Energy Efficiency Measures & Associated Works
Introduction
The Energy Efficiency Measures & Associated Works Framework, managed by LHC London and South East Procurement, provides a structured procurement route for public sector organisations seeking to implement carbon-reduction projects. Running from 9th November 2020 until 8th November 2024, this framework is not a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) but a predefined framework agreement that facilitates the procurement of energy-saving measures and related improvements in residential and public buildings. It is particularly relevant for local councils, social housing providers, and other public entities aiming to achieve energy efficiency targets in a cost-effective manner.
Context & Use Case
Public sector organisations are increasingly under pressure to reduce carbon emissions and promote sustainability. This framework responds to the growing need for structured approaches to energy efficiency, offering a comprehensive solution for implementing and managing energy-saving projects. Contracting authorities utilise this framework to streamline procurement processes, ensuring that the installation of energy efficiency measures and associated works are conducted by vetted and approved suppliers. By addressing both energy-saving installations and necessary repairs or upgrades, this framework supports organisations in their broader sustainability goals.
Scope of Services
The framework encompasses a wide range of services related to energy efficiency, organised into two main work areas. These services include: 1. Installation of 21 different types of energy efficiency improvements, which may involve insulation, heating upgrades, renewable energy installations, and window replacements. 2. Related repairs and upgrades necessary to support the effective implementation of energy-saving measures. 3. Consultancy and project management support to ensure projects are planned and executed efficiently. While the framework specifies 16 approved suppliers, the projects are divided by cost and region to ensure tailored and relevant service delivery.
Who Can Apply
This framework is suitable for a diverse range of suppliers specialising in energy efficiency and associated works. Companies with expertise in installing energy-saving measures, conducting building upgrades, or providing consultancy and project management services are encouraged to engage. However, as this is not a DPS, the list of suppliers was determined at the outset, and new suppliers cannot join until the framework is renewed or re-tendered. Suppliers looking to apply should ensure they align with the specific requirements and regional focuses outlined in the framework.
Buyer Benefits
For public sector buyers, this framework offers several advantages. It provides a compliant procurement route that adheres to public sector regulations, ensuring transparency and accountability. The framework enables a quicker speed to market compared to traditional tendering processes, allowing urgent energy efficiency projects to commence promptly. Moreover, the pre-selection of suppliers fosters healthy competition and guarantees that projects are undertaken by experienced professionals, thereby enhancing the quality and outcome of the projects.
