## Summary

The Dorset Council has awarded a contract for the Healthy Homes Dorset 2024 programme to Ridgewater Energy Limited. The programme aims to address avoidable Excess Winter Deaths by improving home insulation and heating systems in Dorset. The contract is valued at £5,000,000 and will run from April 2024 to March 2026, providing opportunities for suppliers in the energy-efficiency consultancy and construction industry categories. The tender period ended on January 26, 2024, with the contract starting on April 1, 2024.

This procurement process by Dorset Council presents opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the works category, particularly those involved in energy-efficiency consultancy services, thermal insulation work, and heating works. The contract duration of up to 4 years offers a stable income stream, and the focus on improving home conditions aligns with government priorities on health, social care, and environmental sustainability. Suppliers with experience in delivering similar programmes can leverage their expertise to contribute to the success of the Healthy Homes Dorset initiative.

## Notice

Each winter there are approximately 500 avoidable Excess Winter Deaths (EWDs) in Dorset and an estimated 4,000 related emergency hospital admissions, 16,000 related outpatient visits, and 16,000 related social care calls, the majority of which affect vulnerable older people and people with long term cardiovascular and respiratory conditions. Between a fifth and a third of these are estimated to be caused by cold homes: It is the second most significant factor for EWD: Only seasonal 'flu has more of an influence. Preventative works such as insulation are the cornerstone to providing cost-effective improvements in resident independence and wellbeing while delivering reduced demand for social and health care and their relevant costs. From 2015 to 2023, the Healthy Homes Dorset (HHD) programme has provided advice to thousands of residents and improved hundreds of homes to help reduce illness, maintain independence, reduce costs and Carbon emissions and improve air quality, while supporting construction industry skills and jobs. Tenders are being sought from suppliers for the delivery of the HHD programme from April 2024 over a maximum 4 year term.
