Summary of the contracting process

The West of England Combined Authority is seeking to fulfil the contract titled "For the Provision of Delivery Organisations to support the Green Homes Grant Local Delivery Phase 2" in the Cornwall LEP Area. This services procurement falls under the architectural, construction, engineering, and inspection services category and is currently at the contract award stage. The contract, which is valued at £6,082,120, was signed on 6th August 2021, and involves improving energy efficiency measures in homes for low-income households suffering from fuel poverty, with a project completion deadline set for December 2021. The procurement method employed was a limited award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, justified by the absence of suitable tenders in previous attempts.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses engaged in energy efficiency, construction, and related services, particularly those focusing on insulation and non-fossil fuel heating installations. Suppliers with expertise in managing comprehensive customer journeys for home energy improvements, as well as those capable of delivering high-quality technical assessments and installations, would be well-positioned to compete for similar future contracts. The successful award to Happy Energy Solutions Ltd further indicates a preference for local SMEs able to meet the specific needs of the regional market.

The West of England Combined Authority has appointed Happy Energy Solutions as the Delivery Organisation for the Cornwall LEP Area to deliver the entire Customer Journey (lead generation through to installation completion).

Procurement Information

Explanation: Justification for the direct award under Regulation 32(2) A. WECA intend to directly award a contract to Happy Energy Solutions Ltd for the services described in this notice. It is doing so for the following reasons: 1. For the Cornwall LEP area. The initial open procedure procurement exercise linked to notice FTS number 2021/S 000-004760 - dated 09/03/21 failed to generate any suitable tender submissions within the meaning of Regulation 32(3) (i.e. in relation to suitable tenders). 2. WECA is of the view, acting in good faith, that the intended contract award is made in compliance with Regulation 32(2)(a) as the initial contract conditions will not be substantially altered. The key contract terms (payment model, liability levels, indemnity levels) remain unaltered. Delivery time frames (i.e end of December 2021) remain unaltered. 3. Despite not being explicitly required to do so by Regulation 32, WECA has sought to apply the same selection criteria as used in the initial procurement to the intended contractor for the purposes of fairness and transparency. However, it has not applied the original rule in relation to turnover requirements, reducing this to 1x Contract Value. Furthermore, WECA has applied a more proportional approach to Public Liability insurance, requiring a baseline of PS5m rising to a maximum of PS25m when high risk installations are identified and has reduced the Professional Indemnity requirement to PS2m, to reflect the lack of multi storey domestic dwellings, and therefore high risk installations, in the Cornwall region. Please see VEAT Notice 2021/S 000-017749 for further details.
