The procurement is currently in the planning stage, with the engagement end date set for 23rd February 2018. The total funding for this project amounts to £200,000, which includes support from the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA). This market engagement notice is part of a preliminary exercise to gauge interest and gather information rather than a formal tender process. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in energy technology, particularly those specialising in fuel cell systems. Enterprises that can offer innovative solutions for integrating fuel cells into various building types and demonstrate cost-effectiveness would be particularly well-positioned to engage with Nottingham City Council. Additionally, suppliers interested in collaborating with a local authority on sustainable energy initiatives may find this process advantageous for future contracts and partnerships. ## Notice Nottingham City Council has recently been successful in gaining PS200,000.00 funding from the Department for Environment, food and rural affairs (DEFRA) to pilot stationary fuel cell technology in council buildings across Nottingham that are located within the Clean Air Zone. In addition to this additional council funds will be made available to deliver the project. To enable the city council to evaluate the options available within the market we are carrying out a short period of 'soft market testing' in order to understand the interest from and solutions available for the installation of fuel cells for the various types of buildings within our portfolio. In conducting this exercise the City Council would like to understand: A Fuel Cell technology * The options available to introduce fuel cell technology into a variety of Nottingham City Council buildings ranging in size. * The associated costs of each fuel cell option. B Fuel Cell suppliers * Number of suppliers within the market that are interested in working with the city council to install fuel cells within Nottingham. Please note that this is not a formal tender and is only a fact finding process, no contracts will be awarded by completing this document. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/82dcc4d3-160e-4199-bbee-068731a11df7 | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 27 Apr 2017 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 23 Feb 2018 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £200,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planning | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | NOTTINGHAM CITY COUNCIL | | Locality | NOTTINGHAM | | Post town | Nottingham | | Postcode | NG2 3NG | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLF East Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLF1 Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire | | ITL 3 | TLF14 Nottingham | | Local authority | Nottingham | | Electoral ward | Castle | | Westminster constituency | Nottingham East | | Delivery location | TLF East Midlands (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 31 - Electrical machinery, apparatus, equipment and consumables; lighting ### Codes - 31122100 - Fuel cells ## Release History - 27 Apr 2017 at 11:15 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/82dcc4d3-160e-4199-bbee-068731a11df7 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/82dcc4d3-160e-4199-bbee-068731a11df7 27th April 2017 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=cea20615-162b-e711-80df-005056b64545 Advert ## Notice URLs - http://www.nottinghamcity.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
