two.2.4) Description of the procurement

This lot covers the retrofitting of external wall insulation (EWI) on buildings up to 11 metres in height.

Key tasks include the supporting the client in the surveying, assessment, design, selection (of key systems, components, and supply chain), specification development, installation of systems, and thorough commissioning, testing, and handover processes. Installations will involve preparing the existing wall, applying insulation materials, and completing the process with suitable render or cladding. This may require the safe removal and disposal of existing EWI materials from the building before a new system is fitted.

Installations may be required for a range of building types, including residential, commercial, community and other public buildings. Typically these works will be undertaken on existing buildings but may also be on new builds or extensions to existing properties.

Key tasks include supporting the client in the surveying, assessment, design, selection (of key systems, components, and supply chain), specification development, installation of systems, and thorough commissioning, testing, and handover processes.

Companies appointed to this lot shall be responsible for all project management and administration activities as detailed in the specification, this includes carrying out the installation process, ensuring adherence to technical standards, conducting necessary inspections, and providing maintenance guidance as required.

Works may also involve adapting existing building features to ensure the system is properly integrated, and may include associated works that would be beneficial and pragmatic to complete alongside the installation of the new system or to secure grant funding.

Bidders for this lot will be expected to be able to demonstrate compliance with the appropriate PAS2030 standard for installation of the systems outlined in this lot, or, commit to achieving the relevant PAS 2030 accreditation within 2 years of being appointed to the framework.

The scope of installations within this lot may also extend to other EV chargers such as for mobility scooters, bicycles and electric scooters.

Installations may be required for a range of building types, including residential, commercial, community and other public buildings. Typically these works will be undertaken on existing buildings but may also be on new build properties.

Key tasks include surveying, assessment, and design, the selection of new systems and components, specification of installer requirements, installation of systems, and thorough commissioning, testing, and handover processes.

Works may also involve adapting existing building features to ensure the system is properly integrated, and may include associated works that would be beneficial and pragmatic to complete alongside the installation of the new system or to secure grant funding.

If requested by the client (and where an appointed company has the capacity and competency to do so), the scope for this lot can extend to subsequent inspection, servicing and maintenance of any system installed by the appointed company.

Bidders for this lot will be expected to be an approved OZEV installer, or, commit to achieving the OZEV accreditation within 2 years of being appointed to the framework.
