Energy and Decarbonisation Framework - Preliminary Market Engagement

Description

Caerphilly County Borough Council is undertaking this preliminary market engagement exercise to seek feedback from suppliers, contractors and other interested parties concerning the Council’s intention to establish a Framework for the provision of retrofit and decarbonisation works. Scope of Works - The framework will encompass a wide range of activities, including: Energy Assessments, Design and Planning: Conducting detailed property surveys to determine energy performance and develop tailored retrofit strategies, design and coordination. Insulation and Weatherproofing: Installing and upgrading loft, cavity wall, and external wall insulation to enhance thermal efficiency. Structural Work: Allowance for remedial structural works to take place, such as cavity wall ties, expansion joints etc. Heating System Upgrades: Transitioning to low-carbon heating solutions such as air source heat pumps and district heating networks. Windows and Doors: Replacing outdated glazing with double/triple glazing and implementing airtight sealing to minimise heat loss. Renewable Energy Systems: Installing solar PV panels, battery storage systems, and energy management solutions to harness renewable energy sources. Ventilation and Air Quality Improvements: Installing Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery (MVHR) systems to maintain optimal indoor air quality and mitigate damp issues. Quality Assurance and Compliance: Implementing rigorous inspections, performance testing, and ongoing monitoring to maintain PAS 2035 standards. Training and Workforce Development: Offering PAS 2035 training programs for contractors and staff to ensure knowledge transfer and compliance. Resident Engagement: Educating tenants on retrofit benefits, providing clear guidance on how to maximise energy savings post-installation. Post-Retrofit Maintenance and Support: Developing long-term maintenance strategies to ensure sustained efficiency and performance.
