## Summary

LiveWest Homes Limited initiated a procurement process using the Competitive Dialogue method to appoint suppliers for its Energy Efficiency Retrofit Contracts across the Southwest of England. The procurement encompasses four geographical lots—Cornwall, South Devon, North Devon & South Somerset, and Bristol, Bath & West of England—covering extensive construction and retrofit works. The main procurement category is works, with each lot focusing on improving the energy efficiency of homes, aiming at achieving the EPC C standard for properties. Cardo Ltd was appointed for Cornwall and North Devon & South Somerset, whereas Ian Williams Ltd was chosen for South Devon and Bristol, Bath & West of England. The contracts hold potential to last 15 years, starting with a 5-year term followed by two optional 5-year extensions, and signed on 25th December 2024. The procurement status is complete as of 23rd March 2026.

The procurement presents significant business growth opportunities for construction and energy services companies, especially those specialising in energy efficiency improvements such as insulation, solar panel installation, and advanced heating systems. Given the extended potential contract duration and substantial total value, this tender is attractive to large suppliers with expertise in delivering large-scale retrofit projects. Companies like Cardo Ltd and Ian Williams Ltd, with established capabilities in the specified technologies and regions, are particularly well-suited to compete for such contracts. Prospective bidders are encouraged to review the procurement documents for detailed requirements and any implications of TUPE regulations, offering a framework that aims to foster best practice and collaborative working throughout the programme. Smart technology, renewables, and energy-efficient installations will drive the transformation, enabling targeted businesses to refine their offerings and expand their market presence in the region.
