A number of public sector bodies are also responsible for energy efficiency initiatives. These authorities have a duty to promote and implement energy efficiency measures under various national and local schemes aimed at reducing carbon emissions and lowering energy costs for residents. The main purpose of this procurement is to facilitate Energy Efficiency measures through a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS). This system is designed to support local authorities and their partners in accessing energy-efficient products, works, and services. It aims to enhance the energy performance of buildings, contributing to broader environmental and economic objectives such as carbon reduction, economic revitalisation, and public health improvement. The DPS will cover a comprehensive range of energy efficiency categories, allowing for flexible and cost-effective procurement processes that align with available funding streams, including the Warm Homes Local Grant, Local Authority Delivery scheme, the Home Upgrade Grant, and the Energy Company Obligation. This approach enables the continuous improvement of energy efficiency, ensuring that public sector bodies can respond dynamically to emerging needs and opportunities in the energy sector.

Complete Tender Coverage

Following Brexit, the new official Find a Tender system has been developed by UK Government to detail all public procurement contract opportunities expected to be over £122, 976 for Central Government or £189,330 for the remainder of the public sector e.g. NHS contracts, Local Authority contracts, Housing Association contracts. Publishing requirements for all of the public sector are in place to ensure transparency, fairness and open competition.

All UK public sector opportunities under these values, but over £10,000 for central government or over £25,000 for other public sector organisations, are still required to be published on Contracts Finder. Scotland, Wales and NI also have their own dedicated sites: Public Contracts Scotland, Sell2Wales, eSourcing NI and eTendersNI.

Complete Tenders have centralised and consolidated all of this information into a single, easy to use platform that is updated hourly with all new opportunities.
