It is anticipated that the works will be delivered over a 3 year programme via 2 separate tender processes, with all works due for completion by the end of 2023. It is anticipated that the first tender will contain 3 lots and the second tender 6 lots to cover the Belfast, North and South regions.
Both tender exercises will lead to the award of contracts for the provision of No Fines External Wall Insulation and Associated Works. The scope of works required at each property will vary and as such the total estimated contract value for each tender package will be given as a range. Some properties may require the minimum work of external wall insulation (EWI), whereas properties at the other end of the scale may require the full scope of works to include EWI, doors, windows, loft insulation, roofs, airtightness and ventilation. The successful contractor(s) will be expected to carry out the works to the PAS2030 2017 specification for the installation of Energy efficiency measures (EEM) in existing buildings standard.
It is anticipated that Tender 1 will be advertised in September 2019 and as a traditional open tender with 3 lots (Belfast Region, North Region, South Region) via eTendersNI. Tenderers may bid for all lots but can only win a maximum of 1. The lots will be awarded in sequence by descending value e.g. the highest value lot will be awarded first and the lowest value lot will be awarded last. It is anticipated that the contracts will be awarded in November 2019 with works to begin on site in January 2020. The total value of the contracts to be awarded through Tender 1 is estimated to be in the range of 10 000 000 GBP to 19 000 000 GBP.
It is anticipated that Tender 2 will be advertised in early 2020 as a further competition under the Fusion 21 energy efficiency measures framework via eTendersNI. It is envisaged that the tender will contain 6 lots. Tenderers may bid for all lots but can only win a maximum of 2, which if successful, must be delivered concurrently. The award of 2 lots is dependent upon the tenderer having the relevant category values verified on constructionline for both lots combined. The lots will be awarded in sequence by descending value. The total value of the contracts to be awarded through tender 2 is estimated to be in the range of 27 000 000 GBP to 41 000 000 GBP.
All interested suppliers must submit a tender for the Fusion 21 energy efficiency measures framework. This opportunity will be advertised via https://fusion21.mytenders.co.uk/ over the coming months.
