Summary of the contracting process

Glasgow City Council procured independent professional services to technically assess applications to its Heat Decarbonisation Fund. The fund supports heat decarbonisation projects within the Clyde Mission programme, which also covers strategic masterplanning for the River Clyde Corridor. The work is heat decarbonisation funding application assessment, rather than delivery of the projects themselves. The assessment work is for Glasgow City. The buyer is Glasgow City Council.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Glasgow City Council selected Ramboll UK Limited for the single lot. The contract value is £90,000, and it was signed on 31 August 2026. The procurement was run as a mini-competition under Scotland Excel’s Local Heat & Energy Efficiency Strategies Framework, using an open procedure. Four bids were received. The requirement was for suitably qualified professional services to carry out technical assessments of applications to the fund.

This award demonstrates demand from Glasgow City Council for independent technical assessment of heat decarbonisation funding applications. A credible competitor would need professional capability to assess applications technically and experience relevant to heat decarbonisation projects. The work concerns evaluating funding applications, not designing or delivering the funded projects, so firms whose expertise is limited to project construction or installation may not be a close fit. The competition attracted four bids, indicating competition for this specialist advisory requirement. Suppliers positioned to compete effectively would be those able to provide suitably qualified assessors and deliver a reliable assessment service for applications to a public-sector heat decarbonisation fund.
