This project, currently in the planning stage, aims to proceed with market engagement by March 10, 2022, with an anticipated approach to the market in April. The works will involve various improvements, segmented into lots for different trades, covering electrical, heating, insulation, and photovoltaic system installations, with a preliminary budget of approximately £500,000 per year over a four-year period. The contract will be located in the North East of England. This tender presents a valuable opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in energy efficiency improvements, electrical installations, plumbing, and insulation works. The breakdown into several lots allows for more tailored bidding opportunities, which could be ideal for tradesmen or small contractors looking to expand their portfolio in public sector projects. Interested businesses can express their interest by contacting David Major at Gentoo Group via the provided email. ## Notice Gentoo Group will soon be approaching the market to procure a number of Framework Providers to assist in its pledge to bring all of its 28,000 properties to a minimum EPC rating of "C". Survey works are currently ongoing to assess the current condition of Gentoo stock and to recommend future works necessary to upgrade the properties. The vast majority of works to properties will be minor and therefore this notice is aimed more at SME's than larger Principal Contractors.
