What is being bought

Published requirement description

Acivico invited submissions from qualified suppliers for a single-supplier framework agreement to deliver comprehensive energy audits and decarbonisation surveys across a diverse property portfolio.

The framework seeks a specialist partner capable of providing detailed evidence-based surveys that identify inefficiencies and develop practical, cost effective carbon reduction

strategies. The successful supplier will play a key role in translating environmental goals into actionable retrofit plans that deliver measurable carbon savings while ensuring

compliance with evolving regulations.

Recognising the built environment's significant carbon impact, the supplier will collaborate closely with internal teams, tailoring recommendations to each property's operational context, outlining clear investment pathways and supporting access to relevant funding.
