Overview

Local Partnerships is the exclusive custodian of the new Re:fit 5 National Carbon and Energy Performance Contracting Framework for contracting authorities outside Greater London.

The framework gives contracting authorities a quick and flexible route to procure a contracting partner to deliver estate-wide energy efficiency and decarbonisation improvements, with contractually guaranteed outcomes.

This Public Sector Retrofit Forum meeting will introduce the new framework and explain how it can support public sector organisations to move more quickly from planning to delivery.

The following organisations have been appointed to the new framework:

 

What to expect

The webinar will explore how the framework supports public sector retrofit and decarbonisation projects, including the framework’s market-leading features:

  • Greater affordability support for public authorities via more robust facilitation for off-balance sheet project funding
  • Facilitation of speedier routes to market
  • More robust approach to assure independent Measurement and Verification processes
  • RIBA stage 4 minimum quality threshold for investment business cases to facilitate a quick transition into delivery
  • Explicit application of a cost of carbon for performance purposes
  • Obligations on service providers to adopt a strong open book approach
  • Focused framework KPI’s to ensure a competitive environment,  high quality, and best practice.
  • Direct award (single tender) option
  • Application of more robust building regulations taking account of the findings from the Final Report of the Independent Review of Building Regulations and Fire Safety (2018)
