Scotland's Public Sector Heat Decarbonisation Framework (Request for Information)
Notice Description
The Scottish Government are seeking to develop the re-let of the Scotland's Public Sector Heat Decarbonisation Framework (SPSHD) previously known as the Non Domestic Energy Efficiency ("NDEE") Framework Agreement (over 1m GBP projects only) for public sector improvement works and services. Scottish Government do not intend to re-let the under 1m GBP Framework on this occasion. The Framework should cover NDEE retrofit in its broadest sense including a combination of building fabric, building environmental services systems and their control (e.g. heating, cooling, ventilation, lighting, water etc.), on site renewables, and the potential to connect to district heating systems. In addition, the Scottish Government is considering how it might incorporate the decarbonisation of heating systems into the Framework to meet strategic objectives around net zero.
