## Summary

Cambridge City Council has initiated an open tender process for cost consultancy and quantity surveying services titled "SHF Wave 3 and External Wall Insulation Programme." This project falls under the building consultancy services category. The Council seeks to retrofit approximately 551 council homes, improving their energy efficiency to meet at least an EPC C rating.

The tender stage is currently active, with key deadlines including an enquiry period end on 26 January 2026 and a tender period closing on 30 January 2026. The contract is valued at a gross amount of £60,000 and allows for one annual renewal period.

The consultancy services required encompass post-contract consultancy for a significant retrofit programme, providing a platform for businesses to expand their portfolio in sustainable housing projects and establish partnerships with public authorities like Cambridge City Council.
