Notice Information

Notice Title

CHIC Optimised Retrofit Materials DPS 2022

Notice Description

Communities & Housing Investment Consortium (CHIC), is seeking to develop a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) of Bidders for the provision of construction materials supply and distribution pertaining to Domestic Energy Efficiency Retrofit and Building Safety Installation Services, who are able to work in partnership with CHIC and its members across the UK. The Optimised Retrofit project will see homes across the UK made more energy-efficient and safe. The process will develop a solution in the provision of materials supply that does not presently exist in the market and provide an effective route to market for supporting pipeline projects from Housing Providers and develop a robust materials supply chain to deliver net zero energy (NZE) and Building Safety solutions.

Lot Information

LOT 1 - Building Materials Fabric (BMF)

Building Construction Fabric (BCF) Goods & Materials Distribution - this Lot will include suppliers who can provide participating authorities with supply and distribution services for a range of goods and materials to improve the thermal properties of the building fabric through the use of high levels of thermal insulation and airtightness, upgrading the performance of the fabric of existing properties including but not limited to walls, floors and roof insulation, windows and doors, draught proofing render systems, green paints, green roofs, floor coverings grey water harvesting, drainage and materials and for passive fire precautions e.g. fire boards, intumescent and insulants, cladding, fire doors and all associated supplementary materials. Providers may also provide consultancy in the calculation, or avoidance, of thermal bridging, air leakage and fire integrity and insulation and for the import, manufacture or supply of components and materials associated with advanced retrofit and building safety.

LOT 2 - Building Materials Electrical (BME) - Services and Renewables

Building Materials Electrical (BME) Services and Renewables - this Lot will include suppliers who can provide participating authorities with supply and distribution services for a range of goods and materials in respect of electrical/power and/or renewable technologies and active building management systems (BMS) that manage and control the electrical services and building safety, including but not limited to fire detection, alert and containment in respect of active fire measures. Materials supply may therefore include energy efficient internal and external fixed lighting systems, solar lighting fittings with appropriate controls; appliances and equipment to reduce electricity use and minimize internal heat gains, extractor fans, consumer units, energy management systems, smart controls, Intelligent Energy Systems (IES); electric power systems, fault detection systems that use low or zero carbon (LZC) technologies, solar thermal, solar voltaic, batteries, EV charging as well as smoke detectors, fire alarms and fire suppression and sprinkler systems and all associated supplementary materials. Service Providers may also be technology specific or offer a range of electrical/power and renewable materials and technologies. This lot includes complementary technologies that optimise and enhance the benefits of the solution.

LOT 3 - Building Materials Mechanical (BMM) - [Heating and Renewables]
