II.1.4) Short description
This is a Prior Information Notice (PIN) to provide awareness of an upcoming framework tender for Retrofit, Decarbonisation and Energy Efficiency works.
The Retrofit and Decarbonisation Framework Works Framework N9 (working title) will be the successor to LHC's successful Energy Efficiency Framework (N8).
The new framework will be designed to support clients with delivering a range of retrofit and decarbonisation measures on their journey to achieving net zero targets.
This opportunity has been listed on behalf of LHC Procurement Group (LHC) and our regional entities:
Welsh Procurement Alliance (WPA)
Scottish Procurement Alliance (SPA)
Consortium Procurement Construction (CPC)
LHC London and South East (LSE)
South-West Procurement Alliance (SWPA)
The full scope of this framework will be defined following engagement with clients and interested parties as part of LHC's market engagement activities, however this framework will allow for works to be carried out in both residential and non-residential buildings including:
Workstream 1 Building Insulation & Performance (Passive)
Workstream 2 Heating Systems
Workstream 3 Control and Management Systems
Workstream 4 Solar PV & Electrical
Workstream 5 Servicing & Maintenance of Renewable Systems
Workstream 6 Retrofit and Decarbonisation Multi-Disciplinary Works
Workstream 7 Retrofit and Decarbonisation Consultancy Services
The initial proposed lots under these workstreams have been listed in this notice, however these will be refined and finalised following the pre-tender engagement process so may change and be different when the contract notice is released in due course.
LHC will be carrying out a series of pre-tender engagement events both online and in person. To register your early interest in this framework opportunity and to get further updates and be notified regarding opportunities to engage with LHC please register on LHC's e Tendering portal using the link as follows:
