Award

Description

A Framework Agreement to serve all public sector bodies (and their statutory successors) and third sector organisations in the North West Yorkshire (UKE2) as detailed in the procurement documents.
Following the consultation on local government reorganisation in North Yorkshire, it was announced in July 2021 that the current county, district and borough councils would be replaced by a new single council for North Yorkshire with City of York Council remaining as it is.
Scarborough Borough Council is currently named as the contracting authority for the YORbuild3 North West area frameworks.
The new council is expected to officially start in April 2023. Until then, Scarborough Borough Council will continue as the contracting authority for this framework.
The works involved are principally general building works and new housing, including contractors design when required. In addition some civil engineering works may also be included. The full list of accessing bodies is detailed within VI.3.
Principles of collaborative working and partnering will be key to the relationships under the framework.

HVAC at Energy House 1

1.1.1 The University of Salford (UoS) is a leading public institution located in Greater Manchester, UK, with a strong reputation for combining academic excellence and industry engagement. Established in 1967, it serves over 20,000 students across undergraduate, postgraduate, and research programs. Salford is recognised for its close ties to industry, particularly in media, health, engineering, and digital sectors, supported by its strategic location adjacent to MediaCityUK. 1.1.2 The University operates two unique research facilities: Energy House 1 and Energy House 2.0. Both facilities contain environmental climate chambers that house test buildings. Energy House 1, located in the Cockcroft building, features a Victorian End Terrace House and was the first of its kind when constructed. The chamber enables the simulation of a wide range of European weather conditions, allowing for the testing of construction products and heating systems under controlled conditions environments. The environmental chamber has a dedicated heating and ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system. 1.1.3 After more than 10 year in operation, Energy House 1 is experiencing maintenance and performance issues with its existing HVAC system. Over time, both testing methods and the technologies under evaluation have evolved. For example, the introduction of Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHPs) has created new requirements for humidity control. The majority of work performed at Energy House 1 involves replicating outside temperature experienced during the UK heating season (-5 °C to +15 °C). Clients also express interest in performing research in extreme winter and summer conditions (-10 °C to +40 °C).
