This procurement falls under the services category and is currently in the tender stage, with bids due by 26th August 2019. The estimated value of the contract ranges between £1,000,000 and £2,000,000. The procurement method adopted is a selective negotiated procedure, highlighting the need for a comprehensive solution incorporating design, supply, delivery, installation, testing, and commissioning of the system. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those involved in the design and installation of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems, as well as those capable of innovative cooling solutions. Companies with experience in large-scale electrical installation and insulation work are well-positioned to compete effectively. The project not only allows for direct financial gains but also offers a valuable chance to work with a key player in the renewable energy sector, fostering potential long-term partnerships and innovative developments in the industry. ## Notice This Invitation to Participate ("ITP") has been issued by the ORE Catapult as part of a competitive procurement exercise in accordance with the "Competitive procedure with Negotiation" for tendering under the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (as amended from time to time). The ORE Catapult currently operate its test facilities in Blyth, Northumberland which test and validate new renewable technologies. The ORE Catapult plan to upgrade the cooling and ventilation capability of its 15MW Drivetrain test hall (the "Test Hall") to manage heat losses observed during testing. The cooling and ventilation system will require upgrades to air and process water systems. The ITP details the minimum requirements for the Design, Supply, Delivery, Installation, Test and Commissioning of a Cooling & Ventilation System (the "Service"), using the Model Form of Contract ("MF1"). For the avoidance of doubt, this procurement exercise will NOT be broken down into separate Lots. It is the ORE Catapults intention to award this Contract to a single supplier. The ORE Catapult is prepared to consider alternative purchasing solutions, which may include but not limited to the following: The outright purchase of complete permanent upgrade to its existing system; Hire for 4 years; Lease to buy over 4 years. The ORE Catapult do not wish to restrict the method of achieving the required system performance and would consider any proposed solution for which the performance shall be demonstrated and maintained by the Contractor. Notwithstanding the minimum requirements scope of work, the ORE Catapult reserve the right to evaluate and accept improvements / upgrades / modifications of the Service where such future Variation enhances the performance. All Variations shall be carried out utilising the ORE Catapult Contract Change Note process. NB: The minimum requirements and the award criteria shall not be subject to negotiation. The "competitive procedures with negotiation" may take place in successive stages in order to reduce the number of tenders to be negotiated by applying the award criteria specified in the evaluation criteria as published in the ITP document. The ORE Catapult reserve the right to award the contract on the basis of the initial tenders without negotiation. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e87f5ba2-ec50-42c8-97ca-7779e289557e | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Negotiated procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 26 Jul 2019 | | Submission deadline | 26 Aug 2019 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 1 Oct 2019 - 30 Nov 2023 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £2,000,000 | | 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 | OFFSHORE RENEWABLE ENERGY CATAPULT | | Locality | BLYTH | | Post town | Newcastle upon Tyne | | Postcode | NE24 1LZ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLC North East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLC4 Northumberland, Durham and Tyne & Wear | | ITL 3 | TLC42 Northumberland | | Local authority | Northumberland | | Electoral ward | Croft | | Westminster constituency | Blyth and Ashington | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 42 - Industrial machinery - 45 - Construction work ### Codes - 42500000 - Cooling and ventilation equipment - 45310000 - Electrical installation work - 45320000 - Insulation work - 45331200 - Ventilation and air-conditioning installation work - 45331230 - Installation work of cooling equipment ## Release History - 26 Jul 2019 at 16:30 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e87f5ba2-ec50-42c8-97ca-7779e289557e ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e87f5ba2-ec50-42c8-97ca-7779e289557e 26th July 2019 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - https://www.ore.catapult.org.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
