Purpose

We are seeking
approval to replace the existing gas communal heating and hot water
system, which has reached the end of its operating life, with an
air source heat pump (electric) system and in tandem undertake
climate change adaptations (e.g., thermally insulate the fabric of
the building) at Philpot Square, Peterborough Road, London, SW6
3HT. The system serves 72 households. We seek to use the
Procurement for Housing Framework: ' Decarbonisation and
Retrofit’ – Lot 2 ‘Air Source Heat Pumps’
to appoint capable design and build. We will call-off this
framework via a mini-competition.
 

Decision

1.   
To note that Appendix 1 is not for publication on
the basis that it contains information relating to the financial or
business affairs of any particular person (including the authority
holding that information) as set out in paragraph 3 of Schedule 12A
of the Local Government Act 1972 (as amended).
 
2.   
To run a mini-competition via the ‘Procurement
for Housing- Decarbonisation and Retrofit framework’, Lot 2
‘Air Sourced Heat Pumps’ for an energy efficient pilot
project contract valued at circa £4.2 million.
 

Reasons for the decision

By procuring a
supplier to undertake a pilot at Philpot Square we will attain a
case study which will enable a deeper review of the council’s
plan to achieve its 2030 commitments, reduce emissions now and deliver
best service to its residents.

procurement options available to procure providers of PPM (Planned
Preventative Maintenance) works:
