Summary of the contracting process

Fife Council in the UK, as part of moving towards Net Zero emissions, is planning a procurement process for the supply of Heat Interface Units for district heating systems. The tender, at the planning stage, aims to identify suitable HIUs for current and future district heating schemes in locations like Dunfermline and Glenrothes. The procurement process involves gathering information from manufacturers to shortlist and evaluate the best HIU products for efficient and cost-effective heating solutions.

This opportunity created by Fife Council's tender for Heat Interface Units presents a chance for businesses in the energy efficiency sector to provide robust and reliable products for district heating systems. Companies specialising in the supply and installation of heating equipment, particularly HIUs, would find this tender well-suited for their expertise. The planned procurement process offers a potential growth opportunity for businesses that offer innovative and sustainable solutions in the field of energy-efficient heating technologies.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Supply of Heat Interface Units for use with District Heat Systems

Notice Description

As Fife Council moves to Net Zero, we need to explore different methods of providing heat to domestic and non-domestic properties. District heating has proven to be a cost effective, low carbon heating solution. We already have 2 district heating schemes in Fife. One in Dunfermline and one in Glenrothes. For district heating to work effectively, a Heat Interface Unit (HIU) is required to transfer the heat from the primary energy flow, to the secondary energy in the property to be heated. These HIU's are a vitally important component of district heating systems and we are looking to identify the best units for our specific purpose. At present, we have approximately 350 HIU's installed within properties in Fife. Some of these will need replaced in the near future. We also plan to expand the use of district heating so there will be an increased requirement for HIU's. We need to identify the most suitable HIU's for our purpose. In the main, this will be a robust, reliable, efficient and cost effective HIU product. To ensure we have the most up to date information on the various products available, we need some key information about the HIU's. We have prepared the attached Spreadsheet so it can be populated with manufacturers information. From this information, we will identify a short list of suitable HIU's before preparing documentation for a tender exercise where we can evaluate cost and quality in more detail.
