## Summary

The procurement process is being conducted by the CTM Portal for the NDA Shared Services Alliance, focusing on the upgrade of boiler fuel systems under the title "D1432 Boiler Fuel Conversion Upgrade." This project falls within the industry category of repair and maintenance services of boilers and is located at the Dounreay site in Thurso, Caithness. The procurement is at the Tender stage, with a submission deadline set for 17th February 2022. The total contract value is approximately £234,000, with a minimum value of £180,000. The contract period is scheduled to commence on 6th April 2022 and conclude on 31st December 2022, following an open procurement method.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialised in boiler maintenance and energy transition services, particularly those capable of implementing fuel conversion projects. Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) can particularly benefit, as the procurement encourages the participation of smaller companies that can meet the technical requirements for upgrading fuel systems. Firms focusing on energy efficiency and sustainable practices would also be well-suited, given the shift from heavy fuel oil to Class C2 Kerosene in response to regulatory changes.

## Notice

Dounreay Site Restoration Ltd (DSRL / the Purchaser), owns and operates three Cochran Horizontal Multitubular Thermax steam boilers, each having a maximum rated evaporation rate of 6820 kg/hr at 6.9 Bar(g) (169.95degC) to produce saturated steam for use across the Dounreay site. These boilers currently burn heavy fuel oil to BS 2869 to produce this steam. However, with the degradation of the existing heavy fuel oil storage systems and change within the Medium Combustion Plants directive, the fuel supply to these boilers needs to be changed to Class C2 Kerosene to BS 2869.
