## Summary

The public procurement process detailed here involves a direct award contract initiated by Cadent Gas Limited, with Northern Gas Networks Limited as the procuring entity, for the "Warm Homes Network - Collaborative Project". This project, classified under the social services sector, aims to support customers at risk of fuel poverty across various UK regions, from 1st August 2026 to 1st April 2028. Yorkshire Energy Services CIC is designated to deliver the service, ensuring tailored support on income maximisation, benefits, debt advice, and energy efficiency, facilitated through strategic collaboration with partners like Citizens Advice Manchester and Turn2us. The procurement stage is complete, following a direct award method designed to sustain an established, effective service model without competitive tendering, thus preserving continuity and mitigating disruption risks.

This tender provides significant opportunities for businesses specialising in social services, particularly those adept at offering support to vulnerable households. Organisations with expertise in energy consultancy, income optimisation, and community welfare services stand to benefit, given the service's focus on reducing fuel poverty and improving customer well-being. Such businesses would thrive in this collaborative network, augmenting their reach and impact across wide geographical locations in the UK. SMEs and entities with a demonstrated ability to deliver high-value social services through integrated frameworks will find this an advantageous platform to enhance their visibility and sectoral influence.

## Notice

From 1 August 2026, the Warm Homes Network will be introduced as a single point of contact (SPOC) service. The service is designed to support customers on the Cadent and NGN networks who are living in, or at risk of, fuel poverty. Delivery of the service will be undertaken in partnership with the following organisations: Lightning Reach (SPOC provider) Citizens Advice Manchester YES Energy Solutions (YES) Turn2us Customers will be able to self-refer, or be referred by one of the partner organisations, to access tailored support and advice, including: Income maximisation, benefits, and debt advice Energy efficiency guidance and home assessments Benefit entitlement checks and grant search support

### Procurement Information

This direct award represents the continuation of a successful and board-approved GD3 partnership, ensuring the uninterrupted delivery of support to customers living in, or at risk of, fuel poverty across the Cadent and Northern Gas Networks (NGN) distribution areas. The Warm Homes Network has been developed through a collaborative approach involving YES Energy Solutions, Lightning Reach, Citizens Advice Manchester and Turn2us, creating an established referral network and integrated support model that would be difficult to replicate without significant disruption. The proposed service introduces a single point of contact (SPOC) model, enabling customers to access a range of tailored interventions through one coordinated service. These include income maximisation support, benefits and debt advice, energy efficiency guidance, home energy assessments, benefit entitlement checks and grant search assistance. The existing partnership has developed the specialist expertise, referral pathways, operational processes and customer trust required to successfully deliver this holistic support model. A competitive procurement exercise is unlikely to provide additional value given the maturity of the existing arrangements, the proven capability of the delivery partners and the significant investment already made in establishing the Warm Homes Network framework. Undertaking a competitive process could introduce delays to mobilisation, disrupt established referral channels and negatively impact support provided to vulnerable customers during a period of continued cost-of-living pressures. Direct award will ensure continuity of service, preserve established stakeholder relationships and maintain delivery momentum while supporting the strategic objectives of Cadent and NGN to reduce fuel poverty, improve customer wellbeing and provide targeted support to vulnerable households. The arrangement also enables the partners to build upon the outcomes and learning generated during GD3, maximising social value and ensuring customers continue to receive support through a trusted and proven delivery model. The direct award is therefore considered the most effective and proportionate route to secure continued delivery of this specialist service, ensuring value for money whilst mitigating the risk of service interruption for customers who rely on the support provided through the Warm Homes Network.
