## Summary

The University of Sheffield is procuring a Fischer-Tropsch plant as part of its initiative to establish a National Translational Energy Research Centre (TERC) in Yorkshire and the Humber, focusing on bio-energy and carbon capture technologies. This tender, classified under the CPV code for petroleum products and energy sources, is currently in the award stage after being published on 5th November 2019. The procurement process follows an open method with a tender period that ended on 12th December 2019. The overall contract value is £1,500,000, with a minimum value of £800,000, and the contract is scheduled to commence on 2nd November 2020 and conclude on 6th November 2020.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for SMEs specialising in renewable energy technologies, particularly those involved in biofuel production and carbon capture systems. Businesses with capabilities in manufacturing or supplying equipment for CCUS technologies would be well-positioned to compete for this contract, potentially expanding their market presence and contributing to the UK's green energy initiatives. The collaboration with the University of Sheffield also allows suppliers to be part of cutting-edge research and development in sustainable energy.

## Notice

We are setting up a National Translational Energy Research Centre (TERC) and are looking to procure a wide range of new equipment focusing on bio-energy, renewable energy and carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) technologies. Flue gas from all combustion systems will be integrated into the on-site carbon capture plants. The captured C02 will be utilised in an on-site Fischer-Tropsch plant along with hydrogen generated onsite from renewable resources in order to produce green fuel for use in the turbines/engines for full-chain CCUS demonstration. As part of the equipment portfolio we are looking to procure a Fischer-Tropsch plant for aviation fuel production to broaden and support our extensive research, development and deployment activities at the centre. The plant will take C02 and H2 from storage and convert it to aviation liquid fuels. Additional information: All enquiries relating to this tender, along with the tender documents & returns, must be conducted & submitted via the In-tend site referred to above.
