## Summary

The Highland Council has announced a planned public procurement for a Highland Energy Efficiency Framework, spanning from 2024 to 2028. This tender process, currently in the planning stage, seeks to transform energy efficiency and renewable works across domestic and non-domestic properties within the Highland region (UKM6). Interested contractors are invited to contribute to various aspects including consultancy and advice, building fabric improvements, heating and ventilation, renewables and ancillary systems, as well as building controls. The process expects to receive submissions by December 13, 2024. The Council, located in Inverness, is focusing on achieving targets outlined in the Net Zero Strategy by improving and replacing heating systems, installing solar PV, and insulating properties with the help of external funding sources such as the Scottish Government.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for firms specialising in energy efficiency solutions, renewable energy installations, and comprehensive property services. Companies with expertise in consultancy, building improvements, or heating and ventilation systems will find multiple lots to bid on, allowing for targeted involvement based on expertise. SMEs with a strong portfolio in these domains, as well as larger corporations that can handle multi-lot contracts, stand to benefit from participating in this strategic framework. The Highland Council’s commitment to sustainability and energy efficiency offers a stable, long-term business relationship for successful bidders, fostering growth through consistent, funded projects that align with national and regional objectives for reducing carbon footprints.
