  Retrofit at Scale for Council Homes - Procurement Strategy

  

  Report of the Cabinet Member Better Homes

   

  This report recommends developing a prototype Retrofit Test Model targeting a relatively small sample of circa 3,000 of the Council’s homes.

   

  The model will test and develop principles as part of a prototype to reduce carbon emissions at scale across our housing stock while providing lower energy costs for residents. The proposed approach is the first of its kind at any significant scale. It is required as London Councils estimate that current grant-funded retrofit schemes will only reach between 2% and 3% of homes in the capital. The project aligns with work by Government to improve energy security with support from institutional investment, and reduce reliance on fossil fuels for energy generation.

   

  The model will test a phased approach to retrofit. It will see the installation of solar panels and battery storage to around 3,000 Council’s homes (9% of the overall stock). Should it be successful it will lay the foundation for further retrofit work to the initial sample of 3,000 homes – for example heat pump installation or fabric measures.

   

  More significantly, principles developed for and by the Retrofit Test Model could subsequently be used to develop another more extensive model which could be rolled out more widely across the Council’s housing stock.

   

  Under the proposed approach, the intention is that the supplier will be an institutional investor who will part fund the works. The energy generated means that residents receive lower bills and part of the saving is used to pay back the investment. The resident receives a single bill which captures all this, which is generated by a billing platform unique to the project. The prototype, including the capital works required, will be delivered through a special purpose vehicle.

   

  The properties that will be added to the pilot are those with poorer energy ratings and where residents will benefit from the energy provided by the panels and battery storage. This will form an important part of the Council’s work to make sure all homes achieve a Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating of band “C” or above.

   

  Because the Retrofit Test Model is the first of its kind to be mobilised at this scale, based on pre market engagment there is likely to be only one supplier who has the resources, capacity and capability to collaborate with the Council and develop the detailed financial and legal structure to deliver the requirements of the Council’s prototype and the positive outcomes sought for residents; namely Legal & General (L&G) and their technical partners Sero who will provide the billing platform.

                                                

  As explored in the report, expert legal advice has been obtained, and the proposed approach is to publish a transparency notice, which may lead to a subsequent decision to make a direct award of a contract to operate the Retrofit Test Model.

   

  The report is coming to the Cabinet because the ultimate gross value of the contract over 30 years is estimated as being £68.2m.

   

   

  Part II: Exempt from Publication

   

  This report has an appendix which contains information exempt within the meaning of Schedule 12A to the Local Government Act 1972 and is not for publication. The appendix has therefore been circulated to Members only.

   

  If the meeting wishes to discuss the contents of a closed exempt appendix it may pass the proposed resolution identified at the end of the document to exclude members of the public and the press from the proceedings for that discussion.
