Welsh Government Energy Service Interim Framework

The Welsh Government Energy Service (WGES) supports public sector organisations and community energy enterprises across Wales with decarbonisation, renewable energy, climate resilience, emissions reporting and climate action. The current framework (expiring 31 March 2027) comprises two Lots: Lot 1 Public Sector Decarbonisation Support and Lot 2 Public Sector Net Zero Reporting. Welsh Government is developing an interim successor framework to provide continuity of support while wider policy developments progress, including the establishment of the Welsh Public Energy Company and implementation of the Climate and Nature Action Plan. The interim framework will build on the current WGES model with increased flexibility, featuring a shorter initial 2-year term with extension options compared to the current 4-year term. Scope, structure, value, duration and procurement approach are under development. Preliminary market engagement is planned, with details published in a future Preliminary Market Engagement Notice. The tender is anticipated for financial year 2027/2028, with the new service commencing in early 2028. This notice is for market transparency and advance planning only and does not constitute a commitment to procurement, award or expenditure. Interested suppliers should register their continued interest.
