Opportunity overview

Working with GDNs and Age UK, the project focuses on shared learning to provide practical, trusted support for older people across England. It will integrate an energy triage service into advice lines, helping identify those struggling with costs or warmth, alongside clear, accessible information on energy use, bills, benefits and safety. The approach remains flexible, sharing insight across nations, linking in with Age Cymru and Age Scotland, while adapting locally, with additional face-to-face support through community partners in Scotland and Wales.

Why this procedure was chosen
The contract supports a regulated Vulnerability and Carbon Monoxide Allowance (VCMA) funded initiative delivered through a specialist charity provider with an established national network and proven capability to deliver the required services at scale. Age Cymru, Age Scotland and Age UK operate a federated national delivery model that enables consistent delivery across multiple Gas Distribution Networks, which this agreement forms a key element of. This is supported by existing governance, quality assurance, and reporting arrangements. The collaborative approach between GDNs enables consistent programme delivery, shared oversight, and efficient use of VCMA funding in line with Ofgem guidance. A direct award is therefore justified on the basis of the supplier's technical capability, proportionality, and alignment with regulatory objectives relating to vulnerability support and carbon monoxide safety.
