Summary of the contracting process

The University of Northampton is conducting a procurement process for the appointment of a Biomass Woodchip Supplier, classified under the wood fuels category. The tender, designated as ITT282, is currently in the active stage, with a contract period commencing on 1st December 2021 and lasting for two years, with a possible one-year extension. The delivery location is at the University's Waterside Campus in Northampton (NN1 5PH), and the estimated contract value is approximately £137,185.50 per year. Interested suppliers must meet specific criteria, including the provision of UK-sourced virgin timber to support the University’s commitment to achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2030.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in sustainable timber supply, particularly those specialising in renewable energy or biomass fuels. Companies that can fulfil the requirement for high-quality, UK-sourced G50/MC 25% (+/-5) woodchip would be particularly well-suited to compete. Moreover, firms with expertise in minimising carbon emissions and a strong understanding of the regulatory environment surrounding biomass fuel supply will likely have a competitive advantage. The contract aligns with the growing trend towards sustainable energy solutions, offering potential for expanding a business’s portfolio in the green energy sector.
