Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, initiated by the Liverpool City Region Combined Authority, is titled "Community Energy Programme England" and falls under the services category with a focus on community, social, and personal services (CPV code 98000000). Located in Liverpool, UK, the project is managed by the North West Net Zero Hub and sponsored by the Department of Energy Security and Net Zero. The tender process is now complete, having progressed through a limited competition method below the threshold. The main activity concluded with the signing of a contract on 22nd July 2026, with the contract period running until 28th February 2027. The task involves evaluating applications for community energy and local government grant programmes, alongside finalising relevant documentation for local and community renewable energy initiatives.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses proficient in technical and business assessments within the energy sector, particularly those with experience in renewable energy projects. Given the requirement for swift contract uptake and capacity to deliver in a short timescale, small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with proven expertise in offering advisory services in energy and sustainability sectors, similar to the awarded supplier, REGEN SW, are ideally positioned to benefit. Such businesses can leverage these opportunities to expand their portfolio in energy consultancy and project development, facilitating growth and diversification in the evolving energy market.
