This project, part of the Cornwall Local Energy Market initiative, involves installing low carbon energy generation and connection infrastructure for a 2.3 MW wind turbine. The procurement process is currently in the Tender stage, with submissions due by 12:00 GMT on Monday, 1 July 2019. The contract will commence on 22 July 2019 and extend until 30 June 2020, with a total contract value of £500,000. Bidders are required to register their interest by 24 June 2019 and will access tender documents through SAP Ariba starting 10 June 2019. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses engaged in civil works, electrical installation, and renewable energy generation. Companies equipped to execute civils work, substation construction, and high voltage electrical connections will find themselves well-positioned to submit competitive bids. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, especially those with expertise in electrical systems design and installation of energy generation technologies, as this project aims to enhance renewable energy capacities in the region. ## Notice Centrica plc's Cornwall Local Energy Market project (LEM) is an EU-funded initiative involving the development of a virtual energy marketplace. The trial provides homes and businesses with the technology and a software platform to buy and sell energy and flexibility to both the supply networks and the wholesale energy market. The project's overarching aim is to demonstrate that the electricity distribution network can facilitate an increased penetration of renewable / low carbon electricity generation by invoking novel strategies including flexibility. The LEM project will enable energy asset flexibility in the most constrained areas on the distribution network in Cornwall. To this end the project will install low carbon energy generation assets, such as natural gas CHP, renewable energy generation, storage, private wire networks, and demand-side response technologies into selected industrial and commercial premises in Cornwall. We require an Independent Connection Provider (ICP) to act as EPC contractor, providing design and installation work, contributing to a single 2.3 MW wind turbine construction project. The wind turbine will be located at Ventonteague, St Allen, Cornwall and will be owned by Cornwall Council. The Contractor will be responsible for five packages of construction work contributing to this 'smart grid' wind energy project together with commissioning and the necessary approvals of the connections infrastructure; these work packages are as follows: 1) Civils work within the site boundary including the access track, crane pad and construction compound. 2) Substation design, supply and equipment installation. 3) Contestable electrical HV (33 kV) connection work from substation to DNO Point of Connection. 4) Electrical HV (33 kV) connection work from wind turbine to substation including LV and communications. 5) Broadband internet connection to substation. Respondents to this ITT will be asked to quote separately for the ongoing maintenance and inspection provision for the equipment/infrastructure installed according to (2), (3) and (4). This element will not sit within the tender and will not be assessed within the tender scoring process but will be passed to Cornwall Council (the turbine owner) for information. Several documents provide detailed specifications pertaining to aspects of this work. These are given as appendices accompanying the full Invitation to Tender which will become available after you register your interest. Additional information: Cornwall LEM Programme is being funded by Centrica and the British Gas Energy for Tomorrow Fund, alongside a PS13m grant from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF under the ESIF Growth Programme 2014-20) and as such operates under national procurement rules. To request the ITT pack, please send an email to: cornwall@centrica.com with this reference in the subject title: Cornwall LEM006g Ventonteague CC Before setting you up in Centrica's supply chain system SAP Ariba, we will require your company to complete the company information form attached.
