Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Government is seeking an external service provider to develop the final Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) Wrapper for Scotland, together with related technical infrastructure. This is a professional energy and building-services information technology project, classified under energy-efficiency and energy-management services (CPV 71314000). The work concerns a Scottish domestic EPC Wrapper, intended to support the handling of Energy Performance Certificate information and associated technical systems. The Scottish Government is the buying organisation and the service is to be delivered for Scotland. The requirement is presented as a single package rather than separate workstreams, so suppliers should be able to provide the development capability and technical infrastructure needed for the complete solution.

The procurement has reached tender: the Scottish Government invited offers through an open procedure, with electronic submission. The deadline for bids and the scheduled bid opening were both 9 October 2026 at 12:00 UTC. The evaluation gives 70% weighting to technical quality and 30% to price. The initial contract period is 180 days, with an option for the Scottish Government to extend it by a further six months at its discretion. Variants are not permitted, and bids must be submitted in English. The tender requires bidders to name the staff and provide their qualifications. Economic selection includes a current ratio of at least 0.9 and specified insurance cover: £2 million professional risk indemnity, £5 million public liability and £5 million employers’ liability.

This opportunity suits software and energy-services businesses able to design and build a domestic Energy Performance Certificate wrapper and its supporting technical infrastructure. Strong candidates will combine software development, systems integration and knowledge of energy-performance data or building-services information. The technical submission is the main evaluation focus, so suppliers need a credible delivery approach, suitably qualified named personnel and evidence that their team can complete a compact, technically defined project. Bidders must also demonstrate environmental management measures, including actions to build awareness of the climate emergency and reduce organisational carbon emissions. Any intended subcontracting must be declared, including the proportion of work involved. A relevant community-benefits proposal is required, covering social, economic and environmental wellbeing in Scotland.
