This procurement seeks expertise in Smart Building Technology solutions. Such solutions aim to improve energy efficiency, building performance, and integration with current systems across the council's estate. The industry category falls under energy-efficiency consultancy services. The location for the deliverables is specified within the UKG3 region. A preliminary market engagement document is available with a deadline for response by 7th August 2026. This document is part of the council's exploration phase before the official tendering process begins on 1st September 2026, with a planned contract period until 31st August 2027. This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in smart energy solutions and consultancy services. It is particularly well-suited for SMEs and Voluntary, Community, and Social Enterprises (VCSEs) capable of providing technology-driven energy improvements, enhancing building management systems, and contributing to carbon reduction goals. Engaging in this project allows businesses to establish a foothold in delivering critical advisory roles, expanding their portfolio in smart energy initiatives, and showcasing innovative solutions that align with future sustainability targets. The council is looking for a consultant to act as a trusted advisor, which offers scope for long-term collaboration beyond the initial consultancy phase. ## Notice The Council has undertaken preliminary research into the Smart Building Technology market and is seeking to progress towards a formal procurement exercise for the delivery of Smart Building Technology solutions across its estate. Prior to undertaking this next phase, the Council is exploring the appointment of an independent specialist consultant to provide technical, commercial and procurement-related support. The Council anticipates that any appointed consultant would act as a trusted advisor and critical friend throughout the project lifecycle. This may include supporting the Council in understanding the available technology landscape, identifying appropriate use cases, reviewing existing building management and energy systems, developing technical requirements, facilitating stakeholder engagement, supporting business case development and advising on procurement and implementation approaches. The Council is particularly interested in understanding how smart building technologies can support: * Improved energy efficiency and carbon reduction. * Enhanced building performance and operational management. * Better utilisation of assets and facilities. * Improved occupant comfort and wellbeing. * Data-driven decision making through improved monitoring and analytics. * Integration with existing and future Building Management Systems (BMS), energy monitoring platforms and business intelligence tools. * Future integration with renewable energy technologies, battery storage and wider smart energy initiatives. ### Planning Information Preliminary Market Engagement document found by accessing www.wolverhamptontenders.com.
