## Summary

Plymouth Community Homes, a public undertaking based in Plymouth, is commencing the planning stage for its "EPC Programme 2026/27 - 2027/28". This procurement process seeks to ensure compliance with new Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards by surveying approximately 5,000 to 7,000 properties to confirm their EPC C rating before the 1 April 2028 deadline. Services required include energy-efficiency consultancy and building inspection. The project has a budget of £500,000 and will be executed in the United Kingdom. The planning stage was initiated with an engagement milestone scheduled for 12 December 2025, indicating an initial market engagement step to refine project specifications.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities, particularly for businesses specialising in energy efficiency, building surveying, and related services. As the project is divided into lots, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) will find accessible paths to compete. Suppliers with robust experience in data validation and energy-related services, especially those who can demonstrate reliable delivery strategies and high data quality standards, will be well-suited to participate in this vital public procurement, reinforcing compliance with the forthcoming legislative requirements.

## Notice

Following the recent consultation on the implementation of new Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES), Plymouth Community Homes (PCH) must establish a comprehensive survey programme to confirm and maintain our EPC C compliance ahead of the 1 April 2028 deadline. The consultation specifies that properties with a valid EPC rating of C or above prior to 1 April 2028 will remain compliant with MEES until the certificate's natural expiry date. To achieve this, we need to address a significant number of properties requiring updated EPC assessments to validate future compliance. Data integrity will be critical to the success of this programme. Survey outputs must ensure full access to record all key material elements. Where necessary, PCH will provide confirmation of insulation materials and measures to support accurate EPC lodgements. Programme Scope: * Volume: 5,000 - 7,000 EPCs * Delivery Period: 1 April 2026 - 31 March 2028 * Budget Estimate: PS500,000 To optimise delivery and data quality, the contract will be divided into logical lots based on property type and location. EPCs must be lodged via Elmhurst Energy, and robust data validation will be a core requirement. Suppliers should clearly outline their approach to ensuring accuracy, consistency, and quality in their submissions.
