Issue details
Installation of insulation measures to Park Homes using Sustainable Warmth grant funding
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.
