Contracts
Energy, fuel & utilities
Public sector contract notices in energy, fuel & utilities, from Find a Tender and Contracts Finder.
Energy, fuel, water and the services around them: electricity and gas supply, fuels, renewable generation and energy efficiency work, water supply and treatment, and utility support services. CPV divisions 09, 65, 41 and 76, with heating and ventilation installation.
Bulk energy supply itself is almost entirely bought through national purchasing organisations on behalf of many buyers at once, so an individual notice for it is rare. The work that is genuinely open to a smaller firm is the rest of the category: metering, energy efficiency and retrofit, solar and heat pump installation, and the surveys and assessments that precede them. Retrofit work usually names the standard it must be delivered to and the accreditation the installer must hold, so check that first.
