This project aims to develop a low-carbon heat network and an associated energy centre, with future expansions planned. The current tender, under the Negotiated Procedure with prior call for competition, falls under the category of District Heating (CPV 09323000) and related construction and civil engineering works. Interested parties must submit their tenders by 15 November 2024, with the project expected to start in early 2025 and Phase 1 completed by March 2028. The estimated value of the contract is £125,000,000. This tender presents significant opportunities for companies specialising in low-carbon energy solutions, civil engineering, and infrastructure development. The selected contractor will undertake a comprehensive project that includes elements such as waste heat exchange, buried pipeline networks, and energy centres, making it ideal for businesses with a strong engineering and energy sector portfolio. Large enterprises with the capacity to manage extensive, multi-phase projects are particularly well-suited to compete, as the requirements exceed typical capabilities of SMEs and VCSEs. Successful execution will position the winning contractor as a leader in sustainable urban infrastructure. ## Notice The Authority intends to appoint a Contractor to design and build (and to subsequently Operate and Maintain) a low carbon heat network and associated energy centre in the city of Hull (the Project). The heat network is intended to be expanded in future Phases. The Project requirements relate to Phase 1 of the Heat Network and the Energy Centre. Within the Phase 1 design, there are four key components of the Project infrastructure: * A waste heat exchange facility and associated infrastructure * The Energy Centre, a new building housing blended heat generation plant, pumping and thermal storage plant located within the city at the Trippett Street Car Park. * The Heat Network, a buried pre-insulated two-pipe low temperature flow and return distribution network consisting of mains, branches and building connections. * Building heat interface connections, plate heat exchangers / heat interface units (HIU) plant and equipment located within customer plant rooms serving customer secondary heating and hot water systems. Kingston upon Hull City Council (the Authority) is conducting the procurement using the Negotiated Procedure with prior call for competition in accordance with the requirements of Regulation 47 of the Utilities Contracts Regulations 2016 (SI 2016 . 274) ) (UCR 2016) for the purpose of procuring the works and services described in the Specification documents (Works and Services). The Authority reserves the right to proceed with the award of the contract following the initial tender submission should it determine, at its sole discretion, that the bids received can be accepted without proceeding with the negotiated stage. It is intended to appoint a principal contractor for these requirements in late 2024, with works to start in early 2025, and for Phase 1 of the network fully completed by March 2028. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/eb7beef0-dda5-40c3-a469-ff2b00a2f1fc | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Negotiated procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 26 Sep 2024 | | Submission deadline | 15 Nov 2024 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 1 Mar 2025 - 28 Feb 2034 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £125,000,000 | | 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 | HULL CITY COUNCIL | | Locality | HULL | | Post town | Hull | | Postcode | HU1 2AA | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | | ITL 2 | TLE1 East Yorkshire and Northern Lincolnshire | | ITL 3 | TLE11 Kingston upon Hull, City of | | Local authority | Kingston upon Hull, City of | | Electoral ward | St Andrew's & Docklands | | Westminster constituency | Kingston upon Hull West and Haltemprice | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 09 - Petroleum products, fuel, electricity and other sources of energy - 32 - Radio, television, communication, telecommunication and related equipment - 42 - Industrial machinery - 45 - Construction work ### Codes - 09323000 - District heating - 32424000 - Network infrastructure - 42515000 - District heating boiler - 45200000 - Works for complete or part construction and civil engineering work - 45251000 - Construction works for power plants and heating plants - 45251200 - Heating plant construction work - 45251250 - District-heating plant construction work ## Release History - 26 Sep 2024 at 20:36 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/eb7beef0-dda5-40c3-a469-ff2b00a2f1fc ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/eb7beef0-dda5-40c3-a469-ff2b00a2f1fc 26th September 2024 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://uk.eu-supply.com/app/rfq/rwlentrance_s.asp?PID=84580&B=UK Additional data - https://uk.eu-supply.com/ctm/Company/CompanyInformation/Index/104102 User / Company ## Notice URLs - https://www.hull.gov.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
