Decision details

Bristol City Council have been successfully awarded funding from the Department of Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy to deliver energy saving measures to low-income, low EPC rated households within Bristol and North Somerset.
Bristol City Council’s Energy Service have developed the Bright Green Homes project and intend to install underfloor insulation to suspended floors and other energy saving measures to these homes with BEIS Funding.

To award a contract to the successful tenderer for the provision of the supply and installation of under floor insultation in 160 homes across Bristol and North Somerset.
The council has run a compliant tender process under the Procurement for Housing ‘Capital Works and Associated Services DPS’. The intention is to award the contract to the successful tenderer. The contract period is 4.5 months.

Option 1 - During analysis of the housing stock across the city, the best types of measures identified to install were External Wall Insulation and Under Floor Insulation. Due to the tight timescales and the risk of delivering External Wall Insulation within the timeframe of this funding it was decided the better option is to deliver underfloor insulation to a large number of homes, as it can be installed within two days and EWI is a three week installation.
