Description

Portsmouth City Council - the 'council' - will be undertaking a procurement process over spring / summer 2022 to establish a framework agreement concerned with the delivery of domestic energy efficiency measures.

The council is seeking to work with a primary provider who will manage funds on behalf of the council for the allocation of funding and delivery of energy efficiency works related to funding streams made available by the Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy (BEIS). Such funding streams are likely to include for, but not be limited to, the following schemes:

o Local Authority Delivery (LAD)
o Home Upgrade Grant (HUG)
o Social Housing Decarbonisation Funding (SHDF)
o Warm Homes Funding (WHF).

The broad scope of services and works which are envisaged to be covered by the framework agreement is summarised within the Proof of Concept document accessible upon expression of interest in this project.

The council leads a group of 21 partner local authorities under the banner of the Warmer Homes Consortium (WHC). The council wishes to strengthen their ties with WHC members by building on the successful delivery of a number of Portsmouth-led schemes which have been delivered with them to date.

WHC membership is open to any Local Authority or Registered Provider located within the South West, South East, London and East of England. The current WHC members are listed within the Proof of Concept.

The council will be the only contracting party able to directly access the framework agreement. Although the framework will be used for delivery of efficiency measures across the geographical areas covered by the participating WHC members, the work will be managed through the council who will be the sole party to the framework agreement and any resulting call off contracts.

The council is targeting award of the framework agreement by August 2022. Once in place the framework agreement will run for a duration of 4 years. Estimates for spend across the term of the agreement are:

o Direct consideration to framework providers(s): ?5M - ?20M
o Associated total expenditure of grant monies for energy efficiency works: ?50M - ?200M

Whilst the council is seeking to work with a single primary provider, 3-4 overall providers will be appointed onto the framework agreement. The top ranked provider will act as the primary delivery partner provider with call off contracts generally let via direct award with the remaining providers held in contingency in case of any significant performance issues.

In addition, the council may also opt to invite all providers to submit mini-competition proposals for project commissions which may require the development of alternative delivery models, access to specialist resources, etc.

The council will run the procurement process to establish the framework agreement in accordance with the Open Procedure as defined within the Pub...
