Air source heat pumps
Procure Plus has outlined plans for a four-year, £720m framework to supply low and zero-carbon technologies for social housing and public sector properties across the UK.
The not-for-profit procurement body intends to launch the framework in November, with a tender notice expected on 4 June.
The contract is scheduled to begin on 25 November 2025 and conclude on 24 November 2029, Manchester-based Procure Plus announced last Friday (23 May).
It will run in parallel with a separate framework for the installation of low-carbon technologies, which is being procured through a different process.
The supply-only agreement will cover a range of products including air source and ground source heat pumps, hot water cylinders, high heat retention storage heaters, infra-red heating systems, smart controls, and photovoltaic and battery units. These technologies will support retrofit programmes and new-build schemes aimed at cutting carbon emissions from the built environment.
The framework will be open to the wider public sector but is focused on supporting social landlords in decarbonising their housing stock. Procure Plus has highlighted its aim to engage with small and medium-sized enterprises through the process.
According to the procurement notice, the final scope of the framework may be revised before the tender notice is published. Procure Plus has also stated that it reserves the right not to proceed with the procurement.
