II.3)Information on framework agreement

II.4)Short description of nature and scope of works
Procurement for Housing have historically provided a Renewables offering in the form of 3 Retrofit Frameworks that covered the supply and installation of Solar PV, Mechanical Ventilation Heat Recovery and Insulation. The Frameworks were set up in May/June 2011 for four years and each Framework was awarded to a range of suppliers and contractors for the provision of Renewables in those 3 areas. As these Frameworks were coming to the end of their terms PfH have recently tendered a Renewables offering within England, Wales and Northern Ireland and wanted to offer a bespoke approach to the market for our Scottish Members.
The purpose of this new agreement is to ensure we can provide a framework suitable for members of PfH Scotland, or other applicable Public Sector bodies that is reflective of an ever evolving market, therefore it is PfH Scotland's intention to expand and update the offering. The scope of works to be included will be expanded into technology areas that were not covered in the original Framework. In addition, the Framework will allow members to gain access to consultancy, advice, and guidance on: funding and grants; and technology specific expertise. It is important that Renewables and Energy Efficiency Works are not considered in isolation, but in the context of contributing to a secure, resilient, affordable and low carbon energy requirement. The benefits might be compared, for example, with using funds to carry out energy efficiency measures.
Since access to funding and grants will differ PfH Scotland are also looking to encourage localised contractors to bid for this opportunity, the agreement will be split regionally to ensure the right offering is provided.
This framework presents a distinct offering and welcomes niche suppliers to apply for specific lots if they wish to do so, the framework will cover the following works; Solar Panel Systems, Solar Thermal Systems, Heat Pumps - Air Source & Ground Source, Insulation Systems - Internal, Cavity Wall, Roof & Loft, Under floor and External Wall, Biomass Boilers, District Heating Systems, Underfloor Heating and Overfloor Heating, Electricity Storage Systems and Voltage Optimisers, Micro Combined Heat & Power Solutions, Mechanical Ventilation and Heat Recovery, Rainwater Harvesting, SMART Technology Systems, Funding & Grant Consultancy and Technical Consultancy.
