Located in the South West of England, the project is classified under the energy industry, particularly involving services related to engineering and research. The procurement process is currently in the Tender stage, with deadlines for Expressions of Interest on 9th December 2017 and tender submissions due by 20th December 2017. The contract period will commence on 4th January 2018 and conclude by 31st May 2018, with a project budget of £65,000. This procurement is conducted via a direct method, specifically a single tender action below the threshold. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses that specialise in marine design and engineering, especially those with experience in the tidal energy sector. Companies equipped to provide comprehensive design support and techno-economic analysis for commercial energy arrays would be particularly well-suited to compete. The focus on optimising installation processes and reducing costs could position potential bidders favourably within a growing competitive marketplace for renewable energy solutions. With an eye on developing effective strategies to manage high tidal flow conditions, the tender encourages innovative approaches and collaboration among contractors possessing relevant expertise. ## Notice Overview Inyanga-Tech Ltd is an innovative business start-up developing new methodology for the exploitation of tidal energy on a commercial scale with a focus on efficiency and cost reduction. The company is undertaking a Concept and Feasibility Study on a novel invention for harnessing tidal energy. Tenders are invited to support 1 lot of work supporting this development- Marine Design Consultant. The Concept and Feasibility Study includes a techno-economic analysis of the innovation in the context of a commercial array to assess and challenge the effectiveness of the design process. The project has distinct work packages looking at all aspects of a commercial scale tidal array. The focus of the project is on a 30MW array but optimisation towards 100MW and 200MW commercial arrays will also be considered with a view to techno-economic scaling. During the concept phase other strategies are considered to determine if this is the most viable integration solution- this is analysed against a baseline case. Project Design Philosophy The project is the product of many years of hard-earned experience and the key drivers in developing this project are: 1. The need to reduce complexity thereby reducing costs, improving reliability and improving availability, 2. Creating a competitive market, 3. The need to reduce installation and O&M costs (especially lifecycle O&M costs), 4. The need to reduce balance of plant costs, 5. Better understand the commercial drivers for commercial arrays, 6. Achieving cost reduction and optimisation through weight reduction. Project Summary The Concept and Feasibility phase of the project will kick off on 4th January 2018 and conclude in June 2018. The budget for the Concept and Feasibility Study is 65K GBP. Expression of interest are sought from experienced contractors with a strong track record and understanding of operating in the challenging conditions experienced in high tidal flows as follows: Marine Design Consultant- extensive background experience of operations and design support to projects in the tidal energy sector. A strong understanding of the market drivers in developing a competitive cost of energy. Strong installation and supporting design experience combined with focused design are the key selection criteria. Shortlisted suppliers will be provided with a project summary package on exchange of confidentiality agreements. Deadline for Expressions of Interest and Capability Shortlisting Questionnaire is 06th December 2017 and submission of tenders is 15th December 2017. The project is receiving grant funding and will be governed by compliant procurement process. A Capability Shortlist Questionnaire will be provided on receipt of Expression of Interest. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/25b49155-707e-4b48-b7de-b48f3190cc81 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Direct | | Procurement method details | Single tender action (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 30 Nov 2017 | | Submission deadline | 15 Dec 2017 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 4 Jan 2018 - 31 May 2018 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £70,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | INYANGA-TECH LIMITED | | Locality | TRURO | | Post town | Truro | | Postcode | TR4 8PN | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK3 Cornwall and Isles of Scilly | | ITL 3 | TLK30 Cornwall and Isles of Scilly | | Local authority | Cornwall | | Electoral ward | Threemilestone & Chacewater | | Westminster constituency | Truro and Falmouth | | Delivery location | TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 09 - Petroleum products, fuel, electricity and other sources of energy - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ### Codes - 09000000 - Petroleum products, fuel, electricity and other sources of energy - 71000000 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services - 73000000 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ## Release History - 30 Nov 2017 at 11:08 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/25b49155-707e-4b48-b7de-b48f3190cc81 - 27 Nov 2017 at 07:36 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/25b49155-707e-4b48-b7de-b48f3190cc81 - 27 Nov 2017 at 07:33 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/25b49155-707e-4b48-b7de-b48f3190cc81 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/25b49155-707e-4b48-b7de-b48f3190cc81 30th November 2017 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
