Scotland's Public Sector Heat Decarbonisation Framework

Project overview

The purpose of this contract notice is for the procurement of the Scotland’s Public Sector Heat Decarbonisation Framework (SPSHD) previously known as the Non Domestic Energy Efficiency (“NDEE”) Framework for public sector estate improvement works. This procurement will follow a two stage Restricted Procedure: suppliers will first complete an SPD, and shortlisted suppliers will then be invited to submit a full tender at the ITT stage. The Framework, which the Scottish Government will manage, will cover building energy retrofit in its broadest sense including a combination of building fabric, building environmental services systems and their control (e.g. heating, cooling, ventilation, lighting, water etc.), on site renewables, and the potential to connect to district heating systems. It will enable public sector bodies wishing to take forward energy retrofit projects to use (or ‘call off) the Framework and run mini-competitions with suppliers appointed to it to deliver those projects. In addition, the Scottish Government will incorporate the decarbonisation of heating systems into the Framework to meet strategic objectives around net zero. In addition to the delivery of works as part of energy retrofit projects, public sector bodies may require framework suppliers to deliver ancillary services. For example, at call-off stage, Economic Operators may be expected to demonstrate their capability to operate and maintain the technology they install.
