LCR Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme Phase 4

Tender description

The Liverpool City Region Combined Authority (LCRCA) is seeking the services of a contractor with relevant expertise to develop and install heat decarbonisation, fabric improvements and energy efficiency measures for the transition to Net Zero of 25 public sector buildings. Since 2022, LCRCA has partnered with the North West Net Zero Hub through a wider collaboration with all six Local Authorities across the region gathering energy and carbon data to support them in the decarbonisation of public estates. This has resulted in a selection of 25 buildings across the Liverpool City Region, across constituent Local Authority sites and buildings for PSDS4 decarbonisation measures. Measures will include a variety of heat pumps, solar thermal and PV panels, insulation measures and glazing. The works will be contained to a range of properties owned by the local authorities and include office buildings, transport hubs, care homes and leisure centres. Additionally there will be a separate PV programme of around 27 sites that will form part of the contract. It is anticipated that we will award a Measured Term Contract to a single supplier in November 2025, with design and delivery being completed by March 2028. The LCRCA is currently developing a scope of works, which will require the contractor to develop from RIBA Stage 4 detailed design under the Design and Build contract, to RIBA Stage 5 /6 - installation and handover, RIBA Stage 7 – post completion.
