Procurement of loft & cavity wall insulation for social housing properties

NPS Norwich Ltd, on behalf of Norwich City Council manages the maintenance and repair of the social housing property portfolio that comprises of approx. 18,500 conventional low and high rise properties with reinforced concrete stairways walkways and landings, system built properties, concrete framed high rise flats and timber framed dwellings. In order to maintain the property stock in good condition it is necessary to undertake repairs and maintenance as appropriate.

Norwich City Council has a requirement for the installation of additional or renewed insulation to lofts and cavities across our housing stock where necessary. This is designed to reduce fuel bills, prevent mould growth and condensation, reduce the carbon footprint of the properties and increase their SAP score. Currently, the works are anticipated to cover some 270 loft installations and 50 Cavity Wall installations or similar related works. This is not a finite figure.

It should be noted that there may be some properties with vulnerable occupants. These properties may require particular attention in that they will require works over and above the standard specification; experience in dealing with residents will be required.
