ECW is a council-owned organisation dedicated to making Cheshire and Warrington the healthiest, most sustainable, inclusive, and growing region in the country. This tender aims to map the workforce readiness across key clean energy sectors, supporting the North West's ambitions for the Government’s Clean Power Mission. The procurement process is in the 'tenderAmendment' stage following its initial tender stage. The tender, classified under 'Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security', uses an open procedure (below threshold). Noteworthy dates include the tender period ending on 12 January 2026 and the contract period commencing on 19 January 2026 and concluding on 31 March 2026. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing, and security services, particularly those focusing on sustainability and clean energy. With the focus on mapping the demand for skills and jobs within clean energy sectors, companies specialising in research, consultancy, and strategic planning might find this tender highly relevant. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) as well as voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to apply, reflecting the inclusive approach by ECW. Engaging in this regional mapping effort allows businesses to not only contribute to local economic growth but also align with clean energy and sustainability goals, thus promoting future business expansion in these areas. ## Notice Enterprise Cheshire and Warrington (ECW), a council-owned organisation, works alongside elected leaders to make the region the healthiest, most sustainable, inclusive, and growing place in the country. We collaborate with the three local councils, industry leaders, and community partners to shape economic and transport strategies, deliver skills training and business support, and ensure that the voice of business is heard in local decision-making. Through its Marketing Cheshire division, ECW also champions the region as an outstanding place to live, work, invest, study, and visit. Working in collaboration with local government, businesses, educational institutes and other public, private and community sector organisations, we keep Cheshire and Warrington firmly on the map. The recent North West Clean Power Paper makes clear the North West's ambitions to deliver on the Government's Clean Power Mission. The major energy and infrastructure projects in the North West are key to unlocking Clean Power 2030 and Industrial Decarbonisation, and are key to economic growth across our region. It is vital that the workforce and supply chain are in place to support this pipeline, and that as many local residents, suppliers, and educational institutions are involved to secure local benefit. Substantial research has been conducted locally and nationally on workforce readiness and availability across key sectors, including the recent Regional Skills Pilot and North West Retrofit Skills Plan work. To support forward planning, a synthesis of evidence from across the clean energy sectors is required - showing where and when demand peaks for skills and jobs will take place across our geography, and identifying where demand for the same skills across different clean energy sectors could either cause supply problems or unlock new opportunities for collaboration. Enterprise Cheshire and Warrington, working on behalf of the North West Net Zero Hub and the Office for Clean Energy Jobs in the Department of Energy Security and Net Zero, alongside existing and emerging Combined Authorities across the North West, are seeking to appoint Consultancy support to deliver an evidence-base report detailing the likely demand for Clean Energy jobs and skills across the region over the coming decade. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c54efcb4-af18-429a-bbb6-9c7895449269 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 17 Dec 2025 | | Submission deadline | 12 Jan 2026 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 19 Jan 2026 - 31 Mar 2026 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | ENTERPRISE CHESHIRE AND WARRINGTON | | Locality | WINSFORD | | Post town | Crewe | | Postcode | CW7 1AH | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD6 Cheshire | | ITL 3 | TLD63 Cheshire West and Chester | | Local authority | Cheshire West and Chester | | Electoral ward | Winsford Dene | | Westminster constituency | Mid Cheshire | | Delivery location | TLD North West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 79000000 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ## Release History - 17 Dec 2025 at 09:26 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c54efcb4-af18-429a-bbb6-9c7895449269 - 2 Dec 2025 at 09:21 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c54efcb4-af18-429a-bbb6-9c7895449269 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c54efcb4-af18-429a-bbb6-9c7895449269 17th December 2025 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/57b41abb-1f3f-4808-89b0-3f5d63db3406 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/c3422e12-af7a-43e6-bee8-ad4c299d0b27 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/2bb0b8b4-1246-4f19-ad39-9b5a77c82b1f - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/c1e6cc21-4617-4ebb-871e-c23fb3a14e65 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/74b9b512-e656-4f5e-ad02-69da9a62e8c6 ## Notice URLs - https://cheshireandwarrington.com/how-we-work/about/tenders-and-opportunities/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
