When this comes round again

Luton Council publishes Business Services work continuously — 51 notices, roughly one every 27 days. This is a stream to watch, not a cycle to wait for.

22% of Luton Council’s awards go to a supplier it has used before.

Which is the argument for getting on the list rather than winning this one. The incumbent is rarely the last winner — it is the roster. See the retention odds by category →

The brief

The Council requires a specialist consultant to develop a Local Area Energy Plan (LAEP) covering the whole of Luton Borough (all 19 wards), including: whole-systems energy modelling of heat, power and transport to 2050; stakeholder-informed scenario planning and a preferred pathway; costed interventions covering capital, operating and maintenance costs and carbon savings; and an implementation plan structured across 0–5, 5–15 and 15+ year horizons, with projects prioritised against available funding streams.
