Summary of the contracting process

Erewash Borough Council is seeking a contractor to prepare and present a renewable energy study for its Planning Policy team. The study will form part of the evidence base for a new Local Plan, which the council is preparing under the National Planning Policy Framework 2026. The work is renewable energy consultancy, intended to help inform local planning policy. The buying organisation is Erewash Borough Council, based in Ilkeston. The requirement is for the study and its presentation, rather than for energy infrastructure or installation work.

The council invited offers through an open competition below the procurement threshold. The enquiry deadline was 17 November 2026 at 12:00, and the submission deadline was 27 November 2026 at 12:00. The contract period is 21 December 2026 to 31 March 2027. The estimated value is £40,000 excluding VAT (£48,000 including VAT). The procurement is a single lot. Offers are evaluated equally on price and quality, each weighted at 50%.

The opportunity is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. It is relevant to consultancies able to prepare a renewable energy study and present its findings for use in local-plan evidence gathering. The work has a defined, focused output: a study for the council’s Planning Policy team, with findings intended to inform its Local Plan. Suppliers should judge their fit against their ability to deliver both the study and its presentation. The procurement does not set out specific accreditations, staffing levels or experience thresholds in the information provided here.
