UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Tai Hedyn Limited, trading as Hedyn, is procuring the supply of woodchip fuel for the Duffryn District Heating Scheme. The fuel will be delivered to Duffryn Boiler House on Henry Morgan Way, Duffryn, Newport. This is a goods requirement for an experienced and qualified woodchip supplier able to support a district heating operation. The buyer is a Welsh public authority operating from Newport. The procurement covers woodchip fuel rather than the construction or operation of the heating infrastructure. Suppliers should therefore be able to provide the required fuel consistently and meet the technical requirements set out in the tender documents. The opportunity is identified under CPV 03410000, covering wood and related wood products.

The procurement has reached tender: the buyer invited offers through an open procedure, with electronic submission allowed via the Delta eSourcing platform. Enquiries were due by 3 September 2026 at 12:00, and offers by 11 September 2026 at 12:00. The contract is scheduled to run from 8 October 2026 to 8 October 2028, with two possible 12-month extensions, giving a maximum duration to 8 October 2030. The stated value is £2,280,952.38 excluding tax and £239,500,000 gross. The contract award decision was due by 23 September 2026 at 23:59. Evaluation is based on price at 70%, quality at 25%, and social value and community benefits at 5%.

This opportunity suits SMEs and established fuel suppliers with relevant woodchip supply experience, suitable technical capability and the capacity to provide consistent deliveries for a district heating scheme. Suppliers must satisfy the economic and technical selection requirements set out in the tender documents and answer quality questions alongside their commercial response. The evaluation gives price the greatest influence, but quality remains significant, so bidders should be able to demonstrate dependable supply arrangements, product conformity and effective delivery capability. The requirement also rewards credible social value and community benefit proposals. It is most relevant to businesses already supplying biomass fuel, wood products or comparable heating-fuel services, including firms able to support a public-sector customer in Wales.
