This procurement falls under the services category, specifically classified as general public services. The tendering process is currently at the planning stage and will conclude on 2nd November 2018. The contract period is set to commence on 23rd November 2018 and extend to 22nd November 2021, with an allocated budget of up to £180,000, of which £60,000 is dedicated for the first year. This tender presents significant opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that specialise in energy efficiency and home improvement services. Companies that can provide home energy assessments, advice on fuel poverty, and related services would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. The initiative aims not only to reduce fuel costs for vulnerable households but also to positively impact public health, thereby enhancing the potential for successful bidders to contribute to meaningful community outcomes while expanding their business reach. ## Notice The Council is committed to improving the health and wellbeing of Hounslow residents by helping reduce fuel costs and improving the energy efficiency of housing. Evidence suggests that cold homes caused by poor thermal efficiency and fuel poverty have negative impacts on health, particularly on older people and those with pre-existing medical conditions. To help achieve this aim Hounslow Council wishes to provide extra support to vulnerable households through a programme of home energy visits. This contract is for the provision of services over the next three years, namely: 2018/2019 (November 2018 - March 2019) - The Council has PS60,000 allocated to fund a home energy visits programme to the end of March 2019. 2019/2020 (April 2019 - March 2020) - The Council is yet to secure funding for this part of the programme and has the right to terminate (given appropriate notice) if funds are not secured. 2020/2021 (April 2020 - March 2021) - The Council is yet to secure funding for this part of the programme and has the right to terminate (given appropriate notice) if funds are not secured. This contract is therefore a 1+1+1 year contract (from award of contract date 06/11/18 to 31/03/21) - but there will be annual reviews (towards the end of each respective financial year) and a decision made by the Council on whether the programme continues prior to the commencement of each new financial years programme. The home energy visits will promote well-being and help reduce emergency admissions and excess winter deaths ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/71d92ba1-474c-4239-95e2-08fee517d607 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 16 Oct 2018 | | Submission deadline | 2 Nov 2018 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 23 Nov 2018 - 22 Nov 2021 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £180,000 | | 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 | LONDON BOROUGH OF HOUNSLOW | | Locality | HOUNSLOW | | Post town | Twickenham | | Postcode | TW3 4DN | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI7 Outer London - West and North West | | ITL 3 | TLI75 Hounslow and Richmond upon Thames | | Local authority | Hounslow | | Electoral ward | Heston East | | Westminster constituency | Brentford and Isleworth | | Delivery location | TLI London | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 75 - Administration, defence and social security services ### Codes - 75110000 - General public services ## Release History - 16 Oct 2018 at 15:33 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/71d92ba1-474c-4239-95e2-08fee517d607 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/71d92ba1-474c-4239-95e2-08fee517d607 16th October 2018 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=528a6822-54d1-e811-80ef-005056b64545 Advert ## Notice URLs - http://www.hounslow.gov.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
