Other Information

Interested suppliers are invited to register their interest and complete a short survey at https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/NHG_HeatNetworks This PIN constitutes a market engagement opportunity. Not registering your interest this will not preclude you from bidding for this opportunity following the publication of the Contract Notice ** PREVIEW NOTICE, please check Find a Tender for full details. ** NHG have several contracts in place for these works & services which will expire in summer 2023. NHG wishes to carry out pre-procurement market engagement to seek views from the market about its proposals before the formal launch of the procurement through the issue of a Contract Notice on FTS. NHG have 36 Heat Networks across London, Essex and Suffolk, with the majority of the stock being within the Greater London area. NHG ‘s current proposed strategy is to award several contracts to suppliers across the four Lots. The contract will be divided into 2 lots for the different works/services. Lot 1 is for the Operation, Maintenance and Metering of the Heat Networks and Lot 2 is for the Billing of the Heat Networks. These two lots will then be subdivided into lots 1a/1b and 2a/2b for the different regions where the Heat Networks are located. These regions are yet to be determined. NHG is also considering the possibility of limiting the number of Lots which a contractor can bid for and/or be awarded. The Lot structure and any limitations to be applied is still to be determined at this stage and NHG would be interested in any feedback from potential contractors on this. This structure is not finalised and NHG are looking for constructive feedback from suppliers on the process/procurement set up via the survey monkey questionnaire. This feedback will be used to develop our procurement strategy to ensure NHG can deliver the best strategy for our residents. If you are interested in bidding for this procurement please complete the survey at https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/NHG_HeatNetworks Currently, it is proposed that the contract duration for both lots will be up to 10 years (with an initial 5-year term, which can be extended by 1 period of 5 years). ABOUT US: NHG is one of the largest HA's in the country, with more than 66,000 homes across London and the south-east. We provide homes across a range of tenures and are committed to delivering housing that is affordable for all. We build and maintain quality homes, creating diverse and thriving communities. This is our primary purpose and everything else we do supports that. For more information, visit www.nhg.org.uk. PROCUREMENT PROCESS: NHG may elect (at its discretion) to proceed with the procurement of the proposed contract. When the procurement proceeds, a contract notice will be issued on FTS which suppliers will be required to respond to if they wish to bid for the opportunity. We intend to follow the one-stage, Open Procedure. The Invitation to Tender (ITT) is likely to be issued at the end of October 2022, with around 5 weeks allowed for bidders to respond. The procurement timetable will be confirmed to bidders once the ITT stage begins. NHG are looking to undertake interviews as part of the ITT stage. The procurement timetable will be confirmed to bidders once the ITT begins. Please note we reserve the right to change the timetable and procedure. CONTRACT VALUE: The estimated value of £25M given in this Notice is based on NHG's current anticipated requirements and on the maximum potential length of any extensions. All information in this PIN (including but not limited to lot structure, values, services) is not a firm commitment and may be subject to change following market engagement.
