## Summary

The University of the West of England (UWE Bristol) is currently seeking bids for the "034/2018 CHP Procurement Programme," a project aimed at establishing a low carbon heat network on its Frenchay campus. This procurement falls under the "works" category, with a total contract value of £1,200,000 and a minimum threshold of £1,000,000. The open tender process is set to expire on 31st October 2018, with the contract anticipated to commence on 3rd December 2018 and conclude by 12th March 2019. Contractors are invited to carry out significant infrastructural modifications, including the supply and installation of various heating systems and equipment across multiple buildings, with delivery expected at the postal code BS16 1QY in the South West of the United Kingdom.

This tender presents considerable opportunities for businesses specialising in construction, energy installation, and heating system integration, particularly those with experience in low carbon technologies. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, as the procurement aligns with sustainable development goals and grants access to a burgeoning market focused on carbon reduction initiatives.

## Notice

UWE Bristol is committed to an ambitious carbon management plan with a key project in our programme being the installation of a low carbon heat network serving a number of existing and future buildings on Frenchay campus. The installation of the heat network pipework infrastructure commenced in 2016 as part of a wider redevelopment of the "campus heart-zone". UWE Bristol is seeking to appoint a suitably qualified contractor to undertake the supply, installation and commissioning of all heating plant and associated equipment within the Energy Centre, and supply and installation of substation integration equipment within each of the four existing buildings that are to be connected to the network and supplied by the Energy Centre. The existing buildings are the Students Union (SU), FBL, D-Block and SAP 2; the FET building is not yet constructed and so will be connected at a future date and so is outside the scope of these works. The scope of work also includes the sizing, design and installation of electrical connection from the CHP units to the existing LV electrical system on site. In summary, the works will comprise: a) Building works for modifications to the existing plant room that will become the Energy Centre including construction of new roof over thermal stores, new roof access stairs and plinths for equipment b) Supply, installation and commissioning of two 400kWe natural gas CHP units, and all associated equipment c) Supply, installation and commissioning of 2 x 35,000 litre insulated thermal stores to be located internally within Energy Centre d) Supply, installation and commissioning of equipment pumps, control valves and all other ancillary equipment as defined in the accompanying drawings and specifications e) Supply, installation and commissioning of all water treatment/filtration and pressurisation equipment within the Energy Centre f) Supply, installation and commissioning of heat network distribution pumps within the Energy Centre g) Supply and installation of a complete exhaust system for the CHP units h) Supply, installation and commissioning of all equipment (including heat exchangers, pipework, pumps, control valves and heat meters) within the four building substation plant rooms to facilitate connection to the network i) Supply, installation and commissioning of substations for 4 buildings j) Integration and connection of the network buildings to the district heating network k) All works associated with electrical connection of the CHP unit including liaison with electricity supplier & DNO, detailed electrical, installation testing and commissioning and G59 testing and certification l) Modification and supply, installation and commissioning of BMS systems in energy centre and substations m) Review of asbestos reports and registers to identify any areas of asbestos containing materials that may be disturbed by the works n) As-built 3D model of comp...
