Brighton & Hove City Council (The Council) are seeking to engage with the market in relation to the future contract for Heating and Hot Water Servicing, Maintenance, Repair and Installation in Council Housing from 2023.
The existing contract for the supply, installation, maintenance, and servicing of gas boilers is due to expire at the end of March 2023 and is limited to gas heating and hot water systems, and communal solar thermal installations. The current contract covers the following services, and these will need to continue to be provided from 2023 onwards;
o 10,000 domestic properties requiring annual Landlords Gas Safety Records (LGSR)
o Upgrade/replacement programme for domestic properties
o 32 commercial gas plant rooms requiring annual Landlords Gas Safety Records (LGSR)
o Upgrade/replacement programme for commercial gas plant
o 1213 properties served via communal boiler internal services
o Repair and maintenance of all the above with 24/7 call out in line with Government Right to Repair
In addition to the above there are a number of new considerations that will inform how heating and hot water services are delivered in the future;
o City wide Carbon Neutral 2030 ambition
o No new gas connections from 2025 (tbc)
o Possible ban on sale of gas boilers in the 2030's
o The need to provide low/zero carbon alternative solutions for heat and hot water delivery
o The opportunity to provide more efficient and affordable forms of heating and hot water provision for properties currently off gas (i.e. Air Source Heat Pumps)
o The need for technical specifications to be structured in such a way as to allow flexibility for the Council and residents to benefit from new technology development and innovation across the term of the contract
