Lot Information
Lot 1
The supply of Woodchip Biomass Fuel for Eden Campus Energy Centre in Guardbridge. Eden Estuary Energy Limited (EEEL) owns the Eden Campus Energy Centre and District Heat Network. This is operated on a day-to-day basis by the University of St Andrews. This heat network provides heating and hot water to 44 buildings within the University's teaching and student residence buildings within St Andrews town. The heat source for this district heat network is provided by a 6.5MW Biomass Energy Centre which is located within the University's Eden Campus at Guardbridge. The Energy Centre Biomass Furnace is fueled by virgin coniferous soft wood woodchip in the form of a P45s graded biomass woodchip. The woodchip delivery system requires deliveries to be deposited using a 'walking floor' HGV trailer. The normal delivery load is c.25 tonnes. The woodchip is deposited via the walking floor trailer into one of two woodchip storage silos which will have been pre-prepared to accept deliveries by the University's Biomass Operations Team. In previous years, the Energy Centre biomass furnace has burnt approximately 10,000 tonnes of virgin softwood woodchip per annum to meet the University's heat demand. Annual woodchip usage is however weather dependent, and weather extremes can affect this usage by approximately +-10%. The Biomass Plant's operational heat output plan is dictated by the seasons, with a much higher heat output required during winter months. Full details are included in the Specification, Fuel Supply Agreement and other documents that form part of the tender.. Although EEEL is the Buyer, this procurement is being administered by the University of St Andrews (UoSA).
Renewal: Subject to satisfactory performance and mutual agreement 2 x 12 months extensions may be awarded.

"reviewDetails": "The University of St Andrews will incorporate a minimum of 10 calendar day standstill period at the point of information on the award of the contract being communicated to tenderers. This period allows unsuccessful tenderers to seek further debriefing from the contracting authority before the contract is entered into. Applicants have 2 working days from the notification of the award decision to request additional debriefing and that information has to be provided a minimum of 3 working days before the expiry of the standstill period. Such additional information should be requested from The University of St Andrews. If an appeal regarding the award of contract has not been successfully resolved The Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2012 provide for aggrieved parties who have been harmed or are at risk of harm by a breach of the rule to take action in the Sheriff Court or Court of Session. The anticipated review body in such cases would be: Dundee Sheriff Court 6 West Bell Street Dundee DD1 9AD Telephone: +44 1382 229 961 Anyone bringing court proceedings against the University of St Andrews must inform the University of St Andrews in advance of the alleged breach and its intention to bring proceedings. Any such action must be brought within 15 days of the date on which a decision is sent to them or published to challenge that decision. Proceedings seeking an ineffectiveness order must be brought within 30 days of the publication of the contract award notice in the OJEU, or 30 days from the date of a decision letter to all tenderers concerned, and any candidates concerned, containing a summary of the reason for the recipient being unsuccessful, otherwise 6 months from the date of entering into the contract or concluding the framework agreement. Where a contract has not been entered into the Court may, by interim order, suspend the procurement procedure. The court may also set aside a decision or actions taken by the University or order it to amend and document; and/or award damages. However, by express requirement the court may decide not to grant an interim order when the negative consequences of such an order are likely to outweigh the benefits, having regard to a number of considerations. If the contract has been entered into the Court may, depending on the nature of the breach: make an ineffectiveness order; impose a financial penalty; shorten the duration of the contract; make any other order considered appropriate to address the consequences of ineffectiveness or shortening the duration or the contract; award damages.",
