Summary of the contracting process

The Communities and Housing Investment Consortium (CHIC), based in Birmingham, has updated its Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for the Wales Optimised Retrofit Compliance Programme. As a central purchasing body, CHIC is managing this procurement process under the Public Contracts Regulations 2015, which will end by 27th October 2028. Registered Providers of Social Housing, Local Authorities, and various other contracting authorities across the United Kingdom can access this DPS. The estimated contract value for the period is approximately £45,000,000 excluding VAT, focusing on energy-efficiency consultancy services. Key updates include the potential for annual reviews and amendments to the DPS, ensuring compliance with the Public Contracts Regulations.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in energy-efficiency consultancy services, particularly those with expertise in domestic energy retrofit projects. Participants in this DPS will engage in evaluating, measuring, and auditing energy-efficiency solutions for homes, thereby contributing to the Optimised Retrofit project in Wales. Companies like housing associations, local authorities, and other public sector entities are expected to use this DPS, making it a valuable platform for expanding business networks and securing significant contracts. The targeted businesses would ideally have experience in delivering comprehensive energy assessments and compliance audits, enhancing the quality and effectiveness of retrofit projects.

Lot Information

Lot 1

Service Providers under this DPS shall ensure that every retrofit project is subject to monitoring and evaluation to determine whether the intended outcomes of the retrofit project have been realised, and to identify and learn from any project-specific or systematic problems with the retrofit risk assessment, the dwelling assessment, the retrofit design, the installation of EEMs or the testing, commissioning, or handover of EEMs. In addition, this DPS will also provide for compliance Auditors, who will audit the entire end-to-end retrofit process to ascertain that the appropriate steps have been completed satisfactorily in the retrofit process. It is envisaged the audit process will follow three approaches; however individual commissions will dictate specific requirements: * Portfolio Approach - Audit full programme and developing an action plan to increase the efficiency through selective application of retrofits and related tools * Project Approach - Audit taking one project through a streamlined, cost effective, efficient process to determine retrofit compliance and benefit analysis. * Midway through process and/or near completion - complete an audit at any point during the retrofit process in order to demonstrate compliance and assist with making smart and cost-effective decisions. A Client will select the appropriate protocol based on the funding source and may wish to obtain an investment grade audit. Owner's objectives, funder/lender requirements and utility arrangements will all influence the decision of which audit protocol to use.

Renewal: The DPS duration is for 96 months however the Authority reserves the right to extend the duration of this DPS for any period up to a maximum of ninety-six (96) months from the expiry of the initial term on notification via using the relevant Notice on FTS.
