Description

Communities & Housing Investment Consortium (CHIC), is seeking to develop a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) of Bidders of Domestic Energy Efficiency Retrofit Consultancy Services who are able to work in partnership with CHIC and its Welsh Clients to develop Energy efficiency solutions to homes within the Welsh geographical regions. The Optimised Retrofit project will see homes across Wales made more energy-efficient. The CHIC Wales Retrofit Compliance DPS seeks Delivery Partners capable of carrying out the post-retrofit evaluation, measurement and audit of all projects that are required to comply with Publicly Available Specification 2035 (PAS 2035).

Total Quantity or Scope

Service Providers under this DPS shall ensure that every retrofit project is subject to monitoring and evaluation to determine whether the intended outcomes of the retrofit project have been realised, and to identify and learn from any project-specific or systematic problems with the retrofit risk assessment, the dwelling assessment, the retrofit design, the installation of EEMs or the testing, commissioning, or handover of EEMs. In addition, this DPS will also provide for compliance Auditors, who will audit the entire end-to-end retrofit process to ascertain that the appropriate steps have been completed satisfactorily in the retrofit process. It is envisaged the audit process will follow three approaches; however individual commissions will dictate specific requirements: • Portfolio Approach – Audit full programme and developing an action plan to increase the efficiency through selective application of retrofits and related tools • Project Approach – Audit taking one project through a streamlined, cost effective, efficient process to determine retrofit compliance and benefit analysis. • Midway through process and/or near completion – complete an audit at any point during the retrofit process in order to demonstrate compliance and assist with making smart and cost-effective decisions. A Client will select the appropriate protocol based on the funding source and may wish to obtain an investment grade audit. Owner’s objectives, funder/lender requirements and utility arrangements will all influence the decision of which audit protocol to use.

Renewal Options

The DPS duration is for 96 months however the Authority reserves the right to extend the duration of this DPS for any period up to a maximum of ninety-six (96) months from the expiry of the initial term on notification via using the relevant Notice on FTS.
