II.2.4) Description of the procurement
Value Band A - GBP 0 to 1,500,000.00
This Lot covers the end‑to‑end delivery of multidisciplinary decarbonisation and retrofit works, combining a fabric‑first approach with a broad range of energy efficiency and low‑carbon measures for both domestic and commercial properties.
The objective is to support PfH Members in delivering high‑quality, technically compliant retrofit programmes that reduce energy demand, lower operational costs, and contribute to long‑term net zero outcomes.
Appointed Suppliers will be expected to operate as turnkey providers, delivering works directly or through suitably qualified subcontractors, and must be capable of fulfilling the role of Principal Contractor in accordance with the CDM Regulations. Suppliers will be responsible for the coordination and delivery of all project stages, including project management, compliance, installation, commissioning, handover and associated administrative requirements.
Works under this Lot may include, but are not limited to:
- Retrofit services, including whole‑dwelling or whole‑building improvement programmes
- Fabric‑first measures, such as external wall insulation (EWI), internal wall insulation (IWI), cavity wall insulation (CWI), underfloor insulation (UFI), loft and roof insulation, window and door upgrades, ventilation improvements, and airtightness measures
- Decarbonisation technologies, including low‑carbon heating systems (ASHP and GSHP), solar photovoltaic - PV systems, battery energy storage, controls, and heat demand reduction measures
- Electric heating systems, including high heat retention storage solutions
- Electric Vehicle chargers and infrastructure.
- Enabling and associated works, including minor building works, electrical upgrades, structural alterations, and the integration of multiple measures within a coordinated whole‑property retrofit approach
PfH anticipates awarding places to 7 suppliers, but reserves the right to appoint a greater or fewer number depending on the bids received.
