Purpose: This report sets out a proposed approach to the procurement of LED lighting upgrades at Regent High School, Agar Children Centre and Torriano Primary School. The project has already been awarded Greater London Authority (GLA) Greener Schools grant funding of £159,000. The estimated contract value for these works is £390,000. A desktop analysis was undertaken last year to assess the required investment and carbon savings from LED upgrades to the schools and corporate property portfolio. The works will reduce the schools’ energy bills and will also assist the borough towards its 2030 carbon net zero target. It is proposed to use the Lexica’s LED Lighting Framework which is appropriate for a below threshold procurement and complies with the Public Contract Regulations (PCR) 2015 (Regulation 18) and it also complies with the Contract Standing Orders (CSOs).
