Administration services

Tender description

BEIS needs to have a contingency in place for a one month contract extension for the continuation of the current services provided by Gemserv as the administrator of the Microgeneration certification scheme (MCS). While it is expected that novation will occur in April, there is the potential for unforeseen delays to result in the novation of the scheme to the MCS Charitable foundation taking place after the current contract completes on 30.4.2018. This notice covers the contingency for a one month contract extension for the continuation of the current services provided by Gemserv as the administrator of the Microgeneration certification scheme (MCS), for the potential case of any unforeseen delays to the novation (making independent of government) of the scheme. The extension would cover the period from 1.5.2018 to 31.5.2018 but will only be awarded if the novation date is delayed until after 30.4.2018. 2 government incentive schemes (Feed-in tariff scheme, Renewable heat incentive) and the microgeneration industry rely on the functioning of MCS to develop and maintain standards, certify installers and installations in accordance with standards, to provide assurance to consumers and help the growth of the renewable microgeneration sector.
