## Summary

The Department for Education has finalised its procurement process for the "Net Zero Accelerator (phase two)" project in the West Midlands. The procurement, which reached the award stage on 24th July 2025, saw Mace Consult Ltd secure the contract. This project, aimed at improving energy efficiency and sustainability in schools, is valued at £2.6 million. Using an open procedure, the procurement was completed in compliance with the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. This initiative falls under the industry category of architectural, construction, engineering, and inspection services, with a focus on feasibility study and analysis. The initiative is significant for educational institutions in the East Midlands and West Midlands regions, where the delivery partners will commence work from 30th June 2025, with the contract running until 29th June 2027.

This tender represents a considerable opportunity for growth within the architectural, engineering, and sustainability sectors. Businesses that specialise in energy efficiency, carbon reduction, and sustainable infrastructure are well-suited to participate and benefit from these kinds of projects. With a focus on SMEs, the project encourages smaller firms to engage and contribute innovative solutions, potentially opening further collaborations in public sector sustainability initiatives. The engagement of a large, established supplier like Mace Consult Ltd highlights the potential for partnerships or subcontracting opportunities for smaller entities within this strategic area. Businesses able to deliver high-quality, sustainable engineering solutions could leverage this undertaking to strengthen their portfolio and establish a foothold in the public sector market.
