Notice Title

Technical Assistance Facility 2 - Pre-Tender Market Engagement

Notice Description

This Pre-Tender Market Engagement (PTME) seeks information in preparation for the procurement of a Supplier to administer the Technical Assistance Facility 2 (hereafter referred to as "TAF 2") to support the delivery of the Social Housing Decarbonisation Fund (SHDF) and Home Upgrade Grant (HUG). The purpose of this PTME is to gather information to: * help define the service specification for TAF 2; * help provide a better understanding of the feasibility of the requirement; * understand the best approach to introduce and implement TAF 2; * understand the capacity of the market to deliver and possible risks involved; * inform value for money considerations undertaken by the Authority; * provide the market with an opportunity to ask questions, raise queries and any issues to be addressed at an early stage; * inform potential delivery timescales of TAF 2; * inform our decision on the route to market. This PTME is separate to any later procurement exercise. The Authority will not use this PTME to inform the suitability of any future potential supplier. However, we strongly advise anyone who has an interest in being considered as a potential supplier should engage with this PTME exercise. Any information shared may be subject to requests under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA) or Environmental Information Regulations 2004 (EIR) and may be released unless an exemption or exception applies under the relevant legislation. Please note that Pre-Tender Market Engagement events are now complete. The PIN has been re-opened to attach a number of documents in response to questions from the market and informing the market on the chosen route to market: RM6313 Demand Management & Renewables DPS. Please refer to the attached documents for further information.
