Technical requirements: Genesis is looking to procure a framework for De-centralised Energy Systems and Heat Metering. The framework is divided into five Lots (A-E). Lots A, B & C relate to meter reading and billing whilst lots D & E are consultancy services and contractor works.
Lot A relates to software for in-sourcing utility billing. Lot B is seeking out-sourced credit billing services including meter reading, billing and payment collection. Lot C relates to Prepayment (PAYG) equipment to collect meter read data and payments.
Lot D, consultancy services, includes engineering reports, energy system design, heat metering retro-fit design and quality assurance at key stages of housing developments (e.g. install, commission, handover). Lot E essentially covers the contractor works that falls out of the Lot D consultancy services.
Billing software provided as licensed installations or via portal based software as a service solution.
Remote reading and data hosting of in-flat (personal) consumption where client generates and sells heat & hot water; and/or re-sells cold water; and/or re-sells electricity.
Full credit billing service whereby third-party company bills residents and collects income on client's behalf.
Remote reading and data hosting of in-flat (personal) consumption where client generates and sells heat & hot water; and/or re-sells cold water; and/or re-sells electricity.
Specialist consultancy services on all aspects of de-centralised energy systems include gas pipework, energy centre plant, heat network, BMS systems, metering networks, HIUs and in-unit heat networks. Systems may also include low carbon tech (e.g. CHP, solar thermal, solar PV). Services will include engineering reports, system designs, heat metering retro-fit designs and quality assurance services at key stages during new developments (e.g. install, commissioning, handover).
GHA currently provides heat/hot water, &/or cold water; &/or electricity to ~3700 across 14 schemes & estimates this number may grow to almost 7000 by the end of 2017 with a steady increase each year after. Most of GHA's existing schemes require solution based engineer reports & potentially works to improve design, energy efficiency &/or meter reading & billing capabilities. GHA is a member of several forums relating to de-centralised energy & heat provision, metering & billing. They have highlighted that much of the housing sector is in a similar situation & require the same works & services that this tender seeks to procure. GHA has been in discussion with our housing sector peers regarding this framework to gauge interest & will be making this framework available to all HAs within London & the South East. Interest has already been shown from Notting Hill Housing, Swan Housing, Circle Housing & Guinness Housing with combined portfolio of ~7500 properties.
