Zero Carbon - Consult, Design and Install DPS
Framework Description
Commercial Services Kent's Zero Carbon Consult, Design and Install DPS helps public bodies plan and deliver low and zero carbon projects. It has four lots, from site surveys and energy modelling to consultancy on technical solutions and installing them. As a dynamic purchasing system, it accepts new suppliers while it runs. It runs until 23 February 2029. The Find a Tender notice reference is 011519-2025.
Context & Use Case
Councils, schools and other public bodies working towards net zero use it at every stage of a decarbonisation project. Typically they commission surveys and modelling first, then strategy or technical consultancy, then delivery of measures such as heat pumps or solar. Each requirement is awarded through a competition among the suppliers admitted to the relevant lot.
Scope of Services
Lot 1: Site Survey and Modelling Lot 2: Energy/Sustainability Management Consultancy Lot 3: Technological Solutions Consultancy Lot 4: Technological Solutions Delivery
Lots
Lot 1 Site Survey and Modelling; Lot 2 Energy/Sustainability Management Consultancy; Lot 3 Technological Solutions Consultancy; Lot 4 Technological Solutions Delivery
Who Can Apply
Energy surveyors, sustainability consultants, building services designers and low carbon installers, including SMEs. As a live DPS it is open to new applicants who meet the selection criteria, so suppliers can apply now for one or more lots.
Buyer Benefits
Buyers can take a decarbonisation project from feasibility to installation through one route, with competition at each stage. Because new suppliers can join at any time, the pool keeps up with new technologies and installers. Separating consultancy from delivery also lets buyers get independent advice before committing capital.
Next Steps
Read Find a Tender notice 011519-2025 and register on the procurement portal it names. Choose the lots that match your work. A firm that both designs and installs could apply for Lots 3 and 4. Prepare accreditations, insurance, project case studies with measured carbon or energy savings, and your selection questionnaire answers, then submit before 23 February 2029.
