Rationale
Need for additional works, services or supplies by the original contractor/concessionaire: The Authority holds the view that the contract may be modified without a new award procedure as it satisfies the requirements of Regulation 72(1)(b) of PCR 2015 for the reasons set out below: If the TAF 2 contract is not varied to enable delivery of the IDM, there will be no in-delivery support to WH:SHF and WH:LG scheme grant recipients between the schemes’ launch (April 2025) and award/mobilisation of a future DP2 supplier (date TBC – indicative date early 2026). In their capacity as the provider of TAF 2 requirements, T&T has built relationships with grant recipients preparing to receive funding from the WH:LG and WH:SHF schemes through the provision of one-to-one (e.g. masterclasses and roundtables) and one-to-many (e.g. 1-2-1 support) pre-delivery learning and support offerings. Consequently, T&T are well placed to ensure a consistent level of support for grant recipients through the early stages of their projects by ensuring they have access to the technical expertise and resources required to resolve any challenges encountered. TAF2 pre-delivery service packages share significant commonalities with IDM requirements, and can be pivoted with minimal disruption to in-delivery support; in preparing grant recipients to launch their funded projects, T&T has built a credible knowledge of the schemes, supporting policies and steps required to enable effective operational delivery to progress. With the limited time available, The Authority could not define a viable route to market which would have provided similar service continuity and oversight of grant spending between the scheme launches and DP2 award, nor does it have the capacity and capability to deliver those services in-house. Multiple contractor variations would have caused significant disruption to grant recipient user experience, occurring during handover from T&T in their capacity as TAF 2 provider to an IDM supplier, to the eventual DP2 supplier. Finally, the value of the modification will not exceed 50% of the original contract value (£13.3 million of a contract value of £26.6 million). In summary, T&T represents the most viable route for DESNZ to ensure: 1. Value for money; 2. Successful/compliant deployment of government grant funding; 3. Mitigation of fraud/error within schemes; and 4. Minimal disruption of services provided to Grant Recipients.
Description
This Modification Notice gives notification of a variation to the TAF 2 contract, which supports the delivery of the Warm Homes Social Housing Fund (WH:SHF) and Warm Homes Local Grant (WH:LG) energy retrofit schemes. The supplier for this contract is Turner and Townsend Ltd (T&T). This variation has been made to: • Enable T&T to provide Interim Delivery Model (IDM) services, addressing a gap in delivery support for Grant Recipients (GRs) of the WH:SHF and WH:LG schemes, due to unforeseen delays in procuring the wider Delivery Partner 2 (DP2). This support will be required up until the DP2 supplier is mobilised (TBC – indicative date of early 2026). • Include 'Learning Communities' to provide GRs of WH:SHF and WH:LG with a network of support to overcome retrofit challenges and expedite solutions by accessing learned experience from peers. • Update the wording of the TAF 2 KPIs and SLAs to reflect the current workstream structure. The Department published a Voluntary Transparency Notice (https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/017748-2025) to inform the market of its intention to vary this contract, and has completed observing a 30 day period between publication of this notice and contract variation award. Please see this notice for the justification of this contract variation under Regulation 72(1)(b) of PCR 2015
