Notification of Contract signing for
Decarbonisation of Heat Works at Rotherfield Primary School,
Rotherfield TN6 3NA to enable delivery of a project to move from
fossil fuel to low carbon heat pumps within the timescales required
by the PSDS 3b grant as contract is over £500k delivered over
2 financial years.
Contract award to BSW Heating Ltd, based on
consultant Tender report findings, will enable the delivery of the
project within the timescale dictated by the PSDS Phase 3 grant.
The project will facilitate carbon reduction from the move from
fossil fuel to low carbon heating and avoid replacement with a like
for like fossil fuel system.
A second contractor submitted a lower price
overall but this contained various exclusions and provisional sums
which, despite seeking clarification, were not possible to
ascertain firm pricing. As such, were East Sussex County Council to
go into contract with the second contractor, this would be
‘at risk’ in terms of the actual final cost impact of
the various risk items. BSW Heating Ltd provided a comprehensive
and compliant tender.
