## Notice

Cornish Geothermal Distillery Company (CGDC) is developing the world's first geothermal rum distillery and cask maturation facility. The distillery will be supplied by waste geothermal hot water with an input temperature of 60degC-80degC. A high temperature heat pump will boost the input heat to supply 120degC steam to run a bespoke pot still and double retort system for making rum. The purchase of this system is part of a grant funded application process and therefore procurement will be subject to grant approval of the project as a whole. We will compare tenders received on a compliance basis only. Tenderers should follow the instructions in the ITT on how to submit their response.
