two.1.4) Short description
Camden Council is seeking to appoint a contractor undertake window upgrading and heating and hot water infrastructure replacement works on the Rowley Way Estate NW8 (officially the Alexandra and Ainsworth estate), as the system is life expired and failing.
The poor condition and performance of the system is resulting in increased operational expenditure to repair and remediate. The system is also very inefficient in terms of energy consumption due to the inability to control the temperature within individual dwellings. Taken together, the increasing maintenance costs and the inefficiency of the system in terms of energy usage meant that an upgrade is now necessary.
The scheme will involve the replacement of heating and hot water distribution network pipework and heating and hot water pipework, heat emitters and controls within the dwellings. It will also include the upgrade of glazing with vacuum glazing to reduce heat loss from dwellings and reduce the size of the heat emitters required.
If your organisation is interested in applying and/or if you wish to comment on the council's recommissioning of this provision please complete the attached Market Testing Questionnaire by 5th September 2022
