Local authority procurement specialist LHC has fired the starting gun on bidding for a new framework to support the retrofit and decarbonisation of the UK’s 6.1m social homes and public sector buildings.

It is looking for consultants and specialist contractors in energy efficiency, heating and ventilation, renewables, electric vehicles and solar PV.

Launching in Autumn 2024, the Retrofit and Decarbonisation (N9) framework is designed to plug into government and energy company schemes including the Social Housing Decarbonisation Fund and Home Upgrade Grant.

Together, the schemes are worth £1.4bn, with match funding from social housing from local authorities, social housing providers, and charities adding £1.1bn.

Nick Beard, LHC technical manager, said: “N9 will go live later this year and runs until 2028, so it perfectly aligns with peak public sector demand for expertise in energy efficiency and low-carbon heating solutions.”

“At LHC we are very proactive in our work to attract smaller and more local businesses and underrepresented groups to apply to be part of our frameworks, and the tender process has been adapted with this in mind.

“For example, to access many of the government funding streams, installers must be PAS 2030 certified. Part of our process will be to support appointed companies in achieving these standards within two years of joining the framework, if required.”

Tender documents are available via www.lhcprocure.org.uk/itt-n9.
