## Summary

Colchester City Council has initiated a public procurement process titled "GB-Colchester: 0422 - Acquisitions & Refurbishments", focusing on construction work in the East of England, United Kingdom. The tender involves the acquisition and refurbishment of 30-50 domestic properties during 2025-2026, aiming for energy efficiency with an average EPC rating of C79. The procurement method is an open procedure, with the tender stage currently active. The contract period starts on 1st May 2025 and ends on 30th April 2026, with a potential extension of up to two more years. Interested parties must submit their bids by 3rd March 2025, with the project valued between £500,000 and £1,000,000.

This tender presents significant opportunities for construction companies specialising in residential refurbishments. Firms with experience in improving energy efficiency and those already familiar with the standards required to achieve an EPC rating of C79 are particularly well-suited. The project offers a substantial contract value and the potential for extended collaboration with Colchester City Council, making it an attractive growth opportunity for businesses. While the procurement is open to all eligible companies, it particularly aligns with the Council's preference for collaborations with voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs).
