This tender, classified under electrical equipment for engines and vehicles, aims to engage suppliers experienced in the installation, maintenance, and decommissioning of smart heating systems, home electric vehicle (EV) charge points, domestic renewable energy measures, meter reading technology, home energy management systems, and air quality monitoring systems. ESC is particularly focused on expanding its supply base in remote areas of Scotland to support a large upcoming project involving over 300 homes. Suppliers must apply at any point during the tender's envisaged minimum three-year timeline, with the engagement period ending on 31st December 2025. Suppliers are expected to manage installations throughout the UK, and project meetings may occur at ESC’s Birmingham office or virtually. This tender offers substantial business growth opportunities, particularly for companies specialising in smart heating solutions, EV charge point installations, renewable energy systems, meter technologies, and air quality monitoring. Ideal candidates are those with capabilities in handling such diverse installations and maintenance tasks, and those willing to operate in Scotland’s remote areas. SMEs are particularly encouraged to apply, as the framework seeks to appoint all qualified suppliers without a limit. Participation in this framework allows businesses to establish a recurring revenue stream from government projects over several years, thus enhancing their portfolio and operational footprint across the UK. ## Notice Energy Systems Catapult (ESC) is looking to engage with suitable suppliers who are highly experienced with the installation, maintenance and decommissioning of smart heating systems, home electric vehicle (EV) charge points, domestic renewable energy measures, meter reading technology, home energy management systems, and air quality monitoring systems.
