Contract 1 - Heating Upgrades and Replacements - Programmed Works - 2024-26

Tender description

ABANDONING The Authority has a number of significant outstanding issues due to various clarifications and in particular one which highlighted the Clean Heat Marketing Mechanism (CHMM) which has only been raised in the last week. As the Authority is unsure how the CHMM will impact on pricing given the lack of government guidance to date to allow a full understanding of the pricing implications the decision has been made to be fair to all interested suppliers to abandon the Tender and offer an extension on the current Framework for an additional 12 months which will allow the Authority time to monitor the impact of the CHMM along with fully reviewing the full Specification and pricing document and incorporate all the clarifications that have been so far addressed and the outstanding ones prior to issuing the re-tender which we anticipate being around Oct/Nov 202 4 with a commencement date of 1st April 2025.
