The tender is currently in the open stage, allowing for submissions until 28th April 2022, with the contract period anticipated to commence on 1st June 2022 and conclude by 31st August 2022. The total value of the contract is approximately £68,500, funded by the European Regional Development Fund, under the main industry category of construction work. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) involved in innovative construction practices or energy-efficient technologies. Companies that specialise in testing and deploying sustainable solutions or those with expertise in energy management, environmental research, or building efficiency would be particularly well-suited to compete. The facility will also enable successful bidders to collaborate with academic experts to validate their technologies in controlled conditions, potentially enhancing their market competitiveness and export capabilities. ## Notice The Sustainability Hub: Low Carbon Devon project will provide an exciting new catalyst for low-carbon economic growth in Devon. Supported by an investment from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), the three-year PS2.6 million programme, will support Devon-based organisations to access research, business support, and engage with the University of Plymouth around the low-carbon agenda. The University of Plymouth is looking to appoint a contractor for construction of the controlled test facility on the main campus that will: 1. Test and develop new innovative solutions and products for reducing energy and CO2 emissions with businesses, including SME's 2. Deploy and demonstrate a range of existing innovative, commercially available energy efficient technologies 3. Allow the Energy Efficiency in Buildings (Occupant Behaviour) Research Fellow to undertake research into human factors and responses to the solutions and products. The test and deployment facility will be designed as a "plug and play" environment, allowing businesses to apply to test their solutions and products for a period of time in the facility's controlled environmental conditions (e.g. temperature, humidity) and where appropriate also access Low Carbon Devon's research expertise in human factors and responses to those solutions and products (e.g. occupant behaviour, usability testing, comfort, thermal stress, productivity, performance, mood, creativity, etc.). The test facility will allow businesses to demonstrate or validate the potential energy and carbon savings of their solutions and products. The controlled environmental conditions in the facility would also allow businesses and the researchers to demonstrate or validate the energy and carbon savings of the solutions and products for both current and future climates (i.e. changes triggered by climate change) as well as for other global regions allowing businesses to consider potential for export. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d327f9cc-62fa-4c1e-84c4-bc1af8c41d5c | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 1 Apr 2022 | | Submission deadline | 28 Apr 2022 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 May 2022 - 31 Aug 2022 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £68,500 | | 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 | EU SUPPLY LIMITED | | Additional buyers | UNIVERSITY OF PLYMOUTH | | Locality | PLYMOUTH, DEVON | | Post town | Plymouth | | Postcode | PL4 8AA | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK4 Devon | | ITL 3 | TLK41 Plymouth | | Local authority | Plymouth | | Electoral ward | Drake | | Westminster constituency | Plymouth Sutton and Devonport | | Delivery location | TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 45 - Construction work ### Codes - 45000000 - Construction work - 45210000 - Building construction work ## Release History - 1 Apr 2022 at 13:06 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d327f9cc-62fa-4c1e-84c4-bc1af8c41d5c - 29 Mar 2022 at 16:01 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d327f9cc-62fa-4c1e-84c4-bc1af8c41d5c ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d327f9cc-62fa-4c1e-84c4-bc1af8c41d5c 1st April 2022 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://uk.eu-supply.com/app/rfq/rwlentrance_s.asp?PID=45361&B=UNIVERSITYPLYMOUTH Additional data - https://uk.eu-supply.com/ctm/Company/CompanyInformation/Index/97185 User / Company ## Notice URLs - https://www.plymouth.ac.uk/about-us/university-structure/service-areas/procurement ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
