This open procurement process is active, with the tender period closing on 9th February 2021. The BSL is essential for suppliers of solid biomass fuel to demonstrate compliance with the Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) sustainability criteria across the United Kingdom, Isle of Man, Guernsey, and Jersey. This contract will be in effect from 1st July 2021 to 30th June 2023 and falls under the classification of financial and insurance services. This procurement presents significant opportunities for SMEs in the energy and environmental management sectors, particularly those specialising in biomass fuel compliance and sustainability. Companies that can provide administrative services, and those with expertise in managing supplier databases and compliance monitoring, would be well-suited to compete for this contract. Engaging in this tender could facilitate growth and strengthen market positioning within the renewable energy sector, tapping into the increasing demand for sustainable solutions. ## Notice Text to be corrected in the original notice: Place of text to be modified: II.1.5) Instead of: Value excluding VAT:250,000 Currency:GBP Read: Value excluding VAT:2,600,000. Currency:GBP The Biomass Suppliers List consists of suppliers of solid biomass fuel (log, chip or pellet) who have demonstrated that the fuel they have listed on the BSL complies with the Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) sustainability criteria. It also includes self-suppliers of woody biomass (both groups are defined later in this document). The key aims of the BSL are to: 1) create a list of woody biomass suppliers who are selling woody biomass fuel that complies with the RHI sustainability and land use criteria; and, 2) provide access to a public-facing version of this list so RHI participants can purchase BSL authorised fuel in order to demonstrate compliance with the sustainability criteria set out in the RHI Regulations. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/81c28cd5-46bd-4caf-9465-9b17fdbdf60f | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (above threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 15 Jan 2021 | | Submission deadline | 9 Feb 2021 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 30 Jun 2021 - 30 Jun 2023 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £1 | | 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 | INVITATION TO TENDER FOR THE ADMINISTRATION OF THE (BIOMASS SUPPLIERS LIST) BSL ON BEHALF OF BEIS | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | Not specified | | Postcode | S W1H | | Country | Not specified | | ITL 1 | Not specified | | ITL 2 | Not specified | | ITL 3 | Not specified | | Local authority | Not specified | | Electoral ward | Not specified | | Westminster constituency | Not specified | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 66 - Financial and insurance services ### Codes - 66000000 - Financial and insurance services ## Release History - 15 Jan 2021 at 14:33 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/81c28cd5-46bd-4caf-9465-9b17fdbdf60f - 6 Jan 2021 at 09:46 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/81c28cd5-46bd-4caf-9465-9b17fdbdf60f ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/81c28cd5-46bd-4caf-9465-9b17fdbdf60f 15th January 2021 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.delta-esourcing.com/tenders/UK-UK-London:-Financial-and-insurance-services./56CUDMAC77 Please follow this link to view the notice. ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
