Tender: Oxfordshire County Council – Retrofit-as-a-Service for Owner-Occupied Homes

About

Oxfordshire County Council is seeking a supplier for a long-term Retrofit-as-a-Service programme to improve the energy performance of owner-occupied homes by deploying domestic low‑carbon energy technologies and associated services. The Council requires a service that supports residents across the full lifecycle of installations, from initial assessment and installation through operation, maintenance, optimisation, customer support and end-of-term arrangements. This notice is for market engagement only, is not a call for competition and does not commit the Council to procure; procurement detail and scope may change following market engagement and internal approvals. The Council is not intending to require residents to enter regulated consumer credit, hire purchase or similar consumer finance arrangements, and the market engagement questionnaire will ask suppliers to confirm whether their approach can be structured without such finance. If the Council proceeds it is likely to follow a Competitive Flexible Procedure route under the PA2023 regulations with multiple stages. Interested suppliers should download and complete the attached questionnaire and return it via the messaging portal no later than 19:00 on 250926; the Council reserves the right to ignore market engagement responses received after 250926.
