The Provision of Cavity Wall Insulation Extraction

Description

Caerphilly County Borough Council is seeking suitable contractors to undertake cavity wall insulation extraction works in various properties within both public and private sector houses across the Caerphilly County Borough area. The successful contractors will be required to undertake the extraction of any form of failed cavity wall insulation with minimum disruption to the structure or aesthetics of the building. The Contractor is to carry out a pre-extraction inspection with a borescope or similar piece of equipment to establish what insulation type is in the cavity e.g. loose bead fill, bonded fill or fibre fill, with the results recorded on a pre-extraction certificate. This is an ad-hoc arrangement. The number and location of the properties included in this arrangement is unknown at present; In recent years this work has fallen off and it is not expected that the number of extractions will be as high as in the past and bidders shall note that there is no guarantee of the volume of work that will be undertaken under this arrangement. It is the Authority’s strategy that up a maximum of two (2) contractors will be awarded onto the Framework arrangement. Further information can be found in the Invitation to Tender Document.
