Summary of the contracting process

Calico Homes Limited commissioned ECO4-funded energy-efficiency works to improve the energy performance of 31 of its homes and help reduce residents’ fuel costs. The work is thermal insulation, a building-works requirement aimed at improving the homes rather than supplying a general energy service. The buying organisation is Calico Homes Limited, based in Burnley. The works are for properties in the North West of England. The procurement was organised as a single lot, covering the specified homes. Its focus on a defined group of housing properties makes it relevant to insulation contractors able to deliver energy-efficiency improvements in occupied or residential housing settings.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to ECO Approach Ltd. Calico Homes used a limited competition below the applicable threshold. The contract was signed on 8 July 2026 and runs from 15 July to 1 November 2026. Its awarded gross value is £77,500. The award covers one lot for thermal insulation works to the 31 properties. The published procurement data does not set out a separate scoring formula or detailed evaluation criteria, so the basis on which bids were compared beyond the limited competition route is not described. This is an awarded works contract, rather than an opportunity for suppliers to submit offers on this procurement.

For insulation and retrofit contractors, this award shows Calico Homes buying a focused package of ECO4-funded thermal insulation works across a defined set of residential properties, with the stated aim of improving energy efficiency and reducing fuel costs. A credible competitor for comparable work would need to deliver insulation installations across multiple homes, manage a housing-property work programme and demonstrate that its approach can support the intended efficiency improvements. The award went to a small and medium-sized supplier, showing that this requirement was delivered by a business of that scale. The procurement used limited competition below threshold, so familiarity with competing through a restricted supplier process would also be relevant. The requirement is specifically insulation work for Calico Homes, rather than unrelated energy services or wider construction.
