## Summary

Surrey County Council is initiating a procurement process for an Expression of Interest titled "Surrey's County Wide Local Area Energy Plan," categorised under services related to energy-efficiency consultancy, research and development, and environmental issues. Situated in regions UKJ25 and UKJ26 of the United Kingdom, this tender is at the planning stage, with a milestone engagement deadline set for 17th March 2026. The overall process is designed to facilitate a pre-market engagement, ensuring an innovative and flexible procurement model. The contract period is anticipated to begin on 1st May 2026 and conclude on 31st March 2027, with a gross value estimated at £100,000.

This tender presents considerable opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in energy consultancy, research, and environmental management. The focus on creating a county-wide energy strategy offers a chance for businesses to participate in shaping a sustainable energy future and influencing regional plans. Given the emphasis on partnership and innovation, businesses that excel in collaboration and can contribute to developing Surrey's energy strategy are well-suited to respond. This engagement will not only aid in project budgeting and timeline determination but also positions businesses to secure engagement in significant public sector initiatives that support community infrastructure and economic priorities.

## Notice

With statutory obligations emerging through the Spatial Development Strategy, Heat Network Zoning, and the Regional Energy Strategic Plans (RESPs), a robust LAEP is essential to ensure Surrey can meet these requirements and deliver a resilient, future-proofed clean energy system that supports critical infrastructure, housing growth, economic priorities, and wider community benefit. Surrey requires completion of at least Stages 1-4 of the Energy Systems Catapult methodology ahead of Q1 2027. This is critical to provide county-wide evidence for elements such as the "Nations & Regions Context," enabling Surrey to effectively influence regional planning and secure prioritised grid investment from the DNOs. The Unitary Authorities may then elect to complete Stages 5-7 at a later date, enabling them to capture local-level specifics, reflect community priorities, and incorporate further input from the SDS, NESO and DESNZ into the subsequent stage. SCC is very interested to hear from suppliers regarding this expression of interest to better inform budget requirements and timelines to complete the Surrey County wide LAEP (Stages 1-4)
