## Summary

Rotherham Borough Council is currently in the planning stage of a public procurement process titled "Commercial Building Decarbonisation 26/27," aimed at the decarbonisation of 15 commercial buildings in Rotherham. This initiative aligns with the Council's commitment to achieving net-zero operational emissions by 2030, building upon prior upgrades involving ASHP, LED lighting, solar PV, BEMS, and insulation works. Businesses interested in the decarbonisation of buildings have the opportunity to participate in this market engagement, with the final submission due by 24 April 2026, at 12:00 via the YORtender portal. This market engagement aims to gather knowledge and data, without down-selection of providers, and includes a detailed questionnaire available online related to the planned works, with the contract planned to commence on 1 September 2026.

This procurement opens up substantial opportunities for businesses involved in building construction, environmental improvement, electrical installation, and related works to engage and potentially offer their services in the decarbonisation effort. Particularly advantageous for SMEs, the tender is accessible for companies with expertise in the areas specified by CPV codes such as building construction, environmental improvement, building alteration, electrical installation, insulation, plumbing, and sanitary works. This initiative offers a gateway for growing businesses to contribute to a sustainable future while expanding their portfolio with government-directed projects within the UK’s Yorkshire and the Humber region.

## Notice

Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council (RMBC) are keen to further understand where the market stands in terms of an upcoming opportunity for the decarbonisation of 15 commercial buildings, to be delivered in the 2026/27 financial year. Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council is progressing a multi-year commercial building decarbonisation programme aligned with its commitment to achieve net-zero operational emissions by 2030. The Council has already initiated upgrades at several smaller sites, measures such as ASHP, LED lighting, solar PV, BEMS and insulation works. In the 2026/27 financial year, we intend to progress the decarbonisation of a further 15 buildings within our commercial estate. Each site has already undergone a detailed decarbonisation survey, providing tailored recommendations for the most effective route to reducing emissions.
