Summary of the contracting process

East Renfrewshire Council appointed a managing agent to deliver Energy Efficiency Scotland: Area Based Schemes across East Renfrewshire. The service supports energy-efficiency installations by maximising Scottish Government grant funding, checking installation quality and procuring installation contractors in coordination with the Council’s procurement team and housing services. The agent also raises awareness of funding and helps homeowners, landlords and other eligible organisations access available funding streams. The work includes coordinating contractual, legal and procurement arrangements between registered social landlords, Council services, residents and homeowners. This is a professional energy-efficiency programme management service, rather than a contract to carry out the installations themselves (CPV 71314300, energy-efficiency consultancy).

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Changeworks. The Council used a mini-competition under the SXL Energy Efficiency Contractors Framework, professional services sub-lot for managing agents; the underlying tender method was open. Two bids were received, both from small and medium-sized enterprises. The contract is active and was signed on 1 October 2026. Its value is £2,593,113. The work is subject to Scottish Government funding. The award data does not state an award date or contract start and end dates, so the signed date is the only recorded contract date. The requirement was structured as one lot, covering the managing-agent services for the scheme.

For suppliers considering a future requirement from East Renfrewshire Council, this award demonstrates demand for a managing agent able to run a grant-funded, area-based home energy-efficiency programme, not simply advise on energy use or install measures. Credible competitors would need to manage grant allocation, installation quality assurance and contractor procurement, while coordinating effectively with the Council’s procurement and housing teams. They would also need to support homeowners, landlords, registered social landlords and other eligible organisations, communicating funding options and coordinating legal and contractual arrangements across these parties. Experience delivering comparable public-sector energy-efficiency schemes and the capacity to manage multiple contractors and stakeholder relationships would be directly relevant. The route used was a mini-competition within a professional-services framework, so framework access and the ability to compete through that route matter.
