Procurement and supplier engagement, Support for businesses delivering retrofit

Supply chain advice pack: Procurement Act 2023 update

Introduction

Procurement is a key element of retrofit projects. Without successful procurement, project outcomes may not be met, and in some cases projects will fail.

Procurement is required throughout retrofit projects, but it is particularly important for the provision of service providers (e.g. retrofit assessments) and contractors (e.g. retrofit installers).

Where no existing service provider or contractor is in place, or it is not possible to vary an existing contract, a new procurement exercise must be undertaken. The way this must be carried out is changing, with the introduction of a new set of regulations on how public procurement should take place- the Procurement Act 2023.
