Technical requirements: Transport for London is undertaking this procurement on behalf of the Greater London Authority, to appoint a single multi-disciplinary service provider to take on the delivery of the second phase of the Mayor’s Warmer Homes scheme. This second phase of Warmer Homes will build on the success of the first phase which has provided a holistic whole house approach to improving the energy efficiency of fuel poor households in the owner occupier sector and, in a pilot phase, to the privately rented sector. It will provide high installation standards to ensure the benefits of retrofits are maximised, vulnerable people are supported sensitively and the supply chain continues to develop.
The London Environment Strategy sets out the Mayor’s vision of making London a zero-carbon city by 2050, whilst at the same time protecting the most disadvantaged Londoners by tackling fuel poverty. This is a stretching ambition given the scale of fuel poverty and the low take-up of energy efficiency measures from those able to pay.
Through Warmer Homes phase 2, the Mayor is grant funding 4 750 000 GBP of energy efficiency measures for fuel poor homes in London over financial years 2019/20 to 2020/21. The service provider will also be expected to leverage energy company obligation and funding from boroughs or other sources where possible.
— appoint a single service provider to provide a delivery mechanism for administration of the grant fund and installation of 4 750 000 GBP of energy efficiency measures over an initial 2 years, and
— nominate this service provider as a ‘trusted contractor’ in London meaning that any Londoner seeking to improve the energy performance of their property would be able to access the same high standards of installation being delivered to fuel poor households.
The contract will initially run for two (2) years from the contract start date (estimated value of approximately 4 880 000 GBP), with the option of extending for up to a further three (3) years (making the estimated value of the entire contract approximately 13 970 000 GBP).
The initial duration of the contract will be 2 years. The contract will include an option to extend the duration, at the GLA's sole discretion, for a further period or periods up to a total of 3 additional years.
TfL/the GLA will incorporate a standstill period at the point information of any award of contract is communicated to tenderers. The notification will provide full information on the award decision. The standstill period which will be for a minimum period of 10 calendar days provides time for unsuccessful tenderers to challenge the award decision before the contract is entered into. The Public Contracts Regulations 2015 provide for aggrieved parties that have been harmed or put a risk of harm due to a breach of the rules to take action in the High Court (England, Wales and Northern Ireland).
