Summary of the contracting process

Cheshire West and Chester Borough Council is currently conducting a tender process for a "Geothermal feasibility study," which aims to explore the potential for implementing a shallow geothermal scheme in the Ellesmere Port and Chester areas. This initiative falls under the business services category, specifically consulting, and is part of a project expected to begin from 1st November 2018 and run until 1st November 2019. The tender remains active, with submissions due by 2nd October 2018, under an open procurement method.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in consulting services, particularly those with expertise in renewable energy solutions and feasibility studies. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) would be particularly well-suited to compete, as the project requires detailed investigations into technical specifications and implementation strategies for geothermal technologies. Companies that can effectively demonstrate their capabilities in risk assessment, cost analysis, and project management will have a competitive edge.

Notice Title

Geothermal feasibility study

Notice Description

Cheshire West and Chester Borough Council is seeking to appoint a consultant to investigate the potential for shallow geothermal scheme in the Ellesmere Port and Chester areas to provide pre-heated water to secondary heating technologies in a district heating network. Detailed investigation is required to set out the technical specification should a viable site be identified. The technical specification would include; the risks and costs of implementation, methods to maximise heat transfer, and the viability of connecting to different heat boosting temperature technologies across a wider distributed heat network with an action plan for implementation clearly defined and scoped out. The Study is also required to consider the potential phasing of a project.
