Summary of the contracting process

The Dorchester Town Council is initiating a tender for the installation of a ground source heating system at the Weymouth Avenue Pavilion in Dorchester, Dorset. The procurement process is currently in the tender stage, with submissions due by 29 May 2020. The project is part of the council's renewables programme, aiming to enhance energy efficiency in public facilities. The estimated contract value is £50,000, with a minimum value of £35,000. Bidders are encouraged to provide their own designs and installation methods while adhering to the performance specifications outlined in the tender documents. The contract is expected to commence on 1 August 2020 and conclude by 30 September 2020.

This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses engaged in installation services, particularly those specialising in renewable energy solutions and heating systems. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are particularly well-suited to compete, given the non-prescriptive nature of the tender requirements. Companies that can demonstrate innovative design capabilities, as well as expertise in energy-efficient systems, will have a competitive edge. Businesses interested in this contract should prepare to exhibit their familiarity with ground source heating technologies and the requisite installation practices to meet the council’s performance standards.

Notice Title

Installation of Ground Source Heating System

Notice Description

As a part of Dorchester Town Council's renewables programme the Council wishes to install a ground source heating system at its Weymouth Avenue Pavilion, Dorchester, Dorset UK. Every potential contractor will have their own preferred designs, equipment suppliers and installation methods. In recognition of this the tender documents are not prescriptive in detail but a specification for the performance and function of the completed installation is included. However the requirements laid out in the document are the minimum specification required and any modification to this standard such that a facility or service is removed or degraded will require the approval in writing of Dorchester Town Council. A new ground source heat pump system will be installed within the Pavilion to provide heat and hot water. Replacement heat emitters will be provided to deliver the required levels of heat to the designated areas within the Pavilion. Hot water will be stored and made available to users of the changing rooms, configured to the correct capacity to ensure adequate supply is available at peak usage times. The whole system should be designed to be as energy efficient as possible both in terms of thermal efficiency and heat distribution efficiency. The Tenderer will supply, install and commission all components and controls to make a successful fully operational heat and hot water system. Any offer submitted should include the following: The design, supply, installation and commissioning of a complete ground source heating system as specified in this document. The removal of existing and redundant equipment including heaters, cylinders and pipe work as necessary. The design, supply and installation of the hydraulic interface between the new ground source system and the existing heating/supply systems.
