Showersave approved for Greener Futures Partnership Dynamic Purchasing System
Showersave is proud to announce that our waste water heat recovery (WWHR) products and services have been approved for the Greener Futures Partnerships Dynamic Purchasing System (GFP DPS) Lot 1 – Energy Saving Products.
This approval gives public sector organisations, housing providers and their supply chains a compliant and straightforward route to procure proven energy-saving technology that supports retrofit and decarbonisation programmes across England and Wales.
What is the Greener Futures Partnership DPS?
The GFP Decarbonisation Delivery framework was developed by Pretium Frameworks Ltd with Contracting Authority Abri, on behalf of the Greener Futures Partnership.
The partnership brings together five major housing associations:
- Abri
- Anchor
- Home Group
- Hyde Group
- Sanctuary
Together, these organisations manage more than 300,000 homes, representing around 9% of the UK social housing market. The framework was created to accelerate delivery of decarbonisation works and help homes achieve a minimum EPC rating of C by 2030.
The Warm Homes: Social Housing Fund (formerly the Social Housing Decarbonisation Fund Wave 3) is a £1.29bn government initiative running from 2025 to 2028. It is part of the broader £15bn Warm Homes Plan designed to upgrade five million homes by 2030, cut energy bills, and tackle fuel poverty.
Why Showersave is a valuable addition to the framework
Domestic hot water is becoming one of the largest energy loads in well-insulated homes. Showersave WWHR technology addresses this directly by capturing heat from shower waste water and using it to pre-heat incoming cold water.
For organisations using the GFP DPS, this means Showersave can contribute to both energy efficiency targets and resident affordability objectives within a single retrofit measure.
Benefits for Housing Providers and Public Sector Organisations
Organisations procuring through the framework can benefit from:
Lower tenant energy bills – Affordability
Hot water energy demand is reduced without requiring any change in resident behaviour.
Reduced carbon emissions – Net zero support
By recovering heat that would otherwise be lost down the drain.
Improved heat pump performance – ASHP ready
Showersave helps air source heat pumps work more efficiently by reducing the energy required to produce hot shower water.
Support for smaller cylinder sizing – Lower capex
Potentially reducing installation costs and plant room requirements.
Low maintenance operation – Long-term value
No moving parts and predictable long-term performance help reduce lifecycle costs across housing portfolios.
A Simple Retrofit Measure with Portfolio-Scale Impact
The GFP framework was designed to provide a flexible one-stop shop for retrofit works, enabling organisations of all sizes to deliver decarbonisation projects efficiently.
Showersave fits naturally into:
- Bathroom refurbishments
- Planned maintenance programmes
- Void property works
- Whole-house retrofit projects
- Heat pump installations
- SHDF-funded schemes
Because the technology operates automatically and requires no behavioural change from residents, it provides a practical way to achieve measurable energy savings across large housing stocks.
Looking Ahead
As the social housing sector accelerates towards EPC C targets and net zero commitments, technologies that reduce demand as well as improve heating system performance will become increasingly important.
Being approved on the Greener Futures Partnerships Dynamic Purchasing System provides organisations with a compliant procurement route to deploy Showersave WWHR technology as part of their wider decarbonisation strategy.
For housing providers, local authorities and other public sector bodies, Showersave offers a proven way to lower energy consumption, reduce carbon emissions, improve heat pump efficiency and help protect residents from rising energy costs, delivering affordable outcomes at scale.
