This procurement process falls under the Ministry or any other national or federal authority classification, with a focus on the Education and General public services sectors. The contract is aimed at supporting the delivery of a new national scheme and is valued at £3,500,000. The tender is currently in the planning stage, with key dates including a future notice date of 3rd August 2023. The location of the procurement is in Glasgow, UK. This tender opportunity presents potential business growth prospects for companies specializing in quality assurance and audit services within the heating and insulation sector. Businesses with expertise in compliance with industry standards like PAS 2030/2035 and MCS would be well-suited to compete for this contract. Interested bidders must declare any conflicts of interest in the tender documents, ensuring independence from the new national scheme. The successful bidder will play a crucial role in ensuring compliance with contractual and legal standards, with expected go-live date in December 2023. ## Notice The Scottish Government intends to procure a Quality Assurance and Audit contract to support delivery of the new Heat in Buildings National Scheme ### Lot Information Lot 1 The Scottish Government intends to procure a contract for a single managing agent to deliver a new national scheme ("the scheme") as part of its' Heat in Buildings Programme, which will cover the whole of Scotland. The scheme is due to go live in October 2023 and will be centered around the installation of insulation, heating and micro-generation measures and is targeted at those who are in or at risk of fuel poverty. This is a re-procurement of the Warmer Homes Scotland (WHS) contract which will expire on 29 September 2023. The current WHS service is supported by a Quality Assurance and Audit (QAA) contract and the Scottish Government intends to procure a new QAA contract to support delivery of the Heat in Buildings Programme new national scheme. The purpose of the associated QAA service is to give the Scottish Government confidence that the services provided and the installation of measures undertaken under the new national scheme are compliant in terms of both the national scheme contract and the prevailing legal and retrofit industry standards including PAS 2030/2035 and MCS. The successful QAA agent will be required to carry out various different types of on site and desk based inspections, audits and reports. These may include but not be limited to on site Pre-Installation, Post-Installation, Work in Progress inspections as well as desk based audits relating to delivery of the customer journey and analysis of financial information provided by the service provider, including invoices and pricing review evidence. We expect this scheme to go-live in December 2023. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=JUN481868 | | Notice type | OJEU - F1 - Prior Information Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 23 Jun 2023 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 3 Aug 2023 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £3,500,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planned | | Lots status | Planned | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | SCOTTISH GOVERNMENT | | Locality | GLASGOW | | Post town | Glasgow | | Postcode | G2 8EA | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM3 West Central Scotland | | ITL 3 | TLM32 Glasgow City | | Local authority | Glasgow City | | Electoral ward | Anderston/City/Yorkhill | | Westminster constituency | Glasgow North | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services - 72 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support ### Codes - 71315300 - Building surveying services - 71324000 - Quantity surveying services - 72224200 - System quality assurance planning services - 72225000 - System quality assurance assessment and review services ## Release History - 23 Jun 2023 at 00:00 - Planning - OJEU - F1 - Prior Information Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=JUN481868 ## Documents - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=JUN481868&idx=1 23rd June 2023 - Circular Advice Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=JUN481868 Heat in Buildings Scotland National Scheme Quality Assurance and Audit Contract - The Scottish Government intends to procure a Quality Assurance and Audit contract to support delivery of the new Heat in Buildings National Scheme ## Notice URLs - http:// - http://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/Search/Search_Switch.aspx?ID=735631 - http://www.scotland.gov.uk - https://api.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/v1/Notice?id=ocds-r6ebe6-0000735631 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
