## Description

Heat the Streets is a ground-breaking scheme delivering heavily subsidised ground source heat pumps to ~500 homes in Cornwall\. The two-year, £8\.7 million project developed by Cornish ground source heat pump infrastructure and asset company, KUL, is supported by £6\.2 million of grants from the European Regional Development Fund \(ERDF\)\. Heat the Streets is pioneering a new business model that installs highly efficient low carbon ground source heat pumps on a street-by-street basis, making the technology accessible to more households across the country and helping the UK realise it's ambitious net-zero carbon targets\. Installations will include borehole ground arrays, up to 180m deep and around 25cm diameter\. Trenching will connect properties to the borehole heat exchangers\. Inside the home, ground source heat pumps will be installed to upgrade the heat from the boreholes\. Hot water cylinders will be installed to store domestic hot water and either radiators or underfloor heating will be designed and installed to suit the heat pump flow temperature and building heat losses\. We hope that some ground arrays will be installed in highways and footpaths which adds complexity compared to an individual installation within the curtilage of the property\. Following completion there will be very little evidence of the shared infrastructure as, excluding some manifolds, all infrastructure will be below ground\. Many of the installations will take place in the rural off-gas Cornish community of Stithians to create a sustainable 'heat pump village'\. Works start on site in May 2022 and will continue until June 2023\. KUL is seeking to commission the provision of CEEQUAL Assessor services\. The Assessor is expected to work with the project team in order to support the obtaining of a CEEQUAL Whole Project \(Excellent\) award\. The Assessor will be expected to attend site meetings \(various locations in Cornwall\) to identify the evidence required to meet the CEEQUAL award criteria\. 2\.2 Assessor role will include initial scoping out, meetings with the assigned Verifier, providing regular final score predictions and final assessment, including uploading evidence to the CEEQUAL system and final verification liaison\. 2\.3 Heat the Streets will be delivered across approximately 10 sites across Cornwall\. The Tenderer is to advise if the Heat the Streets can be considered as the project using the Multi-Package Assessments process, rather than the multiple individual sites as the cost of registration and administration of multiple CEEQUAL projects is likely to exceed our available resources\. tenderers should prepare a response according to the ITT, including a covering letter, proposal and budget Please submit the Tender document by email by 17:00 on 01/06/2022 Please send by email to info@kensautilities\.com with the following wording in the subject box: "Tender XXXXXXX Strictly Confidential Kensa Utilities CEEQUAL Assessor Services"
