## Summary

Cheltenham Borough Council has awarded a contract for the supply of a generator and hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO) fuel management service for the Cheltenham Ice Rink 2024 project. The procurement falls under the industry category of generators (CPV code 31120000) and is a continuation of the Council's efforts to reduce environmental impact, having implemented a successful hybrid power solution in 2023. The procurement process began as an open procedure, with key dates including the tender period end date on 31st May 2024 and the contract period from 24th June 2024 to 26th January 2025. The total contract value is £22,226, awarded to PKUK Ltd T/A PK-UK Events, and the project is located in Gloucestershire, South West United Kingdom, with a postal code of GL50 9SA.

This procurement presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), as highlighted by the Council's suitability criteria favouring these businesses. Companies in the power generation and fuel management sectors, especially those experienced in providing environmentally friendly solutions, would find this contract attractive. The focus on reducing CO2 emissions and noise pollution aligns with the broader industry trends towards sustainability, making it an excellent chance for businesses to both enhance their portfolio and contribute to green initiatives. The open procurement method ensures a transparent and competitive tendering process, suitable for businesses striving to expand their presence in the public sector.

## Notice

In winter 2023, in a bid to reduce the environmental impact of the Cheltenham Ice Rink, Cheltenham Borough Council commissioned an innovative power solution. The hybrid set-up utilised a high-capacity mobile battery, the existing onsite power supply and an efficient and silenced generator fuelled with hydrotreated vegetable oil. This proved hugely effective and led to a notable reduction in both CO2e and noise emissions compared to the previous rink and industry standards. Cheltenham Borough Council is looking to implement the same solution for 2024 and has developed the specification based upon knowledge and experience gained in delivery of the project in 2023. The same suppliers will be used for provision of the ice rink, S3K, and the battery, KoniK. Cheltenham Borough Council is now seeking a supplier to provide the generator and fuel management service.
