Electrical Heating Framework
Framework Description
The National Framework Partnership's Electrical Heating Framework gives public sector clients access to accredited suppliers for installing, maintaining, repairing and upgrading electrical heating systems. It sits in the Facilities & Estates category, and applications for it are closed (it is not a DPS); it was let under the Public Contracts Regulations. It runs until 1 October 2027.
Context & Use Case
Housing providers, councils and other public bodies use it to replace or upgrade electric heating in homes and buildings, carry out routine servicing and fix faults. Upgrades often replace older, less efficient systems, and short e-sign forms let them appoint a supplier from the approved list without running a full tender.
Scope of Services
Installation of new electrical heating systems Routine maintenance and servicing Repairs to faulty systems Upgrades to improve performance and energy efficiency Advice on planning system improvements and installations

Who Can Apply
Suits electrical heating installers and maintenance contractors with accreditations and public sector or social housing experience. Applications for this framework are closed until it is re-tendered ahead of the 1 October 2027 end date.
Buyer Benefits
Buyers want energy-efficient heating that lowers residents' bills and supports decarbonisation, delivered by accredited installers. The framework gives them pre-evaluated suppliers and a quick appointment process, so programmes can start promptly, and agreed terms reduce the cost of each appointment.
Next Steps
Appointed suppliers should approach housing and estates teams with heating replacement plans and show energy savings from completed work. Others should note the 1 October 2027 end and watch the National Framework Partnership site for the re-tender. Prepare accreditations, social housing case studies and energy performance data.
How Athena Can Help
Heating programmes are increasingly judged on energy outcomes. Athena's framework application drafting service helps installers prepare for the 2027 re-tender, presenting accreditations and energy data as scored evidence.
