UK Public Sector Contracts & Tenders

DSIT is seeking a Regional Delivery Partner who will be responsible for ensuring successful on-the-ground delivery of the TechFirst youth programme in the North West. TechFirst is the Government’s flagship digital and technology skills programme, created to remove skills as a barrier to growth in the sector. The sector relies on specialist digital and STEM skills, but there is a clear gap between demand and supply. This programme aims to build the sustainability and diversity of the tech talent pipeline, creating the foundations for long-term growth in one of the Government's 8 growth-driving sectors. The youth strand of TechFirst, TechYouth, aims to reach 1 million students in schools and colleges across the UK with opportunities to develop their digital skills, gain confidence with AI and insight into a range of potential tech careers. Regional delivery partners will support the programme at a local level, delivering skills building activities and career inspiration days for schools and colleges in the area. They will work in partnership with local industry and academia to achieve this. With the support of Regional Delivery Partners, the TechYouth programme should spark young people's interest in technology and encourage more to pursue digital and computing qualifications at age 14 and 16, both academic and vocational. It will particularly encourage uptake from currently underrepresented groups, including girls and those from socioeconomic disadvantage. These students will form the pipeline of future technology researchers and professionals needed for the sector to achieve its potential growth.

DESNZ requires an experienced AV supplier to provide support in advance of, and throughout, an 11-day programme of dynamic, high-profile, and inclusive events for in-person and online audiences at COP31 in Turkey.

Please note that the launch date is anticipated to be within the window of anticipated to be within the window of 3rd of June to 5th of June. DESNZ is seeking to procure a consortium to deliver a research programme to build the policy-relevant evidence base for decarbonisation of the industrial sector and carbon management. The research will be spread across four main work packages on: 1. Industrial Fuel switching including electrification and alternative fuels 2. Resource and energy efficiency in industry 3. Carbon Capture, Utilisation and Storage and engineered Greenhouse Gas Removals 4. Life Cycle Assessment methods and applications in industry Additional work packages will include a: 5. flexible fund to respond to emerging evidence needs 6. data and stakeholder engagement work package underpinning the entire programme and additional stand-alone projects. The programme will focus on building the required evidence base, translating existing evidence alongside new analysis and data collection and modelling to support decision-making in industrial decarbonisation. Alongside this, a dissemination, knowledge transfer and policy translation role will be necessary to maximise impact of the research. The programme will require expertise on a number of industrial sectors, decarbonisation measures, technology sustainability and cost assessment, interactions with other sectors and supply chains and understanding of policy contexts. Methods to be employed will include literature reviews, quantitative and qualitative data collection, stakeholder engagement and interviews, modelling and analysis skills, project management and dissemination as well as policy analysis. The scope of the programme necessitates a wide range of topical expertise and skills. Outputs will likely include reports, data and models, decision support tools, case studies, teach-ins, and on-call briefings and scientific support. The research and outputs will be co-designed with policy stakeholders to ensure policy relevance and will have built-in flexibility to respond to emerging policy needs. To support potential suppliers with finding partners, a supplier partner engagement form is being provided which will allow suppliers to register their interest in identifying partners and their skills and expertise.

The Radiological Response and Emergency Management System (RREMS) is a system managed by the Department for Energy, Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) and used by the United Kingdom which records and analyses the level of radioactivity across the United Kingdom. DESNZ is the lead government department in the event of a civil nuclear emergency and previously used the Radioactive Incident Monitoring Network (“RIMNET”) to support this function. The Ministry of Defence (“MOD”) is the lead government department in the event of a defence nuclear emergency and previously used the Nuclear Emergency Response Information Management System (“NERIMS”) to support this function.

Description of the Project This will support two large Government Departments: • Department for Energy Security and Net Zero • Department for Science, Innovation and Technology We anticipate over 2000 flu vaccination e-vouchers, with scope to procure more if demand increases. We would like the option of MI data, e.g number of vouchers requested, vouchers redeemed and vouchers remaining, with the option to redistribute unredeemed/cancelled vouchers if possible. The process for staff redeeming the vouchers should be clear and simple to the requester. The E-vouchers should be able to be redeemed at a local pharmacy across UK sites typically within a 5-mile radius of office locations which are: LONDON 26 Whitehall London SW1H LONDON OAB Annex Old Admiralty Building, London CARDIFF 2 Ty William Morgan 6 Central Square, Cardiff, CF10 1EP BELFAST Erskine House 20-32 Chichester House, Belfast BT1 4GF LONDON 100PS 100 Parliament Street LONDON 10 Victoria Street 10 Victoria Street, London GLASGOW 1 Atlantic Square, Glasgow, G2 8NJ ABERDEEN AB1 AB1, Crimon Place, Aberdeen, AB10 1BJ SHEFFIELD 1 St Paul's Place, Sheffield, S1 2NB YORK Foss House York NOTTINGHAM Loxley House Station Street, NG2 3NG, BRISTOL 2 Rivergate 2 Rivergate, Temple Quay, BS1 6EH BIRMINGHAM 23 Stephenson Street 23 Stephenson Street, Birmingham, B2 4BJ BRISTOL Glass Wharf 3 Glass Wharf, Bristol BS2 0EL BIRMINGHAM Victoria Square House 1 Pinfold Street, Birmingham B2 4AA NEWCASTLE City Gate City Gate, 6th Floor, Gallowgate, NUponT, NE1 4WH SALFORD Trinity Bridge House Salford, M3 5BS MANCHESTER 2 St Peter's Square Clarendon House, 2 St Peter's Sq, Manchester M2 3AA LONDON 2 22 Whitehall London SW1H CARDIFF 1 Companies House Crown Way, Cardiff, CF14 3UZ EDINBURGH Queen Elizabeth House Sibbald Walk, Edinburgh, EH8 LONDON 3-8 Whitehall Place London SW1H LONDON 55 Whitehall London SW1H CAMBRIDGE Eastbrook Shaftesbury Road, Cambridge CB2 8DF DARLINGTON Feethams House Darlington, DL1 5AD LONDON Whitechapel Building 10 Whitechapel High St, London E1 8QS LEEDS 7&8 Wellington Place, Leeds, LS1 4AP BIRMINGHAM Edmund Street 120 Edmund Street, Birmingham B3 2QZ DARLINGTON Brunswick Brunswick St, Darlington DL1 1GB MANCHESTER Manchester Central Retail Park, Great Acolatse St, Manchester M4 6DJ ABERDEEN AB1 AB1, Crimon Place, Aberdeen, AB10 1BJ As this is an e-voucher system, we would expect an instant turnaround when staff request their voucher, with no later than 24 hours of staff receiving it to their email address and a response to any queries within 48 hours of contacting.

To ensure that this procurement maximises appropriate bidder responses we have the following questions that we would like to pose to interested suppliers: 1. Supplier Capability and Supplier Capacity - a. Please can you confirm that you would have the relevant skills, capability and capacity to undertake the services detailed? b. Based on the information provided, please can you advise if you believe that the scope is clear and achievable? 2. Procurement Timescales - a. Based on the timescales for the procurement and services, please can you advise if your organisation would have capacity to provide a bid response and undertake the services within the timescales detailed? 3. Project Scope - a. Please can you advise if there is any additional information that you would require to ensure you have all the information required to submit a tender response? We are inviting interested suppliers to respond to the above questions by completing this questionnaire https://forms.cloud.microsoft/e/ccX9R85kkq by Wednesday 27th May 2025 By responding to the questionnaire, you will be engaging in non-competitive dialogue which will enable ICS to develop and assess the market's appetite, concerns and view on the formulation of its requirements. ICS may consider the information and responses received as part of the questionnaire to help inform the specification and further decision making in relation to the planning and conduct of the procurement, ensuring all valid options are considered. If only 1 supplier expresses interest, ICS will pursue a direct award. For the avoidance, this notice is not a Call for Competition; a Contract Notice will be issued as a call for competition. Not providing a response to the questionnaire shall not prevent any supplier from participating in a future procurement, nor is it intended that any information suppliers as part of the market consultation place any supplier at an advantage in a potential procurement process.

Disclaimer The information set out below is indicative only. The scope, timelines, routes to market, contract values and duration are subject to change. Reform proposals are also subject to public consultation later in 2026 which may significantly alter the Authority’s approach or decision to run any form of tender exercise. Introduction In January 2026 the Government published the Warm Homes Plan (WHP), setting out how it will help households reduce energy bills and transform the existing building stock into comfortable, future proofed low carbon homes. The Plan explains how home upgrades, including microgeneration measures (solar panels, batteries and heat pumps) and energy efficiency measures (insulation), will support bill reductions. Delivery of the WHP requires consumer confidence that work in homes is high quality. There are three priorities for reforming consumer protection for retrofit: Simplicity – the consumer protection system should be easy for consumers and installers to navigate. Right first time – clear accountability and oversight is needed to prevent poor quality installations, and ensure work is delivered correctly in majority of circumstances. Swift remediation and redress – where issues do arise, consumers must have clear routes to remediation, with costs addressed appropriately depending on the circumstances, and decisive action taken against noncompliance. The reforms propose oversight of consumer protection for energy efficiency and microgeneration installations in government supported schemes will be brought under closer government control. Please refer to the WHP for further detail. The Government is considering how best to reform delivery and assurance arrangements, including where direct government delivery or third-party delivery is most effective in delivering for consumers. The system will apply to government supported schemes and, where appropriate, may also be used voluntarily for non-government funded work. Initial Market Engagement In April and May 2026, the Department undertook initial market engagement to inform the market on possible delivery routes for consumer protection. The slides presented and a recording of the webinar are available on the DESNZ procurement portal opportunity listing: [https://beisgroup.ukp.app.jaggaer.com/esop/guest/go/opportunity/detail?opportunityId=60920] Delivery Model Assessment (DMA) Delivery of consumer protection reforms is subject to an ongoing delivery model assessment within the Department. This assessment is considering a range of delivery models, including in house, outsourced and hybrid approaches, and their implications for quality assurance, consumer protection, pace of delivery, value for money and system resilience. The outcome of the DMA and public consultation will have a significant impact on the plans for any procurement for consumer protection for government support retrofit schemes. The result from a procurement perspective may include but not be limited to: There is no procurement activity. There is one large procurement for all or part of the scope of services detailed in this notice. There are multiple procurements for all or part of the scope of services detailed in this notice. The procurement(s) may or may not be separated into lots. The route to market and choice of procedure may differ from the contents of this notice. The value and duration of any contract may differ from the contents of this notice. The timeline of any procurement may differ from the contents of this notice. The scope of services may be substantially similar or substantially different to the contents of this notice. Final decisions about how consumer protection will be delivered, and the involvement of commercial actors in the future arrangement have not been made yet. As thinking around the delivery model evolves, if any part of the service will be outsourced, additional market engagement will take place as required alongside, or following, the policy consultation. This will include more detailed engagement with suppliers on the requirements, procurement procedures and contract terms among other things. Suppliers will be notified of such engagement via additional notices. Individuals and organisations will have the opportunity to comment on the policy design for consumer protection through the public consultation later this year. Scope of services Summary The primary objective of the consumer protection regime is to ensure consumers receive safe, high-quality installations. Strong protections are essential to building trust in the retrofit market, with remediation and redress needed only in exceptional cases. The service will provide a coherent, well-governed and future-proof consumer protection system that supports DESNZ policy objectives and industry standards. A single system will apply across energy efficiency and microgeneration. The system must operate transparently and reliably, with clear accountability and strong assurance. Suppliers will need the operational, technical and governance capability to deliver consistent performance, manage risk and support tighter government oversight, continuous improvement and value for money. The four service areas below describe the possible full functional scope required. This does not imply that all services would be delivered by a single organisation or that market delivery would be appropriate for all elements. 1. Service Delivery This area covers frontline functions for consumers and installers or retrofit professionals. It includes public and market channels, user journeys, casework, communications, branding and supply chain engagement. Required outcomes: Development and maintenance of an approved retrofit supplier list. This list would be an accurate register of approved retrofit professionals, eligible to deliver government funded retrofit work, with robust onboarding/offboarding and eligibility controls. Consumer protection service promotion and awareness. Delivery of accessible, visible and clear branding aimed at Installers/retrofit professionals and consumers to support understanding of the service and benefits. Consumer interface and casework process. An accessible public‑facing service with case management processes for consumers to support queries and redress. Installer/retrofit professional interface and lodgement process. Provision of an accessible industry-facing system for lodgement/upload of measures installed. Training and professional development. Support and guidance to industry to support compliance with standards and codes of conduct. This service does not duplicate the certification role of installer Certification Bodies. Responsibility splits and governance arrangements in a reformed system will be consulted on later in the year, as set out in the Warm Homes Plan. UKAS will continue to accredit Certification Bodies, and accreditation is out of scope. 2. Data, Technology and Intelligence This area covers the infrastructure and analytical capability needed to run the service securely and reliably. It includes data collection, storage, data warehousing, secure user platforms, and analysis to identify risks and support improvement. Required outcomes: Data collection, storage and sharing. Provision of a secure data storage system with accessible user interface, real time access and defined data rights and sharing agreements. Data analysis and intelligence. Data analysis to provide insights to support operations of the consumer protection system. Data on installations and performance will be used to track issues and identify risks in the system. Information governance and security. Lawful, secure processing of data. Technology and digital services. Provision of reliable and accessible user platforms to support the operations of the consumer protection service. 3. Protections, Quality Assurance and Compliance This area provides the oversight and assurance framework that underpins trust in the system. It covers auditing, fraud and risk management, installer performance monitoring, proportionate enforcement and escalation, and financial protections for consumers. Required outcomes: Auditing, quality and risk management. Establishment and delivery of an oversight and audit regime, through a combination of proactive and risk‑based oversight. Financial protection mechanisms. Establishment, delivery and active management of a system that ensures consumers have valid financial protection, over a set time, to acceptable standards. Performance management and enforcement. Establishment, delivery and active management of a sliding scale of proportionate interventions to encourage compliance and quality installations. This should move from early preventative action through to formal enforcement and escalation to support redress and overall quality in the system. Standards are out of scope for this work, but we are aware of organisations with existing standard development functions, who may wish to have a specific discussion on this topic. As part of a separate workstream, DESNZ is continuing to sponsor BSI to produce the next amendment of PAS 2035/2030, planned for publication in Winter 2026. 4. Contract Management and Governance This area provides the commercial, financial, reporting and governance framework needed to oversee performance and ensure effective operation. Required outcomes: Commercial, contract and financial management. Implementation of governance, reporting, processes and controls to deliver the service, support BAU and continuous improvement. Stakeholder and regulator liaison. Effective engagement with industry bodies and installer groups. Engagement with regulators and Other Government Departments. Mobilisation and exit from the contract.
