  BDS believe that to meet climate targets all new buildings must operate at net zero carbon by 2030. In light of this, Broadland Development Services strategy for schemes moving forward is to develop ways of achieving the end goal of Homes for the Future. It has been identified that to do this, developments need to focus on ‘building light’, ‘building wise’, ‘building low carbon’, ‘building for the future’ and ‘building collaboratively’. Therefore, the following elements will be central to the design for each project to be procured under this Framework:- oHuman Factors - Focusing on health and wellbeing, user experience and social value oCircular Economy - Focusing on resource efficiency, environmental, health impacts and overall number of resources/materials, and waste oEnergy & Carbon - Focusing on operational energy and Whole Life Carbon oEcology & Biodiversity - Focusing on land use, biodiversity net gain and nature-based solutions oWater – focusing on water use and quality, including Nutrient Neutrality oConnectivity & Transport - Focusing on compactness of the development, walkability, and low carbon transport. BDS has as a result of the above, developed a Climate Specification which outlines design and construction requirements that schemes adhere to in order to achieve the end goal of Homes for the Future. This ethos will be central to projects procured under this Framework; which will expand on these values – it its intended that a Social Value Charter will be drawn up and subject to ongoing discussion and monitoring to support Framework Contractors in furthering their social, environmental and economic objectives. In practice, BDS dwellings typically are constructed using panelised timber frames to achieve high levels of air tightness; supplemented with Air Source Heat Pumps, Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery and Photo Voltaic Panels – to achieve an EPC A rating and moving towards operational net zero carbon. It should be noted that this specification may be adapted during the course of the framework to keep pace with legislation changes (i.e. Future Homes Standard), wider organisational climate objectives and site specific constraints and opportunities. Through past and future projects, BDS aim to support the local supply chain and keep investment in Norfolk for the benefit of local communities. A key requirement of this framework will be for Contractors to have supply chain connections within this region, but also support the wider community through social value and corporate social responsibility initiatives. There is anticipated to be 10 projects to be procured under this framework. The majority of projects will be a construction value in the region £5m to £15m and be in Norfolk and North-Suffolk, UK. The procedure will follow the restricted procedure concluding with the selection of a limited number of Framework Contractors who will be engaged, via mini-competition, for various construction projects over an (up to) 5 year period. Key dates for the procurement are noted for information below, however it should be noted they may be subject to change; 1.SQ Commencement: October 2024 2.ITT Release (to shortlisted tenderers): December 2024 3.Anticipated Contract Award: April 2025 BDS are keen to hear from Contractors of all experience levels and those who share BDS values, so an appropriate ITT can be developed aligned to the skills and capabilities of the market.
