## Summary

The Greening Business Scheme by Westmorland and Furness Council aims to provide free carbon auditing services to SMEs in Westmorland and Furness, fostering energy efficiency and cost-saving initiatives. Situated in Kendal, the council functions as a sub-central government public authority. The procurement process has reached the award stage as of 24 April 2026, following a limited competition method. The contract was initially signed on 26 February 2026, and the project's operational period is from 21 March 2026 to 31 March 2027, with services delivered across the UKD12 region. The procurement primarily concerns energy-efficiency consultancy services.
