## Summary

The Cornish Geothermal Distillery Company Ltd is inviting tenders for the procurement of equipment for their innovative geothermal rum distillery project, with a focus on cask maturation systems. This procurement process is classified under the beverages and industrial process control equipment industries and is taking place in the South West, UK. Currently in the tender stage, interested parties must submit their proposals by 7th December 2021. The contract is expected to commence on 1st January 2022 and to conclude by 30th April 2022, with a total estimated value of £40,000, accessible through an open procurement method suitable for Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) and Voluntary, Community, and Social Enterprises (VCSEs).

This tender presents a compelling opportunity for businesses specialising in distillery equipment and industrial process controls, particularly those with experience in sustainable and innovative brewing or distillation methods. Suppliers well-versed in geothermal technology, high-temperature heat pumps, and energy-efficient systems would be particularly well-placed to compete. Successful participation in this contract could not only enhance their project portfolio but also establish a foothold in the burgeoning sector of sustainable beverage production.

## Notice

Cornish Geothermal Distillery Company (CGDC) is developing the world's first geothermal rum distillery and cask maturation facility. The distillery will be supplied by waste geothermal hot water with an input temperature of 60oC-80oC. A high temperature heat pump will boost the input heat to supply 120oC steam to run a bespoke pot still and double (non-heated) retort system for making rum; the pressure of the input steam is as required by the tender's solution. The condensate will be recycled. The purchase of this system is part of a grant funded application process and therefore procurement will be subject to grant approval of the project as a whole. We will compare tenders received on a compliance basis only. Tenderers should follow the instructions in the ITT on how to submit their response.
