## Summary

The public procurement process regarding the "LiveWest Energy Efficiency Retrofit Contracts" has concluded with awards aimed at enhancing energy efficiency in homes throughout the Southwest of England. The initiative is spearheaded by Echelon Consultancy, the buyer organisation, focusing on construction work, specifically energy efficiency retrofits. Contracts have been awarded to Cardo Ltd and Ian Williams Ltd, covering areas such as Cornwall, North Devon, South Somerset, South Devon, Bristol, Bath, and the West of England under the CPV category 45000000. The procurement method followed was Competitive Dialogue, aligning with Public Contracts Regulations 2015 to optimise value and quality through collaboration. These contracts, valued at £274.3 million, span from February 2025 to February 2039, featuring terms that permit extensions, fostering long-term partnership opportunities.

This procurement initiative presents significant business growth opportunities mainly for large-scale construction firms specialising in energy efficiency projects. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) may also find themselves well-positioned to collaborate or subcontract, given the selective procurement method that encourages competitive and innovative dialogue. With a keen focus on improving homes to meet EPC C standards, businesses that are adept in sustainable construction practices will be particularly suited to engage in this venture, further supported by Echelon Consultancy's commitment to driving quality and collaborative work models. The long-term nature of the contract offers stability and ongoing prospects for companies that specialise in substantial retrofit operations across the UK.

## Notice

LiveWest has appointed Cardo Ltd to deliver Energy Efficiency Retrofit works for Lot 1 (Cornwall) and Lot 3 (North Devon and South Somerset). Ian Williams Ltd has been appointed to deliver Lot 2 (South Devon) and Lot 4 (Bristol, Bath and the West of England). Each contract has a potential duration of up to 15 years, comprising an initial 5-year term with two optional 5-year extensions.

These appointments will support LiveWest's programme to improve the energy efficiency of homes across the Southwest, bringing properties currently below EPC C up to the EPC C standard.
