Provision of Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) Assessments
Authority: Platform Housing Limited (Public body)
What is being bought3 lots · detail below
Published requirement descriptionPlatform Housing Limited is seeking to appoint suitably qualified and experienced suppliers to deliver Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) assessments across our operational areas across the Midlands. We require these assessments to be performed against the current regulations and then under HEM when this legislation comes into effect.
The procurement is divided into three Lots which reflect the three geographic/localities as detailed above.
- Lot 1: Severn Area (Worcestershire, Herefordshire and Gloucestershire)
- Lot 2: Tame Area (Derbyshire, most of Leicestershire, West Midlands, Warwickshire and Staffordshire)
- Lot 3: Witham Area (Lincolnshire, small part of Leicestershire, Rutland and Northamptonshire)
Duration of the contract: 2 Years Initial Term + 1 Year + 1 Year Extensions (per Locality). Tenderers may bid for one lot only; each lot will be evaluated independently.
This stock is further broken down into 2 priorities:
- Priority 1 - To be completed before October 2027
- Priority 2 - To be completed after Priority 1 completion
More information on this can be found in the tender documentation.
- How the procedure runs: This procurement is being conducted using a Competitive Flexible Procedure and is divided into three geographical localities: Severn, Tame and Witham. Further information regarding the scope and requirements of each locality is detailed within the tender documentation. Suppliers will not be awarded more than one locality, but may bid for multiple. Following the tender return deadline, submissions will be evaluated on the basis of the published quality and price criteria. Evaluation and scoring will be undertaken independently within each locality, with suppliers competing only against other bidders for the same locality. The Contracting Authority reserves the right to seek clarification of submitted tenders where necessary. Subject to the completion of evaluation and governance approvals, one successful supplier will be appointed to each locality. Contracts are anticipated to commence on 1 January 2027.

How the contest usually goes
Winner shares use published awards; bid and price charts use contested lots.
i
How often small and medium firms win.
Share of awards where the winner’s size is known.
The counts under this question show how many awards have a known supplier size.
Small firms have won here. Neither number says whether you qualify; it describes who has been winning.
i
How often local firms win similar work.
Winners with a registered address in the delivery region, out of awards with a known address.
Here, local means registered in East Midlands.
A local branch does not count if the registered address is elsewhere.
Most of this buyer’s recorded winners are registered in East Midlands.
i
How long buyers here take to decide after bids close.
Middle value in days from the deadline to the first award notice, on competitions that published both dates.
Only decided tenders count, so slow ones still waiting are not in.
Half of these awards were announced within 86 days of the bid deadline.
i
How often work is awarded with no recorded rival.
Direct awards and tenders where every published lot count shows one bid.
Both shares are minimums: some awards have no bid count.
Thin markets produce this too; it is not proof of a tailored specification.
Missing bid counts may hide more single-bid awards. This share is a minimum.

About this data
- Source. Official UK public procurement notices (Find a Tender), reused under the Open Government Licence v3.0. New notices arrive through the day; the figures are rebuilt nightly.
- Two views, kept apart. The authority’s own track record and the wider market for the same kind of work sit side by side and are never mixed. Where the local picture is too thin, a figure widens to a broader market and says which one it used.
- Forecasts are labelled. The price forecast and its range, possible competitors and the earlier-work matches are our estimates from past awards: not published facts, not win chances and not price advice. Official notices do not say who is bidding.
- Every figure shows what it rests on. Not every notice publishes a bid count, a value or a delivery region, so each figure carries the number of records behind it, and one built on few records is marked as such. The on a figure explains it; the counting rules are in the methodology. Spotted something wrong? Tell us.
