CS6097 School Decarbonisation - Bangabandhu & Cubitt Town Main Works Contractor

This procurement aims to appoint a main works contractor via an Open Procedure tender to deliver decarbonisation and comfort improvement works at Bangabandhu Primary School (1990s steel-frame, architecturally distinctive) and Cubitt Town Primary School and Nursery (1930s structure with extensions from the 1960s to 2000s), both located within the London Borough of Tower Hamlets.

The schools currently face significant thermal discomfort - overheating in summer and insufficient heating in winter, as well as end of life boilers. The overall purpose and goal of the School Decarbonisation project is to decarbonise the school sites' heating technology, within the available finance, whilst maximising additional interventions to reduce the school energy bills.

The key project priorities are:

o Move to decarbonised heat

o Reduce energy bills

o Stay within budget

o Improve the internal environment to create a more comfortable learning environment

o Work closely with the school community to ensure that their senior leadership team is consulted on all key design and delivery decisions

o Ensure that interventions are interrogated holistically in order to avoid potential issues such as mold

o Calculate carbon and energy usage reductions
