As part of its duty to its Tenants, and in response to the ever-growing energy crisis, Gentoo wish to commence a programme to install and top up loft insulation within its properties and reduce the impact of increasing energy costs to its Tenants.

This programme initially encompasses approximately 1,000 properties, all of which either require the topping up of existing loft insulation, or new installation of loft insulation.

Once the initial 1,000 properties have been completed, Gentoo will then be in a position to provide further works orders to the Provider for loft insulation installations.

A list of the 1,000 properties to be completed initially will be provided within the Tender Pack, there is no order of preference for completion and the Provider may determine their own programme and select the most effective and efficient way to complete the works. However, it will be a requirement that all properties can be completed within a period of 3 months. A copy of the programme will be required to be submitted and signed off by the Contract Administrator prior to commencement.

Whilst the Provider's Operatives are on-site carrying out the works, Gentoo will then be in a position to enter discussions regarding future works.

Gentoo would reserve the right not to award more than the initial tranche of properties should performance issues arise.
