## Summary

The London Borough of Southwark has awarded a contract titled "The decarbonising of Southwark District Heating Plantrooms" for the installation of commercial scale aquifer fed heat pumps. This project falls under the construction industry category and is part of their Major Works framework, specifically Lot 3 - Heating. The contract, valued at £6,995,695, was awarded on 22nd June 2020, with the contract period running from 23rd June 2020 to 27th August 2021. The procurement process followed a tendering method with a deadline for submissions that closed on 27th February 2020.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses focused on sustainable construction and heating technologies, particularly those that specialise in energy efficiency and innovative heating solutions. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in the installation of renewable energy systems would be well-positioned to compete in future similar tenders, thereby fostering growth in the evolving market for green technologies. Businesses are encouraged to explore potential collaborations or partnerships to enhance their competitiveness in upcoming projects initiated by the London Borough of Southwark.

## Notice

Southwark Council will shortly be using our Major Works framework (Lot 3 - Heating) to procure a main D&B contractor for the installation of commercial scale aquifer fed heat pumps in a small number of our district boiler houses. A feasibility study of five sites was carried out by Calford Seaden with specialist input provided by ICAX on the hydrogeological assessment side. As a result of the feasibility, two sites have been discounted leaving three that were deemed technically and financially viable - Consort, Newington and Wyndham. All main contractors on Lot 3 of the framework were invited to attend an information day and site visit in September, which included some background information on the project at that stage and the chance to see an aquifer based water source heat pump in action at the London South Bank University.
