Tender description

Optivo wishes to appoint a service provider experienced in the delivery of surveys to provide Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) and associated reporting. Optivo wishes to appoint a service provider experienced in the delivery of surveys to provide Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs). The service provider will carry out 2 550 energy performance surveys which will support Optivo’s energy efficiency retrofit programme over 3 years. The surveys will result in the provision of EPCs, RdSAP data in XML format and a ‘Route to Band C’ report (Appendix 8). These technical EPC surveys are an essential part of the retrofit plan delivery programme as they supply an energy efficiency rating before and after the proposed retrofit works. This contract will help us to achieve our strategic target of 80 % of homes reach EPC Band C by 2025 and to reach the Government’s target of 100 % EPC Band C homes by 2030. This contract will target our worst performing properties, according to current data, in London, Sussex and Kent. Optivo’s retrofit strategy is key for our target to maintain Shift Gold in 2021. In order to produce a robust retrofit programme, we require accurate and thorough data that can be obtained through the work detailed in this specification.
