## Summary

The EEM0046 Retrofit, Insulation and Associated Works Framework has been awarded by Efficiency East Midlands Limited, a public authority based in Alfreton, United Kingdom. This tender replaces a previous framework expiring in April 2026 and focuses on enhancing energy efficiency through the installation of various insulation types and associated works across domestic and commercial properties. The framework is structured into two geographical lots: Lot 1 for the Midlands region and Lot 2 covering England and Wales. The procurement process employed an open procedure, and the framework agreements extend for a four-year term, with call-off contracts potentially lasting up to an additional five years. The contract period begins on 6 April 2026 and ends on 5 April 2030, with a total estimated value of £124 million.

This framework presents significant business opportunities for companies involved in insulation and retrofitting, particularly those specialising in external wall insulation, solar panel installation, and energy efficiency measures. Since the framework supports both domestic and commercial projects, businesses ranging from small to medium enterprises (SMEs) to larger corporations will benefit from participating. Companies with industry certifications such as Trustmark, MCS, or PAS accreditations are especially well-suited to compete due to the technical requirements of the framework, ensuring that they deliver high-quality, compliant services to EEM's vast membership base comprising housing associations, local authorities, and other public sector bodies across the UK.
