The Greater London Authority (GLA) has issued a contract notice for a £1 billion national carbon and energy performance contracting framework and is inviting interested firms to register for a Bidders Briefing event on 6th March.
The procurement process is being managed by Transport for London (TfL) on behalf of the GLA. The purpose of the event is to allow GLA/TfL to describe the key aspects of the procurement process and the scope.
The procurement is being carried out electronically via the SAP Ariba Portal – suppliers must be registered on TfL's SAP Ariba to be able to participate in the tender.
The GLA is looking to appoint up to ten participants to the framework agreement which will run for a four year term.
The Framework will facilitate energy efficiency improvement, renewable energy generation, greenhouse gas emissions reduction and wider performance improvements - including improvements focused on water consumption.
The GLA is seeking to appoint service providers for the single Lot RE:FIT 5 Framework which covers the delivery of energy efficiency services, including:
- Project development
- Design
- Construction
- Operations
- Maintenance
- Financing of related projects.
The services will be delivered across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
The Framework will be a key component of the GLA's support to public sector, charities, Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprises (VCSEs), and other organisations supported to undertake capital works to deliver decarbonisation measures.
Service providers will be required to develop costed proposals to decarbonise, generate energy, and/or improve energy efficiency in the contracting authority's buildings and land assets. They will also be responsible for implementing the proposals, ensuring performance guarantees and guarantee a set level of savings and/or performance over a period of the arrangement.
Interested suppliers must be registered on TfL's SAP Ariba to be able to participate in the tender.
