This service falls under the architectural, construction, engineering, and inspection services category and has a contract value of £240,000, with a minimum threshold of £200,000. The procurement method is an open procedure below the threshold. Key dates include the submission deadline for expressions of interest on 18th February 2022, with the contract expected to commence on 1st July 2022 and continue until 30th June 2026. The majority of installed meters are located at the Bailrigg campus (LA1 4YW). This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in energy management and metering services. Companies equipped to provide on-site support—required for approximately two days each week—could excel in this competitive bid. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) may find this opportunity particularly accessible, given the buyer's emphasis on suitability for such organisations. Participating in this tender allows businesses to potentially secure a long-term contract with a reputable educational institution, contributing to business growth and expanding service offerings in the energy sector. ## Notice Lancaster University is inviting expressions of interest (EOI) from organisations interested in tendering for the energy metering support services contract. Please consider the information contained in this document and any associated attachments. If your organisation will have the resource and capacity for delivering this service, and wishes to be considered for tendering, please respond as instructed below. After assessing the EOI /Supplier Selection Stage responses, the University will shortlist suppliers and invite them to participate in the closed Invitation to Tender (ITT) stage. Following the ITT stage, Lancaster University proposes to award the contract to a single supplier. The University operates an energy monitoring system (EMS) consisting of more than 1,200 electricity, gas, water and heat meters. The vast majority of meters are located at the University's Bailrigg campus (LA1 4YW), with small numbers of meters installed in the other locations. The University is progressively moving away from pulse based metering, towards Modbus metering. The University is further moving away from natural gas usage, towards the use of district heating. It is envisaged that on average, the Support Service will require 2 days per week of on-site presence.
