This Lot covers the installation and maintenance of Domestic Air Source Heat Pumps. It’s been split into three sub lots to accommodate a range of suppliers. We’ve included the ‘Combined’ sub-lot for customers who’d like a contract with one supplier to cover both the installation and maintenance.

Installation

This sub-lot covers the design and installation of Air Source Heat Pumps for heating and hot water services in domestic dwellings.

What’s included in the design service? – This is a service provided each contractor on this lot. Customers are able to engage the contractor to complete the design service before moving on to use the same provider to carry our the surveys, installation, commissioning, handover and monitoring of the heat pumps.

Maintenance

This sub-lot covers the maintenance of Air Source Heat Pumps for heating and hot water services in domestic dwellings. The contractor will undertake all required maintenance services and include all requirements for ASHP technologies, heating controls and heating system replacement maintenance requirements.

Combined works – installation and maintenance

This sub-lot has been designed for customers that would like one contractor to deliver the design, installation and maintenance of their Air Source Heat Pumps and associated technologies.

How long will this take me?

Mini Competition

You’re also able to run a mini-competition to call off this framework. You’ll be able to use your own specification and cost model. You can also choose your own cost / quality split and quality questions. All pricing submitted by contractors must be linked to the framework.

How long will this take me?

Once you have your specification and cost model ready, the tender process takes approximately 6-8 weeks, depending on your internal approval processes. Learn more about the process here – Mini Tender Process. 

Accessing this Framework

Who can access this framework?

Any publically funded body can use this framework – access is not limited to SEC Members alone. Full details can be found here.

Is there a cost to access? 

There is no access fee to use this framework. A levy % dependant on whether you are a guest or member is collected directly from the contractor once a call off contract is awarded. This percentage will never be more than 1.5% for Members and 2% for Guests.

How do I access this framework?

If your organisation is already a SEC Member then you will not need to sign an additional Access Agreement. You’re already signed up.
If your organisation is new to SEC, and would like to use our frameworks as a non-member then you will need to sign our Access Agreement. You’ll only need to sign this once and you’ll receive access to all our Frameworks and DPS’s – even ones we procure in the future. You can view a draft agreement here – DRAFT Access Agreement (Non-Members).
