Open framework to supply and install Solar PV

Key Details

Description

WME is looking to receive applications from suppliers to join a multi supplier Open Framework to carry out energy efficiency improvement works in but not limited to any public sector buildings including Schools, Council buildings and Town Councils. It is envisaged that most of the works will be conducted on school buildings. In May 2024 WME awarded Barker Associates a single supplier framework for Decarbonisation Solutions for the education sector. This framework will broaden WME's decarbonisation services to cut energy use, improve building efficiency, and reach net zero. In establishing this framework, Barker Associates have supported WME with technical advice and support, including, but not limited to; providing support with drawing up the tender document, technical specifications and will support in subsequent tender evaluations. Once the framework has been established it is envisaged that Barker Associates will utilise the framework to call off contracts to support their work as our decarbonisation partner. This work will include preparation of ITT documents, supporting with clarification questions, offering technical support and evaluation of the competitive selection process. If the Contracting Authority wishes to utilise their own technical advisors, then the framework will permit that. During the first 12 months of the award of this framework. WME will only offer the fully managed procurement service to Contracting Authorities utilising Barker Associates consultancy services. This exclusion is designed to ensure any teething problems have been ironed out prior to expanding this service to other consultants/contractors.
