## Summary

Rutland County Council has completed the procurement process for the provision of a Local Area Energy Plan (LAEP), which focuses on transitioning Rutland to a low-carbon, net-zero energy future. This award-level contract was established through an open competition and was won by Energy Systems Catapult Limited. The contract commenced on 9th December 2025 and will run until 21st October 2027, with a total contract value of £107,946. Situated in Oakham, with key procurement activities centred in the UKF22 region, this initiative aligns local energy goals with national targets, fostering efficient infrastructure investment. The procurement method was a below-threshold open competition, allowing various suppliers to participate and contribute innovative energy solutions.

This tender represents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in energy-efficiency consultancy services. With the focus on creating practical pathways to decarbonisation and enhancing infrastructure in line with net-zero objectives, firms with expertise in energy systems and environmental improvements could greatly benefit. Companies offering consultancy in infrastructure works and strategic advisory services that align with public sector energy policies are particularly well-suited to compete. The contract’s scope for integrating cutting-edge energy solutions provides growth potential for businesses aiming to expand their footprint in the public sector marketplace.

## Notice

A LAEP is a strategic plan that maps out how a local area can transition to a low-carbon, net-zero energy system. It assesses current and future energy needs (electricity, heat, transport) and identifies the most cost-effective and practical pathways to decarbonise over the coming decades, typically to 2050. LAEP's align local energy decisions with national net-zero targets and support informed decision-making across planning, housing, and transport. They also guide infrastructure investment and increase the chances of securing external funding and private investment.
