Rotherham extends deadline for Local Area Energy Plan procurement
Procurement · England
By Net Zero News · Published 18th October 2026
A newly published amendment extends Rotherham’s Local Area Energy Plan submission deadline to 6 November 2026 at noon. The procurement seeks evidence and modelling to shape the borough’s energy transition.
Project status: Tender amendment — deadline extended
What changed
The published scope includes stakeholder engagement, data analysis, energy-system modelling, prioritisation of projects and monitoring and evaluation. The advertised value is £96,000 including VAT. The original procurement predates this week; the recent development is the deadline change, rather than a newly launched tender. Suppliers should confirm the current deadline and requirements in the buyer’s procurement documents before submitting.
Key project takeaways
Use the extended period to test resources and methodology against the full specification.
Link energy planning outputs to an actionable project pipeline, investment needs and delivery monitoring.
Why this matters
Local Area Energy Plans can help councils assess demand, infrastructure constraints and potential investment priorities before selecting projects. Prospective bidders should use the amended procurement notice to confirm the submission deadline and requirements.
