This public procurement falls under the industry category of construction work and is specifically focused on retrofit and de-carbonisation efforts for private homes in Gateshead, UKC2 region. The contract, valued at £12,750,000, was awarded to Equans Regeneration Ltd on 7th May 2026. The award followed a limited procurement method, executed without a prior public call for competition, due to its nature as a further competition under a regional framework agreement. The project aims to improve energy efficiency across targeted areas of Gateshead through effective management and coordination of retrofit services and customer engagement initiatives.

This tender represents a substantial opportunity for businesses specialising in construction with capabilities in thermal insulation and energy efficiency improvements. Companies with experience in managing large-scale retrofit projects or possessing technical proficiency in managing comprehensive property assessments and compliance with standards like PAS2035 and PAS2030 would be well-positioned to compete.
