Energy Saving Trust wishes to appoint contractors to operate and manage each of the five regional advice centres of the Home Energy Scotland (HES) advice network covering the Highlands and Islands, North East, South East, South West, Strathclyde and Central regions of Scotland from 1st April 2026. The tender will be split into 5 lots, covering the provision of the services in these 5 geographical areas. Energy Saving Trust currently anticipates following a single-stage "open" tender procedure and to publish a formal contract notice for these purposes in July 2025. We currently anticipate the estimated total value of the services being tendered to be GBP 12 million over 2 years to March 2028, with a potential for two further one-year extensions. This figure, and figures for future years of the service are subject to ongoing revision and approval from Scottish Government, acting in their own sole discretion.
