## Summary

The Energy Saving Trust Ltd, operating as the buying organisation, has initiated a public procurement process to appoint contractors for providing multi-disciplinary technical advice and project management services under the Community and Renewable Energy Scheme (CARES). This procurement process follows an open procedure focusing on services relating to renewable energy projects, energy systems, storage, heat, and transport. The contracting authority is located in Edinburgh, within the UK (Region UKM75). The procurement process is currently at the award stage with contracts already signed on 10 October 2025, involving two main lots: Multi-disciplinary Technical Advice and Project Management Support Framework. The procurement is designed to support CARES applicants in developing renewable energy and local energy projects, with applicable regions including UKM.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in renewable energy, offering potential growth through collaboration on community-driven projects. The framework is ideal for SMEs and larger enterprises with expertise in renewable systems and project management. Businesses that can provide detailed and complex technical advice or comprehensive project management support are well-suited to participate. The opportunity to work on CARES projects can build credibility and experience in the public sector, offering longer-term prospects for similar contracts.
