Short description of the contract or purchase(s): Procurement for Housing have historically provided a Renewables offering in the form of three Retrofit Frameworks that covered the supply and installation of Solar PV, Mechanical Ventilation Heat Recovery and Insulation. The Frameworks were set up in May/June 2011 for 4 years and each Framework was awarded to a range of suppliers and contractors for the provision of renewables in those 3 areas. As these Frameworks are coming to the end of their terms PfH have reviewed the offering and approach the market with a different model.
The purpose of this new agreement is to ensure we can provide a framework suitable for members of PfH, or other applicable Public Sector bodies that is reflective of an ever evolving market, therefore it is PfH’s intention to expand and update the offering. The scope of works to be included will be expanded into technology areas that were not covered in the original Framework. In addition, the Framework will allow members to gain access to consultancy, advice, and guidance on: funding and grants; and technology specific expertise. It is important that Renewables and Energy Efficiency Works are not considered in isolation, but in the context of contributing to a secure, resilient, affordable and low carbon energy requirement. The benefits might be compared, for example, with using funds to carry out energy efficiency measures.
Since access to funding and grants will differ in various parts of the UK and Northern Ireland and PfH are also looking to encourage localised contractors to bid for this opportunity, the agreement will be split regionally to ensure the right offering is provided nationally.
In this PQQ the organisation that is submitting a PQQ with a view to pre-qualify to tender for the Framework Agreement is referred to as ‘the Organisation’. This framework presents a distinct offering and welcomes niche suppliers to apply for specific lots if they wish to do so.
Procurement for Housing continues to work in conjunction with a number of their members across England, Wales and Northern Ireland in developing this framework agreement to meet their immediate requirements for the provision of Renewables and Energy Efficiency Works and Associated Consultancy Services. A separate framework will be tendered for Scotland later in the year.
