Description
In December 2023, the previous UK Government announced how £6 billion of funding would be spent to provide energy efficiency support to families, business and industry. This included allocating capital funding for two energy efficiency schemes (a local authority retrofit scheme and the Social Housing Decarbonisation Fund Wave 3) amounting to a previously published value of £500m and £1.25bn, respectively (the ~£1.25bn for the Social Housing Decarbonisation scheme would also leverage co-funding from landlords). These funding schemes are administered by the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (hereafter referred to known as "The Authority").
The Authority is seeking to procure a delivery partner for Wave 3 of the Social Housing Decarbonisation Fund and a local authority retrofit scheme.
Feedback from suppliers via this early engagement will help inform our thinking and shape the Authority's future commercial strategy for the Schemes.
The Authority invites organisations with the capability & capacity to support these funded programmes to express their interest in this pretender market engagement and to help inform the development of our potential procurement.
Requirements are expected to include:
- Application assessment,
- Project performance & management,
- Grant recipient change control,
- Grant recipient payment support,
