Description

This tender opportunity notice for Sustainable and Estates Facilities Solutions are covered under the Public Contracts Regulation (PCR) 2015
NHS Commercial Solutions is seeking to procure, through a framework agreement, a panel of suitably experienced and qualified organisations to provide expert guidance and services to NHS organisations to assist them in delivering their commitments to a greener NHS and improving the healthcare environments.
Every NHS organisation is required to publish a Carbon Reduction Plan. Many of these plans include commitments to reduce carbon emissions in the organisation's built environments.
The Value at Risk to manageable assets in the UK, if we maintain a below 2 degrees of warming by 2045, is estimated to be more than £1 billion per annum, but we must prepare for warming up to 4 degrees. This includes increasing actions to reach net zero and increasing actions for resilience to the warming world.
The purpose of the framework agreement is to offer industry specific opportunities for climate action, whilst building resilience to climate change, to enable the continuation of the delivery of healthcare services.
The opportunities the agreement offers for healthcare which, in the context of the UN Sustainable Development Goals, represents the coming together of subject matter expertise, societal demands and climate action to create a more sustainable, inclusive, and future proof path to economic growth, health and well-being to support strategic initiatives of high impact for the benefit of business, people and the planet.
The services covered under the framework are:
Environmental Consultancy
Sustainable Insulation
Natural Ventilation
Energy Efficient Windows and Doors
Heat Pumps/Passive Cooling Systems
Combined Heat and Power Systems
Rainwater Harvesting
Energy & Water Efficient Appliances
Energy-Efficient Lighting Systems
Solar Shading/Canopy Cover
Solar Film
Solar Power Generation and Storage
Wind Power Generation & Storage
Living Walls
Rainwater Gardens
Green Roof Spaces
Wellbeing Green Spaces

Riparian Buffer Strip Tool and Methodology for project assessments

Natural England is developing the Conservation Measures Standard to underpin the delivery of the NRF. Part of this work requires a methodology and tool for quantify the nutrient reductions generated through implementing riparian buffer strips (RBS) in Nutrient Neutrality (NN) catchments to improve water quality. This tool will facilitate mitigation scheme suppliers to design and deliver robust RBS to generate nutrient reductions capable of offsetting nutrient inputs from development in NN catchments. This tool and its associated guidance will be part of a wider project Natural England has begun to produce standardised tools, guidance and assessment criteria to ensure conservation measure projects (mitigation schemes) are effective at achieving the intended environmental outcome. This project, the Conservation Measures Standard (CMS), will develop Solution Toolkits for each of the measure relied upon to deliver nutrient mitigation, prioritising the most effective and commonly used measures to allow scheme suppliers to design and implement high-quality schemes in accordance with the set standard. This request for work will build on existing work on RBS to generate nutrient mitigation by commissioning a comprehensive methodology and tool to accurately quantify the nutrient reduction achieved at a project scale through the implementation of RBS. The commission forms two parts, the first request is to design a robust methodology to calculate the N and P reduction achieved in kg/year by implementing a RBS project in a NN catchment. This will need to be developed in collaboration with NE and should incorporate the existing evidence base commissioned by NE. The second part of this commission is to use GIS and data science/analytics to develop a tool to enable site specific calculations for N and P reductions achieved by a RBS project. This must be based on the above methodology and should incorporate a level of precaution to account for any uncertainty. The work should align with other publications and tools generated by NE to quantify the nutrient inputs resulting from new development (Nutrient Neutrality calculators) and to quantify the nutrient reductions achieved by Nature-based Solutions/mitigation measures (Cover Crop calculators).
