The original tender document for this scheme included the relevant measures but wasn’t specific to Park Homes and therefore the contractors didn’t consider this in their bid. Neither of the contractors appointed are able to carry installations on Park Homes due to PAS guidance restrictions.

A new tender was run via the Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) on 02/11/22 but no bids were received despite a further extension. Hence taking the decision to make a direct award.

The named company has been chosen as they specialise in Park Home Installations, are fully PAS accredited and have come highly recommended with a proven track record of successful delivery

The project is to install insulation measures, External Wall/Loft/Underfloor insulation to approx. 10 Park Homes and will use Sustainable Warmth Competition funding from the Department for Business Energy & Industrial Strategy (BEIS) via the Midlands Net Zero Hub (MNZH).
The Sustainable Warmth scheme aims to raise the energy efficiency of low-income and low EPC rated homes including those living in the worst quality off-gas grid homes, delivering progress towards: reducing fuel poverty, the phasing out of high carbon fossil fuel heating and the national and local commitments to net zero. The fund also aims to support the green recovery in response to the economic impacts of Covid-19 and to help take low-income families out of fuel poverty.
