The tender involves the delivery of existing building upgrades, new energy centres, low carbon technology provision, and works on ageing infrastructure. Phase 1 of the project is planned for completion by the end of 2028, with Phase 2 following thereafter. The procurement stage is currently active, with a tender period ending on 25th August 2023 and a contract period starting on 31st August 2023 in the Yorkshire and the Humber region of the UK under the main procurement category of works. This tender by the University of Leeds offers business growth opportunities for companies involved in construction work, energy efficiency, decarbonisation, and infrastructure development. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) well-versed in sustainable construction practices and carbon reduction technologies are particularly suited to compete for this tender. The University's emphasis on market-leading expertise and a collaborative partnership approach presents an attractive opportunity for businesses looking to contribute to carbon reduction efforts and sustainable development. ## Notice As part of its Climate Plan, the University has identified a pathway to net zero. Key to delivery of this ambitious target will be its energy reduction and decarbonisation. To deliver the most effective means of achieving net zero emissions by 2030, we have developed a blended approach to demand reduction and decarbonisation will be supported by enhanced operating changes and behavioural change. This approach will allow us to make the most of the available budget, reduce operational impact, and de-risk delivery. In November 2021, the University Council approved the Pathway to Net Zero 2030, a key commitment of the Climate Plan and one of the University KPI's. We plan to deliver this commitment with an estimated spend of cPS40-100m. The University is looking to engage a Net Zero programme / project strategic delivery partner who will work with the university to deliver the programme. A strategic partner will be required to support, coordinate and deliver the construction elements of the plan. This partnership will embrace market leading expertise, the reduction in campus disruption due to better coordination of works, the ability to learn whilst delivering and retention of accumulated knowledge, and the sharing of risk. The scope of this programme of works includes existing building upgrades, new build energy centres, provision of large-scale low carbon technology and works to the ageing infrastructure / assets replacement works. These deliveries will be underpinned by enabling projects such as increasing our electricity capacity on campus and investing in large-scale renewable energy generation away from our campus. The programme will be split into phases of works, Phase 1 will form part of this procurement exercise and is planned for completion by the end of 2028. Whilst phase 1 projects are being delivered, we will complete further feasibility studies to inform the most effective projects for Phase 2 which will deliver the remaining emissions reductions. Phase 2 will commence later but run concurrently to Phase 1. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/61d0bb71-a331-4eb4-bea8-722110b7bbef | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 2 Aug 2023 | | Submission deadline | 24 Aug 2023 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 30 Aug 2023 - 9 Oct 2023 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £60,000,000 | | 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 | UNIVERSITY OF LEEDS | | Locality | LEEDS | | Post town | Leeds | | Postcode | LS2 9BT | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | | ITL 2 | TLE4 West Yorkshire | | ITL 3 | TLE42 Leeds | | Local authority | Leeds | | Electoral ward | Little London & Woodhouse | | Westminster constituency | Leeds Central and Headingley | | Delivery location | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 45 - Construction work ### Codes - 45000000 - Construction work ## Release History - 2 Aug 2023 at 09:50 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/61d0bb71-a331-4eb4-bea8-722110b7bbef ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/61d0bb71-a331-4eb4-bea8-722110b7bbef 2nd August 2023 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.delta-esourcing.com/tenders/UK-UK-Leeds:-Construction-work./473P674K85 Please follow this link to view the notice. ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
