CHIC Optimised Retrofit Materials DPS 2022

Building Construction Fabric (BCF) Goods & Materials Distribution - this Lot will include suppliers who can provide participating authorities with supply and distribution services for a range of goods and materials to improve the thermal properties of the building fabric through the use of high levels of thermal insulation and airtightness, upgrading the performance of the fabric of existing properties including but not limited to walls, floors and roof insulation, windows and doors, draught proofing render systems, green paints, green roofs, floor coverings grey water harvesting, drainage and materials and for passive fire precautions e.g. fire boards, intumescent and insulants, cladding, fire doors and all associated supplementary materials. Providers may also provide consultancy in the calculation, or avoidance, of thermal bridging, air leakage and fire integrity and insulation and for the import, manufacture or supply of components and materials associated with advanced retrofit and building safety.

Building Materials Electrical (BME) Services and Renewables – this Lot will include suppliers who can provide participating authorities with supply and distribution services for a range of goods and materials in respect of electrical/power and/or renewable technologies and active building management systems (BMS) that manage and control the electrical services and building safety, including but not limited to fire detection, alert and containment in respect of active fire measures. Materials supply may therefore include energy efficient internal and external fixed lighting systems, solar lighting fittings with appropriate controls; appliances and equipment to reduce electricity use and minimize internal heat gains, extractor fans, consumer units, energy management systems, smart controls, Intelligent Energy Systems (IES); electric power systems, fault detection systems that use low or zero carbon (LZC) technologies, solar thermal, solar voltaic, batteries, EV charging as well as smoke detectors, fire alarms and fire suppression and sprinkler systems and all associated supplementary materials. Service Providers may also be technology specific or offer a range of electrical/power and renewable materials and technologies. This lot includes complementary technologies that optimise and enhance the benefits of the solution.

Building Materials Mechanical [Heating and Renewables] - this Lot will include suppliers who can provide participating authorities with supply and distribution services for a range of goods and materials in respect of heating and/or renewable technologies and active building management systems (BMS) that manage and control heating services and building safety, including but not limited to Air Source Heat Pumps, Ground Source Heat Pumps, Air Conditioning components and controls, Plumbing and Hot Water Systems, Pipework, Ductwork and Cylinders, Thermal Storage , Pipe Insulation, Water Treatments, Flues, Sanitary Ware, Boilers, Hydrogen Ready Boilers, Combi, Water Efficient WCs, Showers, Bath and Taps, Waste, Traps, Pan Connectors, Soil & Overflow Piping, Rainwater Goods, Sink Tops, Commercial & Domestic Boilers, Radiators, Space Heaters, Smart Heating Controls, Filters, Underfloor Heating, Thermostatic Mixing Valves, Room Thermostats, Energy Management Systems Filling Loops, Boiler Spares, Fire Parts, Fire Suppression and Sprinkler Systems, Appliance Spares, Rainwater Harvesting, Rainwater Goods. Suppliers may be technology specific or offer a range of heating and renewable technologies. Materials may therefore also include upgrades for building safety requirements in respect of fire and structural risk which may become relevant. A range of complementary measures can be employed to increase the efficiency of various systems available through the relevant lots of this DPS.

Building Materials Mechanical [Ventilation and Heat Recovery] – this Lot will include suppliers who can provide participating authorities with supply and distribution services for a range of ventilation material supply and/or renewable technologies and building management systems (BMS) that control the mechanical ventilation services and safety of buildings. Material supply will support upgrade ventilation to ensure good internal air quality and minimize the risk of condensation and fire/smoke spread and include but not limited to Ventilation and Heat Recovery, Extract Ventilation, Passive Heat Recovery, Whole House Ventilation Systems, Fire Dampers, Fire Collars, Fire Compartmentation, Automatic Opening Vents (AOVs), Smoke Extraction Systems. Suppliers may also be technology specific or offer a range of ventilation materials and renewable technologies. This lot includes complementary technologies that optimise and enhance the benefits of the solution.

One Stop Shop (materials partnering solution) - this Lot will include suppliers who can provide a holistic material solution for participating authorities which may include consultancy services through the provision of advice, assessment, design, and co-ordination for a variety of low/zero carbon material and/or technology and building safety solutions. This will enable organisations to reduce carbon emissions and address building safety requirements via a one-stop-shop solution for material supply, installation and/or commissioning of the Energy Efficient Measures (EEMs). Contracts awarded under this DPS Lot may include all or a mix of the services highlighted above in the other lots to include an ‘end to end’ service from initial consultancy services through to material supply, installation and commissioning.
