UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Derbyshire Dales District Council procured a technical energy adviser service for residents across Derbyshire Dales. The service provides a one-stop source of support for home energy-efficiency retrofits, covering the resident’s journey from initial enquiry through installation and aftercare. Work includes online retrofit consultations, with further advice delivered in residents’ homes, online or by telephone where needed, together with tailored guidance and resources. This is a public service and energy-efficiency consultancy requirement, including community and personal support services. Businesses with expertise in domestic retrofit, energy-efficiency advice and resident-facing support would find the requirement relevant. The council is based in Matlock, and delivery is in the Derbyshire Dales area.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Marches Energy Advice. The council used a direct award below the applicable threshold and without competition. The contract was signed and began on 26 August 2026, with an initial end date of 5 August 2027. It has a maximum extent to 5 August 2030, with an option to extend for three further years in annual increments, subject to satisfactory performance and business needs. The awarded value is £63,602 excluding VAT, or £76,322.40 including VAT. There was one completed lot and one active award. The published information describes the service requirement and direct-award route, but gives no separate quality, price or other evaluation weighting.

This award indicates demand for a resident-facing retrofit advice service that can support people throughout the full home energy-efficiency journey, rather than providing a single technical assessment. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need practical knowledge of domestic retrofit and energy-efficiency measures, the ability to carry out consultations online, and the capacity to provide advice in residents’ homes and by telephone. It would also need to produce tailored guidance, support residents through installation, and provide effective aftercare. The successful supplier is an SME and a voluntary, community or social enterprise, showing that the council has used a delivery model compatible with organisations combining technical advice with community support. Experience engaging residents and coordinating advice across multiple channels would therefore be relevant.
