By leveraging the advancements made under the Cornwall LEM initiative, businesses can engage in a pioneering project aimed at facilitating broader renewable energy integration, which is of increasing importance in today's market. ## Notice Centrica plc invites you to submit a response in respect of this Invitation to Tender (ITT) for the development of visualisation functionality for the Cornwall Local Energy Market trading platform. The Cornwall LEM Programme: Centrica plc's Cornwall Local Energy Market project (LEM) is an EU-funded pioneering initiative involving the development of a virtual marketplace. The trial provides participants (homes and businesses) with a platform to buy and sell energy, and flexibility to both the supply networks and the wholesale energy market. The project's overarching aim is to demonstrate that the electricity distribution network can facilitate an increased penetration of renewable / low carbon electricity generation by invoking novel strategies including flexibility. LEM project outputs include reducing GHG emissions by enabling more renewable and low carbon electricity generation, as well as enabling energy asset flexibility in the most constrained areas on the distribution network. To this end, the project will install low carbon energy generation assets, such as natural gas CHP, renewable energy generation, storage, private wire networks, and demand-side response technologies into selected industrial and commercial premises in Cornwall. The LEM Platform is the core Information System supporting the Local Energy Market operations. It is being built incrementally, primarily by Centrica Information Systems (IS) personnel, and version 1.0 of the LEM recently went into live operations. What we're looking for: The Cornwall LEM Programme has a requirement to develop the full user experience by providing a visualisation demonstration of what the Local Energy Market is doing (for example, assets and bids/offers status). For this we need to appoint a supplier who can build the underlying visualisation software to be integrated within the existing trading platform, that provides a visual representation of the Cornwall Local Energy Market, detailing aspects of the network along with customer assets participating in the trials. This is intended to engage customers and users in an interesting way. The full specification is contained within the Invitation to Tender (ITT) document pack, which is available on request, and by agreeing to the non-disclosure confidentiality agreement (NDA). All vendors participating will need to submit their tender via Centrica's Ariba procurement portal. Login details will be shared upon signature of NDA. Additional information: Cornwall LEM is part-funded by the European Regional Development Fund (under the ESIF Growth Programme for England 2014-20) and as such operates under national procurement rules. To request the ITT pack, please send an email to Cornwall@centrica.com with this reference in the subject title: Cornwall LEM012b Visualisation Software. We aim to deal with your request within one working day. Questions will not be taken or answered during the ITT stage other than through Centrica's Ariba procurement portal. All questions submitted in Ariba and the answers given will be visible to competing suppliers. Direct communication with a member of the Cornwall LEM team during the tender advertising period is strictly prohibited and may result in your tender being disqualified. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/1f5b5c09-03f1-490a-b641-56fb23bddb80 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Other - Invitation to Tender (National Rules) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 7 Jun 2018 | | Submission deadline | 29 Jun 2018 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 1 Jul 2018 - 31 Dec 2018 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £400,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | CENTRICA PLC | | Locality | TRURO | | Post town | Truro | | Postcode | TR1 3FF | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK3 Cornwall and Isles of Scilly | | ITL 3 | TLK30 Cornwall and Isles of Scilly | | Local authority | Cornwall | | Electoral ward | Gloweth, Malabar & Shortlanesend | | Westminster constituency | Truro and Falmouth | | Delivery location | TLJ South East (England), TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 72 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support ### Codes - 72000000 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support ## Release History - 7 Jun 2018 at 10:37 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/1f5b5c09-03f1-490a-b641-56fb23bddb80 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/1f5b5c09-03f1-490a-b641-56fb23bddb80 7th June 2018 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
