GLA Support and Management of REFIT5 2026-30 (outside London)

The Greater London Authority (GLA) is undertaking preliminary market engagement in advance of a potential procurement for support and management services associated with the RE:FIT 5 Framework (2026-2030), specifically for delivery outside London.

RE:FIT is a long-established public sector decarbonisation framework. Since 2016, it has supported the delivery of:

- £576m of investment in decarbonisation/energy efficient projects.

- £35m annual savings to public sector organisations and

- 654,700 tonnes of carbon reduction per year

RE:FIT 5 represents the next phase in scaling delivery nationally and accelerating decarbonisation across public sector estates with an estimated value of £1 billion.

This engagement seeks to:

- Assess the viability and attractiveness of a concession-based delivery model for the management of the framework outside London.

- Understand market capacity, capability and expertise to deliver national technical, commercial and procurement support services to framework users, specifically for each and all of the defined RE:FIT 5 delivery stages:

- The Investment Grade Proposal Stage

- Works Delivery Stage

- Measurement and Verification Stage

- Maintenance Stage and

- Alternative/Off-balance sheet financing Stage.

- Gather insights on delivery models, risks, innovation opportunities challenges within the supply chain

- Inform the commercial and procurement approach.

ANTICIPATED SCOPE OF SERVICES

The GLA is seeking feedback on services that may include:

- Framework management and governance

- End-to-end support to framework users, including procurement, commercial and technical advisory services across the REFIT lifecycle.

- National market engagement and pipeline development

- Data management, reporting and performance monitoring

- Operational support and administration

The GLA is exploring a concession-based delivery model, under which:

- Services are delivered at no direct cost to the GLA and may deliver revenue to the GLA.

- The provider generates revenue through agreed mechanisms

The viability, risks, and potential structures of this model are a key focus of this engagement including supplier appetite.

This exercise is for information‑gathering only. It does not constitute a commitment to procure, and participation will not preclude suppliers from future procurement opportunities.
