This is an early market engagement notice issued which seeks to provide advanced notice of early market engagement and subsequent procurement activities LHC intend to carry out during 2024 in relation to the establishment of new frameworks:

RETROFIT AND DECARBONISATION FRAMEWORK (N9)

This framework will be the successor to LHCPG's successful Energy Efficiency Framework (N8). The new framework will be designed to support clients with delivering a range of retrofit and decarbonisation measures on their journey to achieving net zero targets.

LHCPG has already carried out extensive pre-tender engagement and the framework will consist of the following workstreams:

Workstream 1 - Consultancy: Combines energy policy and strategy development with grant funding support.

Workstream 2 - Multi-Disciplinary Works: Focuses on multi-technology installations.

Workstream 3 - Building Insulation & Performance (Passive): Covers various insulation types, including internal, loft, cavity wall, and external insulation.

Workstream 4 - Heating Systems: Encompasses a range of heating solutions, from domestic to commercial systems, and integrates smart controls and energy systems where applicable.

Workstream 5 - Control and Management Systems: Addresses building management systems (BMS) and individual metering, catering to the needs in communal heating systems and energy management.

Workstream 6 - Electrical: Includes lots for Solar PV and Battery Storage, and Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging, responding to the growing demand for integrated energy solutions and EV infrastructure.

It is planned that the tender will be released for bid applications in April 2024, and it is anticipated the new framework will be live in autumn 2024.

ROOFING SYSTEMS AND ASSOCIATED WORKS (RS5)

The new Roofing Systems Framework (RS5) will be the successor to LHCPG's current and successful roofing Agreement (RS4) which is due to expire in May 2025. This framework will provide an efficient, value for money procurement route for local authorities, social landlords and other public sector bodies for the design, supply and installation of roofing systems and associated works in all types of public sector refurbishment and new build projects.

It is currently envisaged that the procurement will cover the following types of roofing, however this will be further explored in pre-tender engagement:

• Traditional flat roofing
• Liquid flat roofing
• Profiled metal roofing
• Pitched roofing

LHCPG intend to carry out engagement with interested parties in spring 2024 to discuss our initial proposals, timescales for the tender and gain feedback before finalising the framework and issuing the tender later this year.

The tender will be released for bid applications in summer / autumn 2024 and it is anticipated the new framework will be live in spring / summer 2025.
