This is will be a services concession contract for delivery of a programme of energy efficiency retrofit activity across Bristol and the South West of England. This programme will be focused on domestic properties in the private sector and non-domestic properties. It is anticipated that the date of commencement of the concession contract will be from May 2014 (subject to change) to May 2018 with an option to extend for up to a further 2 years. Bristol City Council wishes to appoint a Green Deal Provider partner for delivery of a programme of energy efficiency retrofit activity across the City of Bristol and the South West of England in domestic and non-domestic properties based on, but not limited to, the Government's Green Deal and Energy Company Obligation (ECO) legislation. It is also anticipated that the programme may also include the provision of energy generation and energy security opportunities and/or energy efficiency and renewable energy measures that qualify for other funding sources including (without limitation) the Feed in Tariff (FiT), the Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) and other funds, grants, tariffs and/or incentives including European Structural funds (such as the European Regional Development Fund) or grants or other funding from the Department for Energy and Climate Change (DECC) or other Government departments or agencies and/or, in each case, their alternates or successors. This programme will be focused on privately owned and privately-rented properties in the domestic sector as well as non-domestic properties. This is a significant opportunity for the successful applicant to support some of Bristol's 190,000 households improve the energy efficiency of their homes, as well as undertake similar activities in the non-domestic sector. The overall objective of the programme is to support domestic and non-domestic property owners to reduce both their energy bills, and carbon emissions. In doing so, Bristol City Council aims to provide continued support for our most vulnerable households and to catalyse low carbon economic growth, driving business and skills growth in a developing market place. The successful applicant must be accredited as a Green Deal Provider, with this accreditation in place by 31.3.2014. Applications from consortia are welcomed, but at least one member of the consortium must have Green Deal Provider accreditation in place. Energy efficiency works to households will be funded through a combination of Energy Company Obligation funding, Green Deal or other available loan finance and other sources of finance available to domestic and/or non-domestic properties. The programme will be endorsed and supported by Bristol City Council and will benefit from local authority branding, resources and local market intelligence, in particular Bristol City Council's pioneering Housing Stock Model, which provides an assessment of the remaining domestic energy efficiency opportunities across Bristol. In addition, Bristol City Council intends and would require the Green Deal Provider partner to work closely with the extensive community energy network that exists in the City to promote the scheme to residents. A fee for successful referrals into the programme by Bristol City Council, community groups and similar partners is anticipated.
