## Summary

The Scottish Government is initiating a procurement process titled "Heat in Buildings Scotland - New National Scheme" aimed at managing a new national scheme as part of its Heat in Buildings programme. This scheme, set to commence in 2023, will primarily focus on households facing or at risk of fuel poverty, with an estimated budget between £200 million and £560 million. The procurement is currently in the planning stage, with key dates including a Digital Supplier Engagement Event scheduled for early to mid-February 2022, and further notices expected by 16 May 2022. The location for this procurement is Edinburgh, within the UK.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the construction and environmental sectors, particularly those experienced in insulation, heating, and micro-generation systems. Companies positioned to support the goals of zero-emission heating systems and those with expertise in managing housing retrofit projects would be well-suited to compete. The involvement of a Managing Agent is critical, making it essential for businesses to register their interest promptly to receive pertinent updates and details regarding the engagement event.

Managing Agent for the Heat in Buildings Scotland - New National Scheme

### Lot Information

Lot 1

The Scottish Government intends to procure a contract for the delivery of a new national scheme ("the Scheme") as part of its Heat in Buildings programme. Due to go live in 2023, the core of the Scheme will target households which are in fuel poverty or at risk of being in fuel poverty. The Scottish Government wishes to appoint a Managing Agent for the Scheme. This Managing Agent will be responsible for managing the customer journey as the retrofit coordinator - this will entail identifying the measures which are suitable for the dwelling, carrying out a technical survey, installing the measures, arranging a post-installation inspection and putting in place a service warranty. The measures installed will be mainly insulation, heating and micro generation measures, with a focus on zero emissions heating systems where this is not detrimental to Scottish Government fuel poverty objectives. The Scottish Government is also considering including an option for a non-core route - targeted at houses which do meet the eligibility requirements of the main scheme - although a final decision on this element is still to be made. This route would be funded through higher customer contributions than the core route. Estimated cost (excluding VAT): Range: between 200,000,000 and 560,000,000 GBP. Please note, it is the Scottish Government's intention to hold a Digital Supplier Engagement Event in early-mid February 2022. Please ensure that you register your interest in this notice in order to obtain additional information and any further updates (we expect to provide details on the event - including how to register to attend - in early January 2022).
