Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Greater London Authority commissioned a technical inspection and testing service acting as an independent Clerk of Works for the Warm Homes Local Grant and Warm Homes Social Housing Fund programmes. The service is intended to verify the design and installation quality of energy-efficiency and low-carbon heating measures, particularly external wall insulation, internal wall insulation and air-source heat pumps, following concerns about insulation failures. It covers reviews of properties delivered through these programmes, including desktop and on-site checks, to provide independent quality assurance and support residents. The work is delivered in London. The procurement is categorised as technical inspection and testing services, with an additional construction-related services classification.

The procurement has reached the award stage. The Greater London Authority selected Baily Garner, and the contract is recorded as active. The contract value is £543,374, signed on 7 September 2026. The route was a limited award without prior publication of a competition, using the Fusion21 Construction Consultancy Services Framework, Lot 13 for Clerk of Works and inspection regimes. The award was evaluated on price, and six bids were recorded for the requirement. The stated review model covered all external and internal wall insulation and air-source heat pump installations, a selection of other properties, and programme-level desktop and on-site reviews. The related lot is recorded as cancelled, while the award remains active.

This procurement indicates demand from the Greater London Authority for independent technical assurance of publicly funded retrofit and low-carbon heating work. A credible future supplier would need practical Clerk of Works and construction inspection capability, with the expertise to assess both design compliance and installation quality for external and internal wall insulation and air-source heat pumps. The requirement also favours organisations able to combine desktop document reviews with proportionate on-site property inspections, sample properties systematically and produce defensible assurance evidence for grant-funded programmes. Experience of energy-efficiency or housing retrofit, understanding of installation risks, and the capacity to review a substantial property portfolio would strengthen a competitor’s position. Access to the relevant consultancy framework route is also commercially important.
