Lot Information

Lot 1

The final date and time for the submission of bids is Friday 3rd September at 11:00. DO NOT apply directly to the buyer. All tender information MUST be submitted through the Delta eSourcing Portal. The GD ORB will administer the following activity areas: (a) Authorise GD Providers and Certification Bodies (and withdraw authorisation where appropriate) and issue licences for the GD Quality Mark, liaising with the REC as necessary. A GD Provider is responsible for providing the finance and arranging for the installation of the agreed energy efficiency improvements through a GD Installer (the terms of these arrangements are set out in a GD Plan) and the ongoing obligations in relation to the GD Plan. The GD ORB will assess companies* applications to become a domestic and/or non-domestic GD Provider and make recommendations to BEIS on whether they should be authorised. When an authorised GD Provider no longer wishes or can no longer be authorised as a GD Provider, the GD ORB will manage the withdrawal of authorisation and any implications this brings. For GD Installers and GD Assessors, this role is performed by GD Certification Bodies. The GD ORB will manage the authorisation and withdrawal of GD Certification Bodies. Authorisation processes and criteria already exist. The GD ORB will also license GD Participants to use the GD Quality Mark. (b) Maintain and publish the Register of GD Participants (GD Providers, GD Installers and GD Assessors) and GD Certification Bodies on the GD ORB website. The GD Participant and GD Certification Bodies Registers are a regulatory requirement showing all parties certified to operate under the GD. The GD ORB enters data on certified GD Providers and GD Certification Bodies, whilst GD Certification Bodies do this for GD Installers and GD Assessors that they certify. The members section of the GD ORB website provides functionality to do this. (c) Provide information on the administration of the GD scheme to industry participants via the GD ORB website (including the members area), a helpdesk service (operated by email) and engage with industry as required. This will include maintaining the key operating rules and procedures for the scheme as published on the GD ORB website currently. The GD ORB will maintain the functionality and use of the GD ORB website to provide relevant information to GD Participants. The members area is a secure area for GD Participants and GD Certification Bodies to access key information and update the details held within the Registers. (d) Report on information contained in the GD Participants and GD Certification Bodies Registers and the on-going administration of the GD to BEIS. The GD ORB will ensure that the information on the Register databases is compiled and shared with the BEIS statistical team and the operator of the GD Registers (the Registers containing details of domestic and non-domestic GD Advice Reports (GDARs), GD Improvement Plans (GDIPs) and GD Plans) as requested. The GD ORB will also provide information for BEIS on the on-going operation of the GD scheme and management of the contract. (e) Monitor GD Participants* and GD Certification Bodies* compliance with the Framework Regulations, GD Code of Practice and GD Branding Guidelines and address breaches identified, in conjunction with BEIS. Breaches will range from minor infringements of the Branding Guidelines, to serious breaches such as misselling of GD Plans. The GD ORB will liaise with a number of other regulators and enforcement bodies to ensure a joined-up approach to monitoring and enforcement such as, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and local Trading Standards Authorities. A variety of approaches will be used to monitor and address breaches. (f) Liaise as necessary with the Retail Energy Code (REC), which is a multi-party agreement that governs, among other matters, payment collection and remittance of GD charges and the operation of this by parties to the Code, including GD Providers, GD Finance Parties and electricity suppliers. This may include the occasional transfer to REC of Assets (documents) relating to the Green Deal Arrangements Agreement (GDAA) owned by BEIS in line with an Asset Transfer Agreement between BEIS and REC. (The GDAA preceeded the REC, until 1 September 2021, as the agreement governing the payment collection and remittance of GD charges.)
