The tender, titled "Wind Turbine Feasibility Services," falls under the industry categories of electricity distribution and related services, architectural and related services, and environmental services. The procurement is at the tender stage with a start date of 14 October 2024, and firms must submit their bids by 23 September 2024. This open procedure targets businesses capable of delivering detailed analysis and designs consistent with RIBA Stages 1 through 4, leading to a robust business case for further development to RIBA Stages 5 and 6. The total project value is estimated between £30,000 and £49,999. This opportunity offers businesses specialising in feasibility studies, engineering, architectural services, and environmental consultancy a chance to contribute substantially to a high-profile renewable energy project. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are particularly encouraged to apply. Companies well-versed in techno-economic assessments and experienced in delivering comprehensive reports for planning applications will find this tender ideal for showcasing their expertise. This project can enhance a firm’s portfolio within the renewable energy sector and establish a pivotal role in advancing sustainable energy initiatives in Lancaster. ## Notice The Council wishes to tender openly for RIBA Stage 4 feasibility, techno-economic modelling and designs to build wind turbines on 2 separate council sites as shown in "Middleton Wind Potential Sites.png" and "SALC and Landfill Owership.pdf". This work is funded by UKSPF and must be delivered by 14 March 2025. The deliverables should be split into two work packages (WP). WP 1 should include a high-level assessment to RIBA Stage 1 and 2 standard (and in) and shortlist options, identifying preferred projects that could be commercially viable. WP 2 should be contingent on the outcomes of WP1 and proceed to RIBA stages 3 and 4. The cost of each work package should be separated and a decision whether to proceed onto WP 2 will be required before work starts. The output reports should be detailed enough to support a planning application. The techno-economic assessment and commercials should provide sufficient detail to form a robust business case and, critically, facilitate an investment decision to take the project(s) forward to RIBA 5 & 6. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e195e52a-4b13-46f5-bff5-b7805b31d39a | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 23 Aug 2024 | | Submission deadline | 23 Sep 2024 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 13 Oct 2024 - 28 Feb 2025 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £49,999 | | 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 | LANCASTER CITY COUNCIL | | Locality | LANCASTER | | Post town | Lancaster | | Postcode | LA1 1PJ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD4 Lancashire | | ITL 3 | TLD44 Lancaster and Wyre | | Local authority | Lancaster | | Electoral ward | Castle | | Westminster constituency | Lancaster and Wyre | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 65 - Public utilities - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services - 90 - Sewage, refuse, cleaning and environmental services ### Codes - 65300000 - Electricity distribution and related services - 65400000 - Other sources of energy supplies and distribution - 71200000 - Architectural and related services - 71300000 - Engineering services - 71500000 - Construction-related services - 71600000 - Technical testing, analysis and consultancy services - 71700000 - Monitoring and control services - 90700000 - Environmental services ## Release History - 23 Aug 2024 at 07:44 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e195e52a-4b13-46f5-bff5-b7805b31d39a ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e195e52a-4b13-46f5-bff5-b7805b31d39a 23rd August 2024 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - http://www.lancaster.gov.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
