Eastern Procurement tenders a GBP 1.06bn heating, electrical, mechanical and decarbonisation framework

A GBP 1.06bn, unlotted decarbonisation framework is open: suppliers who cover the whole heating-and-electrical scope, or partner to, buy years of call-off work in one bid.

BuzzBaboon Signal Fact

Eastern Procurement Limited published a tender notice for a single, multi-supplier Heating, Electrical, Mechanical and Decarbonisation Framework with an estimated value of GBP 1,060,972,300. The scope covers supply, installation, replacement, upgrading, servicing, inspection, testing and maintenance of heating, electrical, mechanical, renewable and low-carbon energy systems in domestic and non-domestic properties, including heat pumps, heat networks, solar thermal, biomass, CHP and microgeneration.

Why this may matter BuzzBaboon Insight

A billion-pound framework with no lots concentrates the opportunity on suppliers that can cover the full heating, electrical and low-carbon scope, or that partner to do so. Frameworks like this are how social landlords and public bodies buy decarbonisation work for years at a time, so a place on it is a pipeline rather than a project.

Interpretation, not fact. Produced by a human analyst reading the Find a Tender notice. A prompt to investigate, never a conclusion to act on.
What could happen next
  1. Tender notice published for the framework
  2. Suppliers bid alone or in partnership to cover the full scope
  3. Framework awarded to a panel
  4. Public bodies and landlords call off heat pump, heat network and electrical work
  5. Sub-contractors and equipment suppliers are appointed under each call-off
Further down the chain
  • Heat pump and heat network installers seek panel members to work under.
  • Demand for commissioning and MEP engineers in the east of England rises.
  • Equipment manufacturers position with the appointed suppliers.
What I would watch
  • The submission deadline in the notice.
  • The list of appointed suppliers when the award is published.
  • First call-offs, which show which authorities are using it.
What may be worth doing
  • If you install or maintain building energy systems, decide now whether to bid or to supply a bidder.
  • Assemble evidence across the full scope, since the framework is not lotted.
  • If you make or distribute equipment, find the likely panel members before award.

Possible consequences, not predictions. Window: 0 to 6 months.

Suggested next questions
  • What is the submission deadline and the number of suppliers to be appointed?
  • Which contracting authorities can call off the framework?
  • Is there a regional weighting, or can a national contractor bid?
