This initiative encompasses two areas within the Borough: Ellesmere Port and Chester, and aims to assess the multi-vector energy usage in the Ellesmere Port industrial corridor. The tender period is set to conclude on 16th October 2017, with contract delivery expected to start on 12th November 2017 and continue until 28th February 2019. This open procedure covers services in the business category, specifically focusing on legal, marketing, consulting, and recruitment aspects. The delivery addresses are located in the North West region of the United Kingdom. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in consultancy services, particularly those experienced in energy assessment, modelling, and feasibility studies for district energy systems. Companies that have a strong background in working with multi-vector energy projects or have the capability to conduct large-scale energy assessments would be particularly well-positioned to compete. Engaging in this project could enhance the growth trajectory of such businesses while contributing to sustainable energy solutions within the community. ## Notice Cheshire West and Chester Borough Council has secured funding from the Government's Heat Newtork Delivery Unit to undertake feasibility studies for the development of heat networks in two areas within the Borough; Ellesmere Port and Chester. In addition to the Feasibility Studies, this Specification requires a tandem assessment of the multi-vector energy usage within the Ellesmere Port industrial corridor. A recently completed a heat mapping, energy masterplanning and initial techno-economic feasibility study was commissioned by the Council and undertaken by external consultants during 2015/2016. The study identified potential network opportunities within Ellesmere Port and a further network opportunity in Chester. This tender is to move the two areas forward and is concerned with securing expertise, capability and tools; in multi-vector (heat and electricity) modelling and energy assessment of buildings, clusters of buildings, and district energy systems over large areas. Previous studies by CWAC have initiated and progressed a preliminary understanding of the energy usage in the two geographies identified. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f9fd85c6-bcf5-43a1-984e-46c41035c871 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 18 Sep 2017 | | Submission deadline | 16 Oct 2017 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 12 Nov 2017 - 28 Feb 2019 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | 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 | CHESHIRE WEST AND CHESTER | | Locality | CHESTER | | Post town | Chester | | Postcode | CH1 2NP | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD6 Cheshire | | ITL 3 | TLD63 Cheshire West and Chester | | Local authority | Cheshire West and Chester | | Electoral ward | Chester City & the Garden Quarter | | Westminster constituency | Chester North and Neston | | Delivery location | TLD North West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 79000000 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ## Release History - 18 Sep 2017 at 09:34 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f9fd85c6-bcf5-43a1-984e-46c41035c871 - 4 Sep 2017 at 13:44 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f9fd85c6-bcf5-43a1-984e-46c41035c871 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f9fd85c6-bcf5-43a1-984e-46c41035c871 18th September 2017 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=768522b1-0b67-e711-80e3-005056b64545 Advert ## Notice URLs - http://www.cheshirewestandchester.gov.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
