Energy Efficiency DPS
Framework Description
Plymouth City Council's Energy Efficiency Dynamic Purchasing System (EEDPS) is a route for buying low and zero carbon and energy efficiency measures. The council has it administered and managed by Independence CIC (INCIC), which publishes the scheme documents and handles applications. As a DPS it stays open to new contractors throughout its term, which runs until 29 September 2028.
Context & Use Case
Contracting authorities listed on the EEDPS use it to commission energy efficiency and low carbon work, with requirements organised by category, lot and sub-lot, and by region and district of operation. INCIC publishes which lots, sub-lots and contracting authorities are currently active, so contractors can see where work is being bought before deciding what to apply for.
Scope of Services

Who Can Apply
Suits energy efficiency installers and low carbon contractors that operate in the regions the EEDPS covers. Applications are open now: INCIC's How to Join guide, Standard Selection Questions and eligibility criteria set out what you need to pass.
Buyer Benefits
Authorities get a pool of pre-checked contractors for energy efficiency work without running full tenders, and the DPS lets them add installers when they need more capacity. Having INCIC manage applications and eligibility checks means councils spend less time on supplier admin and more on getting measures installed.
