Description
Ambition North Wales is investigating the potential of engaging a delivery partner with technical and marketing expertise to run collective purchasing schemes for domestic low-carbon technologies as part of a joint exercise with 6 Local Authorities. The aim of such an initiative would be to enable homeowners in owner-occupier properties to install high-quality in scope renewable energy products at a reduced price from trusted installers. The delivery partner will be expected to: • work with the 6 local authorities to maximise customer access to the scheme • Design and deliver targeted and bilingual resident marketing, including direct mail and wider promotional activity. • Provide a secure registration platform and manage the customer journey from registration to installation and aftercare. • Recruit, qualify and manage appropriately accredited installers with the capacity to deliver across North Wales. • Operate a reverse auction or equivalent group-purchasing process to secure competitive offers. • Manage technical quality, customer service, complaints, warranties, defect rectification and installer contingencies. • Provide performance, risk, customer satisfaction, carbon and local economic benefit reporting. Ambition North Wales sees this opportunity operating as a services concession arrangement. This Preliminary Market Engagement Notice does not guarantee any future procurement activity. Responses will inform our procurement strategy, which may or may not include a future competitive tender process.
