## Summary

The Rochdale Council, represented by STAR Procurement Limited, has awarded a design and build contract for decarbonisation projects in Greater Manchester, specifically targeting the construction sector. This tender, valued at £8,443,337, was finalised on 6 May 2021, with the project aiming to improve energy efficiency in ten corporate buildings and ten schools by installing ground source heat pumps and enhancing insulation. The procurement method employed was a limited procedure due to urgent timelines, necessitating a direct award to Engie Limited without prior publication of a competitive call.

This contract presents significant growth opportunities for businesses involved in construction, energy systems, and environmental services, particularly those specialising in retrofitting and renewable energy technologies. Companies with expertise in heat pump installations, insulation improvements, and energy management systems will be well-positioned to demonstrate their capabilities. The focus on decarbonisation also aligns with emerging market trends towards sustainable practices, making this a strategic opportunity for businesses looking to expand in the public sector or enhance their service offerings in energy efficiency.

### Procurement Information

The Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy has awarded GMCA a conditional PS78.3 million grant to administer the Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme in Greater Manchester. The Scheme will be delivered by the Recipient and 14 other partners and will involve undertaking retrofit works to improve the carbon efficiency of public sector buildings in Greater Manchester. Rochdale Council submitted an application on 23 November 2020 for 10 corporate buildings (including Leisure Centres) and 10 schools amounting to PS11,062,288. The conditions included in the grant agreement mean that the liability for delivering the programme rests entirely with the Council. The Council would need to repay capital costs incurred in delivering the project up to the maximum grant value where we have not met the grant conditions in relation to completing works by the programme end date (30 September 2021). Full consideration has been given to all procurement options available and an assessment of indicative procurement lead times. Due to the extreme urgency, specifically the project deadlines it is the decision to directly award the design and build contract to Engie Limited. Under regulation 32 (1c) In the specific cases and circumstances laid down in this regulation, contracting authorities may award public contracts by a negotiated procedure without prior publication. Section (c) insofar as is strictly necessary where, for reasons of extreme urgency brought about by events unforeseeable by the contracting authority, the time limits for the open or restricted procedures or competitive procedures with negotiation cannot be complied with. This contract notice will be advertised for 10 calendar days before it progresses to contract award.
