Combined Heat and Power Quality Assurance (CHPQA) Programme 2026

The CHPQA programme is a mature programme that has been delivered for over 20 years and supports applicants in accessing approximately £321 million in financial incentives annually, contributing to the uptake of energy-efficient solutions across the UK and supporting energy security. The programme has no agreed end date but will continue to deliver a public benefit until 2030. CHPQA delivery is currently split into two Lots, and we intend to procure similarly. Lot 1 includes the certification and assessment of submissions made by schemes under the programme, and provision of support to applicants, as well as data reporting. Lot 2 delivers the audits for the programme. Both Lot 1 and Lot 2 have been awarded to the same supplier, ICF Consulting Services Limited.
