipment that can monitor damp and help evaluate the performance of housing energy-efficiency measures. A credible future competitor would need dependable monitoring devices, suitable for deployment across council housing, together with the operational capacity to supply and support them at programme scale. Relevant experience could include damp assessment, building or indoor-environment monitoring, heating-related equipment, energy-efficiency evaluation or technology used in social housing. Suppliers should be able to explain how their equipment produces useful evidence about retrofit outcomes and supports consistent monitoring across properties. The route used here also indicates that the council has previously sourced this requirement through a below-threshold direct purchase.
