Energy Efficiency Framework

Description

Gentoo Group is a Registered Social Landlord that owns and manages approximately 28,000 properties across the boundaries of Sunderland, Houghton, Hetton and Washington - Tyne and Wear. The Group is currently working to ensure that all of its properties meet an EPC standard of "C" or higher by the year 2030. The purpose of this Framework is to procure a number of Contractors to ensure that this target is met. Gentoo are seeking to procure multi-disciplinary Contractors to carry out the following combinations of works: - Loft Insulation; - Cavity Wall Insulation; - Removal of secondary heating systems (Electric/Gas fires); - Installation of low-energy lighting; - Installation of insulation to water cylinders; - Upgrading existing heating controls to wet systems; - Mechanical extraction (Installation/replacement of extractor fans); - Retrofit of trickle vents to windows; and - Installation of new heating systems. The works are to be broken into 3 Lots, Lots 1 and 2 will provide an equal split of works listed above, excluding the installation of heating systems - which will form the basis of works for Lot 3. It is still to be confirmed, but at the time of writing Gentoo intend to appoint a maximum of 4 Contractors to each of the 3 Lots. Tenderers will be able to bid for all 3 Lots, and may attain a place on each Framework Lot - but will only be able to deliver a maximum of 2 Lots at any one time - Lots 1 and 3 or Lots 2 and 3 together. Alternatively, Gentoo may award all 3 Lots to separate Providers dependent upon the number and quality of bids received. Gentoo are currently working on retrieving the data and firming up the scope of works to each property, however Lots 1 and 2 will also require the Contractor to carry out any necessary pre-survey works and to hand over any necessary evidential certification on completion of each property to confirm it meets a minimum of EPC band "C". The Tender is expected to be published in mid-September 2023 with returns expected by mid-late October 2023. Award of the Framework will be made in February 2024, subject to Gentoo Group Board approval and commencement is to be agreed shortly thereafter with the successful Contractors. The Framework will run for a duration of 4 years until February 2028. The overall budget, split across the 3 Lots is approximately £12million over the 4 years. It has not yet been determined how this budget will be split year-on-year but efforts will be made to ensure an equal budget for each year of the Framework.
