Summary of the contracting process

The "CHIC UK Retrofit Compliance DPS" is a public procurement initiative led by the Communities and Housing Investment Consortium Limited (CHIC), based in Birmingham, United Kingdom. This project, classified under the energy-efficiency consultancy services, aims to establish a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for bidders providing domestic energy efficiency retrofit consultancy services throughout the UK. The DPS invites delivery partners to evaluate and audit retrofit projects ensuring compliance with PAS 2035 standards. Initially set to conclude in 2028, CHIC has announced the termination of the DPS, effective from 25th February 2026, with ongoing contracts continuing until individual expiries. This procurement process was governed under the Procurement Act 2023 and utilised a restricted procedure method.

The "CHIC UK Retrofit Compliance DPS" presents numerous opportunities for businesses within the consultancy services sector, particularly those specialising in energy efficiency solutions. By participating in this DPS, companies can engage with diverse clients, including housing associations, local authorities, registered charities, and various educational institutions across the UK. The DPS process was set up to be selective, ensuring quality and compliance with specific retrofit protocols, which makes it ideal for experienced entities looking to expand their market footprint in the sustainable housing sector. Despite its termination announcement, contracts established before the end date will still offer business prospects within a framework projected to manage contracts worth approximately £95 million. Businesses adept at post-retrofit evaluations and audits will find this tender especially beneficial, as it aligns with modern energy compliance requirements.

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.
