Arcadis is leading the market engagement on behalf of the DfE. The DfE are seeking engagement from end users, potential Contractors, Suppliers and other interested parties about the DfE's proposals for off-site Energy Pods for schools. This will cover the enclosure/MEP equipment and extend to the enabling works required on site to receive the Energy Pod. The objective of this engagement is to research and assess the off-site opportunities, establish the extent of current solutions and technologies available and understand the appetite and scale from the market. This will help inform procurement planning in readiness for future delivery to meet the strategic direction. Market engagement will comprise a presentation which will delivered on three occasions, on 22, 23 and 24 November 2022, followed by questionnaires to be completed by attendees. A recording of the presentation will be made available. The engagement will explore other influential drivers of this research project such as practicalities of delivery, embodied carbon, material resource/sources, buildability and sequencing. Long-term requirements such as warranties and maintenance will need to be covered as well. The feedback from the questionnaires will be reviewed critically to ensure that the quality and requirements of the Energy Pod are preserved, whilst incorporating useful and pragmatic outcomes/observations.
