## Summary

Transport for London procured specialist technical consultancy to develop a repeatable framework for identifying, prioritising and expanding Smart Local Energy Systems (SLES) across London. The work focuses on areas where electricity grid capacity is constrained, and considers how SLES deployment can help relieve those constraints while delivering wider social value. The requirement is research and development consultancy related to energy systems, rather than the installation or operation of energy infrastructure. The buyer is Transport for London; the description identifies the Greater London Authority’s ICS as the procuring body. The work concerns deployment across London, with emphasis on grid-constrained areas.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to REGEN SW. It used limited competition below the applicable threshold and was organised as a single lot. The contract was signed on 19 October 2026 and runs from 19 October 2026 to 18 May 2027, with a possible two-month extension, up to 19 July 2027. The contract value is £149,520 including gross value. The award is active, and the contract is active. No award date is recorded separately from the contract signing date. The stated requirement was to create a replicable approach for scaling SLES in London, particularly where grid capacity is constrained; the available award details do not set out scoring criteria or supplier eligibility conditions.

For suppliers considering comparable work for Transport for London, this award indicates demand for specialist energy consultancy that can connect local energy-system planning with electricity network constraints. A credible competitor would need to show the ability to identify and prioritise candidate SLES projects across a large urban area, assess where grid constraints matter, and develop a practical framework that can be replicated at scale. The brief also links deployment decisions to wider social value, so relevant experience should include integrating those outcomes into technical recommendations rather than treating grid capacity as the only consideration. The selected supplier was a consultancy, and the procurement allowed for a lead supplier working with subcontractors, a model that may suit a team combining complementary technical and analytical expertise.

## Notice

The GLA's ICS is procuring a specialist technical consultancy or a consortium of suppliers (where there is one lead supplier and one or more sub-contractors) to develop a replicable framework for identifying, prioritising, and scaling Smart Local Energy System (SLES) deployment across London, with a focus on grid constrained areas. The core question is: how can SLES be deployed at scale in London to alleviate grid capacity constraints, whilst supporting other areas of social value
