Externally funded sustainability works and Sourcing of SUstainability Grants for Peabody Trust

Peabody Trust ("Peabody") is seeking to appoint a single contractor who will work with Peabody to undertake externally funded energy efficiency work on our dwellings and/or secure funding for energy efficiency work to be delivered by Peabody's existing contractors. This work will be an essential component of our aim for all our 55,000 rented dwellings to achieve an average EPC 'B' by 2050.

For the most part, the contractor is expected to be complete the work by drawing down external funding. Nevertheless Public Contract Regulations require that we demonstrate that we are achieving value for money. Further in some cases, we recognise that Peabody will be part funding some of the work. We therefore need to ensure that we understand the cost of undertaking these measures and will require tenderers to provide a schedule of rates of some or all the measures contained within the tender documentation.
