The brief

Sunderland City Council have been successful in a bid to the Warm Homes Fund (WHF) and will oversee and manage the installation of 135 All-Electric Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHPs) into WHF eligible E-F-G rated low-income properties, that do not have a central heating system, use solid fuel, or use old inefficient Electric Storage Heaters.

The WHF offer partially covers the cost of the installation of the ASHPs into the properties, with the remainder of the cost to be met from the Ofgem's Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS) with an application for a BUS voucher on behalf of the Customer.

A Contractor application for a BUS voucher may require accessing ECO 4 funding to install insulation requirements as demonstrated by the Energy Performance Certificate and / or Retrofit Assessment to satisfy the Boiler Upgrade Scheme insulation requirements.

The Council will act as Accountable Body for the Warm Homes Fund and are looking to appoint a Contractor to support the administration of the Warm Homes Fund grant conditions, and to arrange the installation of the Air Source Heat Pump and any enabling works, and where possible other installation measures that will support the energy efficiency of the Customers home, to the required standard and specifications and to operate within clear roles, responsibilities and objectives
