## Summary

Plymouth City Council is seeking to enhance its Civic Centre development through the "City Centre District Energy Investigation Works" project, which focuses on evaluating the feasibility of a groundwater-based heating and cooling system. This procurement is classified under the industry category of Test drilling and boring work, with a project budget of £490,000. The tender was awarded on 6th June 2019, and the associated contract is scheduled to commence on 10th June 2019 and run until 22nd November 2019. The tender process has been recorded and marks a complete status.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that specialise in ground investigations, drilling, and exploration work. Businesses adept in providing innovative energy solutions or those with expertise in environmental assessments will find this an ideal opportunity for collaboration with Plymouth City Council and a platform for growth in the public sector market.

## Notice

The main purpose of the work is to assess the efficiency/feasibility of a groundwater based open loop heating/cooling system for the Civic Centre development. This process will include the installation of groundwater wells suitable for the abstraction and injection/absorption of groundwater. It is proposed to undertake a phased investigation to provide a cost effective investigation of the groundwater beneath the site. This will ensure that preliminary results are assessed as to the feasibility of the project at an early stage. The Works are planned to consist of three main phases.
