Technical requirements: This procurement process is being conducted under the Restricted Procedure pursuant to Regulation 28 of the Public Contracts Regulations as amended (“PCR 2015”). The procurement process for the GLA 81088 — Technical Assistance Team for the London Homes Energy Efficiency Programme is being managed by Transport for London (TfL) on behalf of the Greater London Authority (GLA) the “Contracting Authority” and the services will be jointly funded by the GLA and the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF)/European Structural and Investment Funds (ESIF).
The Contracting Authority is looking for a Service Provider with a proven track record of delivery, technical ability and innovation to deliver this exciting and challenging programme, and help to deliver the Mayor’s ambitions for a zero-carbon London.
— the Greater London Authority (GLA) and the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) are co-funding a technical assistance programme to enable housing providers to deploy “deep” energy efficiency retrofit of existing London homes,
— this procurement exercise is being undertaken to appoint a single specialist Service Provider to assume the role of the programme’s Technical Assistance Team,
—— ERDF key performance indicators: the retrofit of 50 homes (resulting in a saving of 124 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent [tCO2e] per annum) within the contract period, and
—— GLA key performance indicators: evidence that a further 1 678 homes will be retrofitted during or after the contract period as a direct outcome of the programme’s activity (resulting in an estimated saving of 4,161 tCO2e per annum),
— inline with the Mayor of London’s ambition for London to be a zero carbon city by 2050, this programme will build on the success of the GLA’s previous domestic retrofit programme, RE:NEW, but aim for a deeper level of retrofit and longer-term strategic outcomes through:
—— an average carbon reduction of 60 % across the delivered homes, compared to an average reduction under RE:NEW of less than 25 %,
—— deployment of whole-house/multi-measure retrofits (singular energy efficiency measures, such as loft insulation in isolation, cannot count towards ERDF KPIs),
—— development of self-sustaining business models and finance solutions to make deep retrofit attractive to housing providers,
— the GLA is looking for a service provider with a proven track record of delivery, technical ability and innovation to deliver this exciting and challenging programme, and help to deliver the Mayor’s ambitions for a zero-carbon London.
The appointed service provider’s multi-disciplinary technical assistant team will be providing intensive end-to-end support for housing providers to enable energy efficiency retrofit projects to be identified, developed, financed, procured and successfully implemented.
The team itself will not have an active role in the installation of retrofits themselves but must ensure they are of an agreed standard to satisfy ERDF and GLA requirements.
— technical assistance for deep-retrofit — builds on the engagement model undertaken through RE:NEW, but focusing on delivering projects through innovative approaches, new methods of construction and technologies (including net zero-energy retrofitting), in order to achieve deeper retrofit and enhanced carbon savings per household,
— unlocking finance and funding — involves identifying and actively developing funding and financing opportunities to enable local authorities, social housing providers and other suitable organisations to take forward deep energy efficiency housing retrofit projects,
