## Summary

The Glastonbury Clean Energy Project Phase 1 (Feasibility) is a public procurement initiative led by Mendip District Council, aimed at developing feasibility studies for energy generation projects in Glastonbury, South West England. This project is part of the Government's Town Deal Initiative, with a substantial funding allocation of £2.6 million designated for the feasibility work, which must be completed by 28 June 2022. The tender period concluded on 19 October 2021, and the contract is scheduled to commence on 29 November 2021, running until 30 June 2022. The procurement process followed an open procedure and is classified under CPV codes relating to feasibility studies and project design preparation.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the renewable energy and environmental consultancy sectors. Companies that specialise in feasibility studies, project planning, and renewable energy solutions, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary and community sector enterprises (VCSEs), would be well-suited to engage in this procurement. The project's focus on community energy generation and achieving carbon neutrality aligns with growing market demands for sustainable development, potentially leading to further contracts as the community develops its infrastructure and energy initiatives.

## Notice

Description Glastonbury is one of the 101 towns in England within the Government's Town Deal Initiative and has been offered a PS23.6 million grant to deliver the 12 projects in the Glastonbury Town Investment Plan - see https://www.mendip.gov.uk/glastotowndeal - subject to developing viable Business Cases which must be completed by 28 June 2022. One of the projects is the Glastonbury Clean Energy Project and the Council is proposing to appoint a contractor for a period of seven months to carry out feasibility work and help develop the project's Business Case & Plan . This Glastonbury Clean Energy Project is being led and delivered by Avalon Community Energy (ACE) and will be located on Beckery on the outer edge of Glastonbury. It comprises a substantial investment in community energy generation and transport infrastructure. PS2.6 million is being made available from the Town Deal to deliver it and match funding will come from community investment and a provisional sum of PS1 million was included in the initial project proposal. The purposes for which the annual surpluses are applied will be determined in collaboration with stakeholders through a mutually agreed governance arrangement (TBA). Phase 1 will determine the scope and scale of: * the subsequent multi million capital investment in community energy generation * the contribution to achieving Glastonbury's carbon neutral goal * the surplus available for future community benefit. As a guide, ACE has done a preliminary assessment of solar, wind and anaerobic digestion energy generation potential which could save around 1k tonnes of carbon per year and yield an annual revenue surplus of PS100 - PS200k and may comprise, but not limited to, a mix of community owned installations e.g.: * Solar PV - with a provisional mix (subject to detailed analysis) of 4.4 MW ground-mounted solar array + 500kW of roof top PV panels providing power to adjacent Town Deal Projects, adjacent business premises and local customers; * 1 MW battery to balance energy generation with demand; * 50 EV charge points at the Park and Ride with a bank of slow and rapid charge points - number and capacity TBD Expressions of Interest (EoI) Notification of EoI Please notify your interest in this RFQ via e-mail to 'procurement@mendip.gov.uk'.
