The procurement, titled "ECO4 Flexible Eligibility Deliverer - Approved Installer List," falls under the industry category of construction work and architectural, construction, engineering, and inspection services. The tender, with a contract value of £500,000 in GBP, is currently in the tender stage, with a tender period ending on 6th January 2023 and a contract period running from 20th February 2023 to 23rd July 2026. This opportunity presents a chance for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in the construction and related consultancy sectors to contribute to reducing fuel poverty by improving the least energy-efficient housing stock in Greater Manchester. GMCA and the 10 GM Local Authorities will not provide funding for the ECO4 Flex measures, creating a business opportunity for installers who can meet the specific requirements outlined in the tender. The procurement process emphasises the need for good quality work, with monitoring in place to ensure customer service standards are maintained among the approved installers. ## Notice Publication reference: 2022/S 000-033668 ECO4 Flex Scheme The Energy Company Obligation (ECO), first introduced in 2013, is an energy efficiency scheme for Great Britain that places legal obligations on energy suppliers to deliver energy efficiency measures to domestic premises. The fourth wave of the scheme (ECO4) covers the period from 27 July 2022 to 31 March 2026. Compared to previous waves, ECO4 focusses on improving the least energy efficient homes, as only properties in band D-G can be treated. It also requires a more complete upgrade of those homes, shifting to a fabric-first multi-measure whole-house retrofit approach with the aim of encouraging the installation of insulation, renewables, and district heating connections, as well as upgrading inefficient heating systems. There is a new minimum requirement to improve the energy efficiency rating of band D and E homes to at least a band C, and band F and G homes to at least a band D. This approach increases the number of measures installed per home and the savings for the household and reduces the need for future upgrades to those properties. The main objective of ECO4 is to reduce fuel poverty by improving the least energy efficient housing stock occupied by low income and vulnerable households. One route that can be used to identify these households is ECO4 Flex. Under ECO4 Flex, a participating Local Authority can refer private tenure households that it considers to be living in fuel poverty or on a low income and vulnerable to the effects of living in a cold home. GMCA ECO4 Flex Approved Installer List GMCA wish to develop a list of up to three qualified installers who will deliver good quality ECO4 Flex funded measures in a timely manner, with due consideration for the needs of the eligible households in Greater Manchester (GM). GMCA and the 10 GM Local Authorities (LAs) will not be contributing any funding towards the ECO4 Flex measures. There will also be no financial contribution from householders. GMCA will manage the approved installer list, including householder feedback as part of regular monitoring to ensure good customer service is maintained. Consistently poor feedback will result in warnings and ultimately removal from the list. Applicants should note that the immediate opportunity relates only to the ECO4 Flex scheme for fuel poor or low income and vulnerable households. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/35058b4b-d7a6-458a-a8f1-02fdaa76a8f7 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Other - | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 28 Nov 2022 | | Submission deadline | 6 Jan 2023 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 20 Feb 2023 - 23 Jul 2026 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £500,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | GREATER MANCHESTER COMBINED AUTHORITY | | Locality | MANCHESTER | | Post town | Manchester | | Postcode | M1 6EU | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD3 Greater Manchester | | ITL 3 | TLD33 Manchester | | Local authority | Manchester | | Electoral ward | Deansgate | | Westminster constituency | Manchester Central | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England), TLD North West (England), TLF East Midlands (England), TLG West Midlands (England), TLH East (England), TLJ South East (England), TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 45 - Construction work - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ### Codes - 45000000 - Construction work - 71000000 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services - 73000000 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ## Release History - 28 Nov 2022 at 15:25 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/35058b4b-d7a6-458a-a8f1-02fdaa76a8f7 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/35058b4b-d7a6-458a-a8f1-02fdaa76a8f7 28th November 2022 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - http://www.manchesterfire.gov.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
