UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Plymouth Community Homes is seeking retrofit consultancy services to support retrofit work delivered by retrofit installers. The consultant will act as contract administrator for one or two measured-term contracts, review the installers’ Retrofit Assessments and recommend any changes, and identify external funding sources, assist with funding applications and support ongoing monitoring returns. Assessment reviews are expected to be mainly desk-based, with a smaller proportion carried out on site. The work is for delivery in the United Kingdom; Plymouth Community Homes is based in Plymouth. The service combines contract administration, technical review of retrofit assessments, and funding advice and monitoring, so it is relevant to consultancies able to cover these linked activities.

The buyer invited offers through an open competitive flexible procedure. The process has reached tender; the stated procedure has an evaluation stage followed, if needed, by clarification or negotiation. Enquiries were due by 6 November 2026 at 12:00, and bids by 25 November 2026 at 12:00. The buyer set an award decision date of 11 December 2026. The contract period is 4 January 2027 to 4 January 2030. There is one lot, with an estimated value of £1,000,000 excluding VAT (£1,200,000 including VAT). Evaluation gives technical quality a 70% weighting and commercial price 30%.

This requirement suits retrofit consultancies with the capacity to administer one or two installer contracts while providing both technical oversight and funding support. Relevant capability includes reviewing retrofit assessments, making recommendations, undertaking a mix of desktop and on-site review, identifying external funding opportunities, preparing or supporting applications, and managing ongoing monitoring returns. Suppliers should be able to work across contract administration and retrofit delivery rather than offering assessment review alone. The stated SME and voluntary, community and social enterprise suitability makes the opportunity relevant to businesses in those groups as well as larger consultancies. Technical quality carries greater evaluation weight than price, so suppliers able to demonstrate strong technical expertise and a credible approach to delivery are well placed to compete.
