Summary of the contracting process

The University of Plymouth is leading a procurement process for the construction of the Low Carbon Devon Test and Deployment Facility, aimed at fostering low-carbon economic growth in the South West region of the United Kingdom. The tender is currently in the open stage, allowing for submissions until 28th April 2022, with the contract period anticipated to commence on 1st June 2022 and conclude by 31st August 2022. The total value of the contract is approximately £68,500, funded by the European Regional Development Fund, under the main industry category of construction work.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) involved in innovative construction practices or energy-efficient technologies. Companies that specialise in testing and deploying sustainable solutions or those with expertise in energy management, environmental research, or building efficiency would be particularly well-suited to compete.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Low Carbon Devon Test and Deployment Facility

Notice Description

The Sustainability Hub: Low Carbon Devon project will provide an exciting new catalyst for low-carbon economic growth in Devon. Supported by an investment from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), the three-year PS2.6 million programme, will support Devon-based organisations to access research, business support, and engage with the University of Plymouth around the low-carbon agenda. The University of Plymouth is looking to appoint a contractor for construction of the controlled test facility on the main campus that will: 1. Test and develop new innovative solutions and products for reducing energy and CO2 emissions with businesses, including SME's 2. Deploy and demonstrate a range of existing innovative, commercially available energy efficient technologies 3. Allow the Energy Efficiency in Buildings (Occupant Behaviour) Research Fellow to undertake research into human factors and responses to the solutions and products. The test and deployment facility will be designed as a "plug and play" environment, allowing businesses to apply to test their solutions and products for a period of time in the facility's controlled environmental conditions (e.g. temperature, humidity) and where appropriate also access Low Carbon Devon's research expertise in human factors and responses to those solutions and products (e.g. occupant behaviour, usability testing, comfort, thermal stress, productivity, performance, mood, creativity, etc.). The test facility will allow businesses to demonstrate or validate the potential energy and carbon savings of their solutions and products. The controlled environmental conditions in the facility would also allow businesses and the researchers to demonstrate or validate the energy and carbon savings of the solutions and products for both current and future climates (i.e. changes triggered by climate change) as well as for other global regions allowing businesses to consider potential for export.
